Am I reading this correctly by interpreting this as “Poor people should die because in nature the weak die ?”.
Also, you know that’s a point of view that automatically places yourself in the strong, right ? Like, you’re not going to place yourself as a “weak” individual. You think you’ll “oppress” the weaker than you, and succeed. Were you not raised with empathy ?
Imagine this. You’re working at some firm, you make quite a bit of money, your significant other is waiting at your home every day and you love each other tenderly. You even have kids.
One day, they all get in a car crash (not unlikely at all, is it?) and die. All of them. You are alone. The thoughts, the pain, the wanting to kill yourself, the anger, you can’t cope. You’re a mess. Your whole family, gone. You break down doing minor tasks. You can’t work.
Because of that, you get fired. You’re without a job now, and you just want to kill yourself but you don’t. You tell yourself you’re weak. Without a job, how will you pay for the family house ? You sell your car. Life is spiraling down faster and faster and you can’t seem to make the pain stop. You’re homeless, jobless. Nothing makes sense anymore. You’ve come to terms with their death, but how do you even get back after going so low ?
Now, you would tell me, face to face, that you deserve to die for being weak.
And how have you inferred all that, O wise one ? I must be a commie for not wanting people rich enough to buy a country, that tracks. Why is that always this with you people ? “You know you have to work in society, you can’t expect to get things for free” tf kinda strawman are you doing ? Who’s saying that ? People in your deranged little mind that’s who.

I think I’d rather believe official documented android behavior.
I can access my calendars from any app on android… maybe they couldn’t access it from the app, that I can believe ; but then that’s not at all like “pay us or lose your photos”.
I’m using it as my main calendar app, all my events are accessible from other apps.
At the bottom of the “add event” menu, you have the option of choosing where it’s stored (“event types” in the settings, rather confusingly). I guess that choosing “locally” could prevent other apps from seeing the event, maybe, but I don’t use that option because I sync my calendars.
I mean, it is, if you don’t have admin you can’t install root-level malware directly (still can if the malware uses some bug to gain privilege). But I still fully agree with your point, I just wanted to say that technically, having root is dangerous in the sense that you can do anything. Most end users have no reason to modify system files etc. Since they only use a web browser and word.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t eww supposed to run alongside a window manager ? I don’t see anything else on that screen, can you even switch tabs or anything ?
You’re crazy if you think microsoft would rewrite windows. No, they’d keep the old windows ALONGSIDE the new, already bloated windows stuff. Because updates that break stuff are bad.
No need to be insufferable. I’d rather a good explanation, if all you have are indirect insults you can keep those for yourself.
I will however admit I wasn’t always the most focused student in physics class, and so my perspective may be flawed.
In any case, I don’t quite see how a portal is different from an empty window frame. It’s just a hole. The hole going towards the cube, and the cube “going through” the hole, should not create any motion relative to me. And yet, it does ?
Even relative to the blue portal, the cube went from 0 motion to have motion. How does that work ?
I’m guessing this will all boil down to “portals aren’t possible” but idk.

There’s the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.
A bit like chrome, because i’m pretty sure chrome isn’t open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.
Not going against Gnome here, but against your last sentence.
As long as they give the user the ability to opt out/in, what’s the harm in introducing it?
Pretty sure systemd did this with a lot of things and started removing things they just didn’t like. Can’t find the website I wanted to link, but it included a lot of reasons why systemd isn’t good (for example, binary logging. Why ?) “You can always opt out” doesn’t work in the real world ; people don’t care enough to switch. Why do you think google is the biggest search engine ? Mainly because it’s the default everywhere.
In this context I guess it doesn’t matter (and I couldn’t see myself using gnome, even if it has some good polish), it’s just that “you can always opt out” leaves a bad taste on my tongue.

Is putting on a 'dumb voice' when quoting someone you disagree with actually a form of poisoning the well?
And does this unfairly paint them as less agreeable than they would be if you presented what they said with a normal voice?
