Then don’t do that? You have your choice of servers.

It's not just the subscription they want to avoid. Office has been steadily enshitified to the point nobody I know likes using it anymore.

Yeah, we know.

Sure, why not. I could use a laugh, and the memes when this fails too are going to be juicy.

The warp core is used frequently, but not constantly. And while it's not in use, it's literally located directly in engineering so that it can be easily maintained.

The shield emitter is located outside the ship.

You identify as a liberal politically, don't you?

Why are the people who go to car meetups always trash?

I've been using it on Linux for months and have had zero issues. FIrefox, on the other hand, constantly crashes. When it even opens in the first place.

Zen is also being developed by an asshole who doesn't even understand the code he's working on, by his own admission. I wonder if he's fixed the backdoor he added to it yet.

And funded by a right-wing billionaire who owns the largest corporate intelligence agency on the planet. Your data is not safe with Brave.

Jim Brown

Hmm, I could have sworn I wrote John, but I guess I fucked that up. Doubly so, because I'm a big John Brown fan, and even have a sticker of him on my laptop that says "I don't argue with people John Brown would have shot".

Jim Brown would have shot these filthy pigs.

No, it doesn’t. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Kid, you've no fucking idea what I know, so stop with this adolescent shit. Your whole post is nothing more than you saying "nuh uh" to everything I wrote. If you're going to argue about stuff, at least take the time to actually be fucking informed about what you're talking about. I've been jailbreaking iPhones and taking apart Android since before you were old enough to even know what XDA is.

Android may be created by an advertising company but they also give you the ability to run whatever OS you want and strip it of Google’s proprietary software completely. These days you can install OS like Graphene by simply plugging in your phone and clicking buttons in your browser.

This is patently untrue, and a total misrepresentation of the facts. You can install other OSes on a rather small list of Android phones. Furthermore, while the user might just be clicking a few buttons, behind the scenes those buttons put into play a rather complex series of actions that break the protections put into place by Google and phone manufacturers to stop you from doing exactly that.

Saying that Google gives you the ability to install other OSes is like saying Sony gives you the ability to install other OSes on the Playstation. It isn't true, Google never gave you that ability, the technical wizardry of white hat hackers did.

Assuming for arguments sake that they do, which corporation do you think should get a better grade when privacy is the concern?

Apple, which has gone to court time and again to protect the privacy and security of their product, and leaked that a western government ordered them to backdoor their product when they were ordered not to reveal that, or Google, an advertising giant that uses every tool that having one of the largest mobile OSes on the planet gives them to not only invade that privacy, but to sell it to everyone with money, and give access away to the US government before they even demand it?

Well, I don’t see Google protesting when they’re forced to compromise privacy or security by governments. And we sure as hell wouldn’t see Google leak a secret order to backdoor their products that they were forbidden from revealing.

They aren’t great, but they sure as hell aren’t anywhere as bad as Google, and anyone that argues otherwise is either incredibly misinformed on the topic, or doing so in bad faith.

I’ll leave it to you to decide where you fit into that.

I would argue that, out of the two smartphone OSes available, iOS is the better choice for most people. They’ve done far more than Google at making sure nobody (even them), can access your data without your permission by putting encryption into a lot of their services.

In contrast, Google wants, and gets, access to everything about your life. And they’re more than willing to share that data with the government, or anyone that will pay them. And while the best option would be deGoogled Android, that’s something that most people aren’t going to be willing to use, even if they’re wising up to the need to take privacy seriously.

Privacy isn’t an all-or-nothing. Usually it’s better for each person to consider if they really need fully secure, or if a iPhone that does far more than the bare minimum at protecting their privacy is enough for them

Well, to be fair, you don’t know you’re getting it for that. As far as I’ve seen, they haven’t announced the release price yet. And a lot of studios are hoping that Rockstar will take the fall for being the first $100 game so publishers can start charging used console prices for AAA games from then on.

Either way though, I won’t be paying anything for it.

big games get delayed, a lot

And yet so many of them still suck at launch.
