Both sides of Congress have been saying for years now they are going to regulate big tech. This is one of the few things politicians have bipartisan agreeance on.

How does that relate to anything being discussed here?

No, I'm just saying there were communists in high offices during McCarthy's tenure. Where in that did I defend capitalism, or bring it up at all?

The same way I know a warehouse that takes 3 boxes in for every 2 boxes it sends out will eventually fill up. Social Security cannot fund itself, and once my generation (millennials) hits retirement age, there will not be enough young people to pay for the burden we put on the system.

It isn't magic, you need to pay the piper or default, those are your two options.

When you pick a file to upload or open from inside another application, the GTK/Gnome file picker does not allow you to have a thumbnail view of all the files. It is a meme in the Linux community at this point since there was a bug filed in 2004 asking for this feature, some even writing patches to make it work. Gnome devs refuse to change how the file picker works however.

Are they going to rethink putting thumbnails in the file selection dialog or many of their other insane decisions?

Gnome seems like they want to take the Apple approach to UI design without the attention to detail that Apple's UX has.

Everything you post online is public, even if services claim its private. Just remember that and try to be anonymous so you blend in with the background noise.

According to your own post it's the commies who fought for the broken system we have today. I personally just blame Eisenhower and his supporters, but you're free to blame who you want.

That being said I'll vote for whoever makes it so I no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars every month into a system I'll never benefit from.

A system I'm going to pay into all my life but never use because it can't find funding? I'd rather it go away ASAP.

Never. They are cheap and work, and nicer underwear isn't so much nicer that it's worth the extra money. It's underwear, it's not like other people are going to see it.

And history has shown McCarthy wasn't wrong.

See: William Remington, Solomon Adler, Frank Coe, everyone named by Elizabeth Bentley really.
