  • It's not a matter of freedom, it's a question of desired functionality. If anything, keeping your data in a sandboxed area by default respects your freedom more (that is, freedom from other apps scraping your data).

    If it's on Github, you could file a feature request to have that default behavior changed.

  • Assuming you're on Android, this is coming from the OS. It's still possible to save data in an externally-accessible place, but the default is storing things privately for each app. It's annoying for use cases like yours, but it's arguably better for overall security.

  • In as much as it pertains to me, I don't tolerate it. Otherwise, if people want to bullshit their way through their career, I don't really care. This happens in every company that has more than one employee (almost).

    If someone else starts ordering me around when they don't have the authority to do so, assuming it would change my course of action, I'll tell them politely that I might be able to get to that when I have time. If they escalate it, I tell them to talk to my boss about rearranging my priorities. And if they do that and succeed, that's fine. Once you establish that you don't report to them, I've found they typically leave me alone. If not, I talk to my boss about it in private.

  • Kool Aid man intensifies

  • The CEO of Nestlé has gone on record saying that he believes that all water sources should be privatized.

    So, to answer your question, yes.

    Though there are a plethora of stronger reasons to hate the CEO of Nestlé.

  • They gonna kis

  • Okay, so the players try chopping off a head, say the red one, and the whispers start to dissipate (and no heads grow back). Awesome! they think, and quickly dispatch the other two. But once all three heads are gone, five more grow back: green, blue, red, white, and different red, I guess? And the party is immediately beset by visions, which are somewhat clearer and more vivid than the last ones.

  • Took those accounts to the gravel pit and did what she does best

  • Would work best if the country was in Europe somewhere. Then America could be part of the EU.

  • There's a decent community of people telling you that you're the problem. To ignore that is flawed thinking on your part.

    You have two options: ignore them and continue to bitch and moan about how wrong everyone else is, or you can do some self examination and maybe be a better person for it. Your call.

  • Andre Rush is a pretty cool guy. Does a lot of charity work for veterans.

  • It depends on how much money it is, and whether you keep it all.

    If the amount were, say, less than 10 million, you'd probably do exactly what you say. If the amount were more but you gave a bunch away to have around 10 mil or less, same thing.

    If the amount is billions and you keep it all for yourself, that's when it starts doing things to you. In order to keep that for yourself, you have to justify it internally--why is it you deserve this money while others are struggling? The only way to justify it is to demonize the poor--believing that poverty is a moral failing, or otherwise believing that you're better than others.

    Extreme wealth hoarding is bad for everyone--both the poor and the rich.
