Wait which were we talking about again?

I believe in the rights of the individual, which is why I support free health care, education, and housing for all, so that every individual has a chance to succeed, no matter where they come from.

"No, not like that."

Yes, as in "Why can't I hold all these limits?"

The KKK member's name is "McClanahan?" The writers of this show are so lazy.

Differs from state to state. CA for instance has been shooting them down in court left and right--it's such a guaranteed win for you that no company would actually sue you over it.

The problem is they infect the rest of us.

No, Machiavelli sincerely argued for this kind of extreme pragmatism--do whatever's necessary to get what you want. It was wasn't satire. It's pretty obvious why he didn't get the job as advisor, though.

FWIW Gmail no longer sells your email data to advertisers either. That changed years back.

The Prince was certainly not satire. He wrote it to Lorenzo de Medici with the intention of being hired as his advisor. The entire book is specific instructions of how to rule for this very purpose. Of course he wasn't hired, since the book boils down to "be as duplicitous as you can be to get what you want."

Do you have a source for this? I don't doubt you, but I can't find anything online that corroborates it.

Android app store says this shares purchases, location info, device ID and app interactions with 3rd parties... Voyager shares no data with 3rd parties.

The point of this is that it's a redirect. The link isn't taking you to xyz.com, it's going to abc.com which redirects to xyz.com. The abc.com server redirects to the second link -- there's no way to know where it'll take you unless you follow it.

It could only know that by navigating to the link in the background. That would have side effects, like them being able to track you even when you don't click on links.

I understand it since switching to vertical tabs via Sidebery. You can organize them into panels/groups/nested hierarchy, and tabs are only reloaded when you open them, so it's not as if you maintain 7k tabs in RAM. Think of it more like bookmarks that are actually organized and useful. It's what bookmarks might have been if not for Pocket.

Their strategy is very clearly making the university uncomfortable and getting the entire nation discussing it, so I'd say it's working pretty well so far.

I run nix unstable, so I get all the latest software. It's actually been very stable for me, and I love knowing I can rollback at any time if something happens to break.
