"I'm not a tankie, I just parrot all of their talking points and their weird, myopic rhetorical style."

Everything Google has done with emojis after the original version of the blobmojis has been obnoxious and weird

"Alternative facts"

Yeah I've seen a few things get messed up by that idiotic rule. When you euphemistically say "reasons" in italics, it sounds worse than it is. I assumed you were trying to gently tell people "Google suspended the dev for being racist" or something.

Usage data is a crutch, effective developers can make good software with zero telemetry and did so for several decades.

They added features that benefit power users and developers? I'm sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough

What if I were to tell you that it was possible to buy software online before the Google Play Store existed?

Rich people don't really seem to be smart so much as they just have a sort of rat-like cunning that confers high performance at screwing people and stealing shit.
