I mean I guess they could have hid this in a game app, but it would have been more questionable why it wanted all of those permissions.
They should just ban cleanup/AV/nonsense utility scumware as a category from their stores, these things aren't really needed on such locked down mobile OS. They might have had some value in the day of like Windows 95 but now they are just the computer equivalent of a scummy mechanic charging an old lady for 'turn signal fluid'.
Is there some way to short cryptocurrency that doesn't involve the same bullshit wild west risks of getting involved with these bitcoin exchanges? I smell a lot of dollars to be made, but not if some asshole Russian can just steal them from me after my bet comes in.
Sure the house is cheaper in Appalachia but if you want to say fuck it and retire to Palm Springs when you turn 65, your house is worth shit and you're basically stuck there.
Imo get a work from home position from a California tech company, and then live in Appalachia while saving the difference. That's how you get ahead and eventually return to civilization.
I'm guessing it's 20 years old or more, not sure when they started doing webmail.
Mine actually has a 4 character password I made when I was a teenager that I've they've never forced me to update in all that time. I've always kept it that way out of a sense of nostalgia for web 1.0 -- not like the account is used for anything anymore.

By Nazis I assume you mean liberals. They are very similar in beliefs. You aren't specific but it makes sense.
You are incorrect. I am hating on honest-to-god swastika toting, jew-hating, white nationalist Nazis that are growing in power in America. Hate on 'liberals' all you want, but you'll have to come up with another name for whatever they are up to since Nazi-ism is already defined and not really applicable here.
Ironically, the Nazis posting the hate speech probably would. Because they would take it as a personal affront and would see a victory in beating the system.
I think the average users (teenagers, housewives, grandmas) who would get caught up in the fallout would just move on to some other social media site, Facebook isn't THAT sticky.
This site hasn't been for smart people for almost 15 years. It's a sounding board for racists, curmudgeons and Nazis to complain about a world that is passing them by.
The USB-C hate is transitional. It seems bad now. In 5 years, we'll look back and wonder at having so many different ports.
Just like when USB started and replaced the mouse port, and the keyboard port, and the serial port, and the parallel port, and the game port, and some other ports.
No question there, but transitional would be including at least a single USB-A port until there are a critical mass of USB-C peripherals, not pulling an Apple where they had no way to connect their flagship phone to their flagship laptop without a dongle.
And while I see the value in moving from USB-A to C, I'm not sure I see the value (to me, as an end user) in eliminating the ubiquitous headphone jack, or SD card reader.
Yes, I can buy dongled ones, but it's something else I have to re-buy for no perceptible gain.
Some of these are out of date, and most are laptop only, but my list:
-Magnetic power adapter. Maybe I'm rougher on them than your average user, but 3 of the 4 laptops I owned from 1999-2009 all died because of the AC jack failing/coming unsoldered/etc. To the point where I had to hold the plug at certain angles to maintain charge.
-OS X was the polished Unix OS I'd been looking for after 10 years of dabbling with Linux but it always being unwieldy/unsupported enough to keep me on Windows
-Laptop Touchpad + gestures. In 2009 there was no comparison, I'm not sure how far PC laptops come along in this regard since then, or how much is locked behind BS Apple patents.
-Laptop Build Quality. My MacBook Air in 2009 was an amazing revelation after years of plastic PC laptops that all creaked if you held them by the corner. My perception is that the PC manufacuters have caught up here and you can get all metal cases unless you buy super bargain basement.
-This was always avoidable on PC, but Apple didn't force crapware down your throat on a new laptop purchase.
So why is the Apple Distortion Field cracking for me?:
-They got rid of the magsafe power adapters
-They got rid of ports than I need (HDMI, SD Card, traditional USB, Headphone fucking jack) in the name of going all USB-C. I would have been fine with phasing the USC-C ports in with at least a single traditional USB port for backwards compatibility.
-Price
-Gluing/soldering in components like RAM/SSD. That should be outlawed in the same way that a non-standard shaped gas tank connector which forced you to always go to Exxon stations is.
-Focus on cloud shit that I don't want, or focus on locking down/iOSifying shit that I don't want. I'm for the most part OK with locked down defaults so long as I can go into System Preferences and tell it 'I'm an adult'
Looking forward to games being randomly pulled in and out of the catalogue while I'm in the middle of playing them, at whim of always changing agreements between the streaming service and the publishers.

He implied it? I mean there lies the rub.

Are cars actually cheaper in Appalachia? I'm willing to fly out and drive one back home if so, I like a good road trip.
You linked to an opinion column which doesn't even explain what infractions he's actually suing about?
Who gives a shit. Just buy GTA VI if its any good at all. GTA games generally rule (4 a bit less so).
LIke its $59 (maybe, at launch).
Just buy the goddamn game. Who cares about some modders anime tit mod.

Looks nice. Which 4K monitor did you get in this build?
It will be pretty cool when they drop the prices and let me bring in food to fill some seats :-)
I say may as well experiment since the Slashdot groupthink / ideology as basically Naziism as this point.

Ain't none of those around except in your imagination.
It really doesn't matter if you're trolling or disingenuously lying here, denying them either way just makes you complicit in their crimes.

they would probably learn quite fast.

I think the number of Facebook users who understand what a proxy or VPN is and how to use one is vanishingly small. But sure.

Millennials don't have any money, unless it's from their student loads for their useless liberal arts degree.
Lol you're a caricature of a curmudgeonly grandfather from 1968.

There's enough population to ensure we didn't have President Hillary! inflicted upon us.
Well, when certain multipliers are applied to make that population's votes worth more than the plurality that voted for Ms. Clinton, sure.
