Why would China give a shit about a normal USA citizen enough to log them, and what would they do with that data?
Serious question, I'm genuinely curious how, if it's true, what is the worst that would happen to me.
Also they make Android phones, you know, the one OS that Google already put tracking services on by default. How is it worse than Google doing the same thing?
There's a very easy way to still have privacy, by just asking:
"Would you like to enable logging and data collection solely so we can debug our software and find bugs and other user experience problems for this software? Yes/No"
1% tax per year on profit if you want to keep the copyright. Copyright solves itself and revenue can still be gained if you're really desperate enough.
Well for the OS, since 2010. Arch Linux. There is VM usage but it's rare nowadays and Wine handles everything else.
I'm not a big fan of doling out personal information however, so beyond saying "just once" and not really wanting to go into details, don't wanna go into it.
GPD Win 2. Actually a tablet with touchscreen, but also folds out into gaming controls. If I had money to burn I'd do it but I don't have the around $750-850 USD to burn depending on where you get it.
2018 is looking to be #4, but we can't actually say that without actually going through the whole year obviously; but last April was the third warmest on record: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/...
The higher temperatures are affecting all crops, but their effects are most pronounced under Middle East and African Desert countries currently, but their effects should be closely examined to find ways to stop them in general. Citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Because I much prefer the rolling release cycle, nor having to add PPAs to get software (the rolling release cycle removes this need in the first place). There isn't a need since almost every package is in Arch to some extent.
What are you talking about? You can easily choose to use another desktop window manager (I use XFCE, there's LXDE, KDE and more), Pulseaudio isn't actually required (see this screenshot: nothing depends on it except the preference manager software and an emulator for ALSA only apps https://i.imgur.com/rIc6Ccx.pn...) and I can remove SystemD using this: https://systemd-free.artixlinu... but honestly Pulseaudio and SystemD have not given me problems, but if they did I know how to remove them. So why complain when you can fix it yourself easily?
I'm not pissed they threw out XUL. I'm disappointed that the replacement doesn't have as many features. With XUL you could change the UI to a very large degree (remove the toolbars completely and organize the UI however you want), how tabs are organized (like on the sides), (a long time later fixed) preempt loading for ad/scriptblocking, and load local CSS from the disk under an HTTPS page (this is marked as WONTFIX https://github.com/tysonmatani... and breaks Stylus usage when people with disabilities would need it (I don't fall into this category however)). The replacement wasn't up to par as the original; I do know that security wise some of these decisions make sense, but what made Firefox special was removed and not replaced.
[On Youtube] spacebar still works for pausing and playing, arrow up and down keys for volume and left and right arrow keys for 10ish second seeking. Am I missing something here?
Actually my router is also Linux. So weekly, every Sunday night. Cronie, the cron job manager handles it for me, even the rebooting if necessary; with the LTS kernel for minimal changes except bug and security fixes.
It is for me, but there's a chicken and egg problem: the big companies don't release paid software for Linux. I'm stuck using Wine (which has gotten a lot better recently but it's not gonna be perfect)
This is how botnets are spread and made. Through an internet connecting service that is usually security patched in a week at most but due to the huge userbase of Windows and the habit of not installing patches immediately, the botnet swells. The answer isn't to not patch windows, it's that windows patches should not get in the way of the user (by not requiring restarts and happening in the background quickly)
The solution isn't to force restarts. It's to remove the need to restart at all, or at least not wrest the control from the user to update. It should be able to update itself without restarting or at least getting in the user's way. Linux can do it easily already, (that's comparing apples to oranges however) and can even do it with kernel patches.

Whoops meant to post this here.

Eh I'll just post this link here and you can draw your own conclusions.

That stopped in July 2016, because now you have to pay for it. https://support.microsoft.com/...
They think people would pay for that garbage... nah.
It's like you keep walking to the guy that's abusing you dude, just walk away and never look back.

I got some numbers for you to chew on.

I was curious what the list contains but it seems it doesn't exist yet. Darn.

Told you your attempt was garbage, it took only 1 reply for me to do the very thing you tried. Go big or go home.

The data says very much otherwise, and there's only legacy software forcing people into Windows nowadays. The only thing garbage here is your attempt.

Linux is free. Updates only when told to. Doesn't have telemetrics by default. Never looked back except in VMs.

Superfetch. It defrags the computer in the background. Switch to an SSD and it's disabled.

Except play music. I think some people install and use it for that feature alone.
