    Yeap, I suppose...

  7. I shouldn't need to click some "I agree" on some privacy agreement to use a tool for what it was designed to do.

    Yeaaahhh; I'm going to need you to look at a bridge I have for sale (and come in on Saturday, oh and Sunday, *sips coffee* )

    Everything may be seen from multiple perspectives - I highly doubt messaging-tool-creator's reason for creating the messaging tool is to allow you to communicate with ur 'virtual' buddies so with that in mind, maybe you should be giving them permission to do what they really intend with your data? Of course, they probably won't actually ask for permission for that but hey, whattaya gonna do?

  8. Yeap, I make the changes in my head - as it's a contract it's completely fair that both parties provide terms. I provide the other party the same opportunity for review of my modifications as they gave me for their original terms (none) and everyone's happy =D

  9. Once you realise that the whole law thing is a sham to keep the majority in their place and that noone really believes in fairness, it gets easier.

    ...in a world where your payment turns to monopoly money after two years.

  15. I thought they already have an app for this although some people take pictures of food.

  16. Ummmm, to prevent that dangerous exercise thing everyone's warning about?

  17. Yeah, that should be Aluminium-free foil :P

  18. Perhaps they're 'serious about invading their customers' privacy' ?

  19. Amazon may sue because of your obvious attempts to damage Alexa!

  20. What do expect people?

    Why do you think these devices are sold?

  21. The problem isn't facial recognition, or Amazon; it's the police and self-appointed (yes, 'wider society' appoints them, blah blah) groups with a monopoly on coercive force. Oh yeah, and the mindset which would lead someone to join this type of group.

    Glad Microsoft is finally doing what it should have done from the start of this.

    Replacing a bought-new-with-a-fault laptop with a refurbished one?

  23. Do:
      * fix the problems which irritate;
