They're not objecting to an unauthorized usage, they're objecting to fraudulent usage which is designed to provide an unfair competitive advantage, which is an anticompetitive practice.
That was a different time. If it makes you feel any better, I've pointed that out myself repeatedly, and made the only-half-joke several times that Trump makes you want Nixon back. Hell, at this point I'd settle for Nixon's head in a jar. If I believed in lizard man theories, I'd figure that was the point of a Trump presidency.
it's that speech can promote violence. Until you understand the argument, the best you'll ever be able to do is logical fallacies.
"Can promote" is not a an argument, it is a hypothetical without any kind of attribution of responsibility.
No, it's a conditional which denotes the fact that not all speech promotes violence. This is a lot simpler than you want it to be. Reality doesn't work the way I want it to either, but I don't pretend otherwise.
Not everybody is already aware of the existence of all products and services that might interest them.
That kind of information belongs in trade publications and the like, the ultimate targeted advertising. It never made any sense to pop up ads to people on unrelated content. It only alienates potential customers. You want your content to be where they will find it if they go looking for it, not to pop up when they're looking for something else.
It was worth doing because now we can say to advertisers "we gave you the opportunity, you blew it, and now you are blocked."
They already had the opportunity to not be assholes, and they blew it by tracking people in the first place. The DNT flag only ever aided fingerprinting, so it was only ever stupid.
It is telling that you would rather herp a derp about Trump than speak about original point - speech is not violence.
You don't get to talk shit about herp a derp while willfully misconstruing the argument, you disingenuous douchebag. It's not that speech is violence, it's that speech can promote violence. Until you understand the argument, the best you'll ever be able to do is logical fallacies.
Further, the point wasn't that LO and friends are perfect, but that in context, there is little to complain about since the alternative is in every aspect considerably worse.
I don't disagree, but LO can be made substantially better with substantially more effort in the interface department. I already have it installed, I'm a fan in general, but the Calc interface literally makes me angry every time I use it. Yes, I know I have issues. However, Excel doesn't do this, so I am entirely sure that LO can be improved.
We have hard proof that the US has backdoors into hardware designed and made in the US. That's a fact, we know it with absolute certainty.
Citation needed.
Unlike you, I actually wanted such a citation, so I googled for "the US has backdoors into hardware designed and made in the US". I got back a pretty good hit but without citations, but it was from a story in 2013 so I appended 2013 to my search terms and found severalgoodreferences. Also, let me take this opportunity to remind you to Never forget Qwest.
Maybe you're just terrible at googling, and need to work on that, but it seems more likely that your request for citations was disingenuous. If not, though, don't be so goddamned lazy.
Its not quite the same. In the US a company currently can't be compelled to install a backdoor into their hardware, or otherwise degrade the security of their hardware.
Up next: The fear mongering Net Neutrality article if the day where we pretend its about equal bandwidth rules when it's actually about kicking conservative media off the internet.
Whut? How is making sure conservatives can get their traffic about kicking them off the internets?
Larry Niven had the concept of, shit, don't remember what he called it.
He called it organlegging.
But 3 speeding tickets made you an organ donor. The Chinese aren't too far from that.
They've executed people for cheating on their taxes, and they imprison people and set them to labor for practicing Christianity — not that I'm a fan of that, but I'm even less a fan of persecution of people for ideas.
Bullshit. Libreoffice is fine, there is nothing wrong with the interfaces or anything else.
Bullshit back at you. I'm an outspoken critic of Microsoft's products and practices, but the interface of Excel is dramatically better than that of Calc, for example. Even O97's interface beats the hell out of Libre today.
It can't be coincidence that ALL comments section, from youtube to/. to newspapers all across the country have the same language, the same namecalling, the same unwillingness to listen, and it all started at the same time. Either someone is looking to make bank on our divisiveness, or.... we are truly this divided for reals. If the latter, then we're a cunt hair away from civil war.
It's both. There's been a concerted effort to troll America, and the right-wing American trolls have adopted its methods because they can see that they work. And those people have been emboldened by Trump's words and actions, and become louder. They learned the lesson that if they can divide liberals, they can make us less effective.
I don't know you or your past conduct, but unless you were casually dropping N-word or viciously going after someone in other ways, you were not "actually hurting people" with things you used to say.
Actions have consequences, and one of the consequences of some speech is that it emboldens people who do bad things by creating an environment where their ideas are normalized. It's not just N-bombs, or "vicious" verbal attacks, but also the maintenance of a culture of abuse.
Speech is violence is a discredited trope and an excuse used to try to justify censorship.
Speech is not itself violence, but some speech does legitimize violence in the minds of the willfully or otherwise spectacularly ignorant. It might not be direct harm, but it's still contributory.

That doesn't differentiate the two in any way.

Yeah, just patch the thing and ship it.
No need to run full regression tests and make sure the fix didn't break anything else.
If fixing a bug in an app breaks your OS, then your OS is garbage.

They couldn't just update the app and push out the update? And the new OS update doesn't apply to older devices?
This smells of Apple-scented shit.
Grandstanding? It's not news that Republicans don't give a shit about the environment, so what's the goal here?

Please, you can do better than "Orange man bad" shitposting.
If only you could do better than "It says orange man is bad so it must be wrong" head-up-ass posting.
The problem is, where do you get O97?
I never got rid of mine :)

Pollution will us much quicker than fucking Global warming.
You accidentally a word there.
you put a stop to pollution, your fucking Global Warming crisis will disappear.
Sure, as long as you include CO2 pollution.
Provided that these studies are accurate, they shouldn't be rejected, purely because we don't like the source
The fact is that accepting these studies encourages them to murder more people for their organs, which is something we know they are doing.
That is one stupid overgeneralizing crap of bull.
Name one time when an AC post protected someone from something other than being recognized as a troll. Just one will do as a counterexample.

You lost the argument there, buddy.
No, sport, America is losing the argument, and only big pharma execs are winning.
