I was really hoping that Chocolatey would make updates much easier. The only real issue I've seen so far is that it's support for portable apps is very poor. I generally prefer not to install if possible, many apps run just fine from an extracted archive. Even the ones that claim to need installing.
Problem is that they would have to make significant changes to keep it fresh, otherwise all the plot details would be known or guessed before the movie came out. And they would get the same criticisms anyway, that all the new characters suck, are black, are too good with the Force, that the original characters don't get good plot lines or are killed off, random new force powers...
The good news is that people like you are becoming marginalized and a small enough minority to not matter any more. The process just needs to be accelerated as much as possible.
I'm not keen on defending Musk, but if there is a reasonable business case for using private jets then the overall improvement to the environment from Tesla cars and solar power is probably worth it.
You could make the same argument about the rockets that put up satellites for monitoring climate change. You have to weigh a one-off hit against the longer term and wider benefits.
Brietbart isn't an antidote, it's fake news that actively tires to mislead you. The fact that you think otherwise suggests that you do actually need help figuring out what is reliable and what isn't.
Hmm, yeah, maybe. It doesn't say they have to offer service to everyone though.
Having said that don't you have to have some kind of contract with Tesla even if you own a Tesla? They don't have payment terminals on the chargers themselves, you must have to set up an account with them. Maybe they will roll out an app.
The problem with proxies is that you can't load your own certs on to things like smart TVs. Also I think Google has pinned certs in its apps for things like YouTube anyway.
College degrees were never offering the kind of value people think they were. Graduates would not go straight into a job and know how to do it, they would go straight into training and the company would be reasonably sure of getting a decent employee at the end of it.
Employers don't want to spend money on training so they ask universities to teach students skills directly applicable for their jobs. That was always a terrible idea and just doesn't work.
People complain about useless degrees. My mum has a degree in Latin. A dead language. At the time it was popular and no-one expected it to be of any practical use, and employers were falling over themselves to give Latin graduates a job so they could train them.
His point is a little different though. Even if getting a degree was free, a lot of people still wouldn't get one and feel locked out of the jobs market. Would coal workers be so frustrated if they could get decent jobs in other industries, instead of being met with a wall of "degree required" and left to fight over the low level service jobs?
Of course that means that companies need to train workers.
It would help if updating was easier. I keep meaning to try Chocolatey or another package manager to make the process easier. The effort of downloading and installing/extracting VLC every time they release an update is too great for me to bother.
If it was just VLC I might, but most apps are as bad. Particularly annoying is when you have non-default install options that the update resets every time.
Huawei is owned by the Chinese government and is credibly accused of spying. If they don't want to do business with the US and thus are able to ignore our laws, that's one thing. To walk through US jurisdiction knowing you're wanted?
Canada is US jurisdiction now?
Huawei isn't owned by the Chinese government. There are some links, mostly with top execs being members of the Party. Obviously that's terrible, US tech moguls are never involved with the government. The NSA had to hack them itself!
Half the time the upgrade doesn't add any value for the user, so why upgrade? VLC is a great example, it pretty much just works and the updates only add support for very obscure stuff that most users don't care about.
The real problem is that security fixes are not well communicated, and that sometimes abused as a way to get users to take user-hostile changes.
Only a complete fucking moron thinks it's OK to let a device as easily hacked, infected with malware from the appstore, and/or stolen as a mobile phone to have access to their bank accounts.
Isn't it safer to carry your phone, protected by a password or biometrics, than a wallet which contains payment cards that only need to be touched to a reader to spend your money? Or actual cash?
By the way, I assume you are basing this claim on a large number of actual incidents of people's phones being hacked and the hackers accessing their bank accounts, so would you mind sharing them with us?

What is your threat model where someone steals your phone and has the technical ability to bypass the security on it?

An original story was the way to go.

How did you get from optional browser plug-in to OS level censorship by NATO?
Kinda like he the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of the Congo are both democratic republics, right?
It's 12 in the UK, and not available in Ireland.
It's amazing that people still think guys like Hitler and Stalin were socialists.

App stores and search engines do it too. They favour new apps and recently updated web pages.
Users are partly to blame for this. They think that an app that hasn't been updated for 3 years is dead and abandoned, when in fact it's just stable.
Hmm, yeah, maybe. It doesn't say they have to offer service to everyone though.

in impossible to repair, glued and welded shut non-user servicable hardware.
Apple would be proud.

Actually that is possible with PiHole. It's the pre-roll ads it can't block.
Until Google changes the domain names of the interstitial ad servers.

The problem with both is that they have two competing customers.
Amazon has the buyers and the sellers. The users and the service providers.
The government has the electorate and the big donors.
Conflicting interests, and an incentive to abuse both.
People who object to the Code of Conduct and systemd. Presumably they are all using BSD, or maybe FreeDOS now.

On Android you can use any payment app you like, it doesn't have to be Google Pay. Many banks offer their own.
