I've set-up my Google account to not track *anything* from me at all. Not keep a record of anything I search (Google Search), I see (Google YouTube) or hear (Google Music).

I've a Facebook account which I think I've used only three or four times since creation about 6 years ago; and normally I do never login on it unless extrictly needed (last time was about 6 months ago) and I log-out right after.
I do have an Instagram account, now owned by Facebook, and keep it running always in background mode in my Android; where I do also have an ad-block installed (rooted).
Well, I looked for colagen pils for my mother in Google Search a month ago and what was my surprise that the same day on the evening the very same pils brand I bought appeared as an ad in Instagram (where I only look for calligraphy, medieval illumination and bookbinding).
Einstein said such thing (light warping) happens but there was no hope (no probability) to see that. And you know what? He was right, as far as his whole life. So, even dead, there's nothing to "prove" to him that he didn't prove already.
This case is the similar (but not the same) with Higgs' Bosom, Higgs tought he would be dead before proving the existence of his bosom. He was wrong.
There, you can read: "It is the smallest of the seven traditional continents in the English conception." Meaning, only you, English speakers, have an "Australian Continent", not the Science Community.
I don't understand what you're saying here. What in the hell is 1 kp of potatoes?
If you don't know the basics of science, then, I don't see why you irritates from what I've written.
And why do you get to declare physical geology the arbiter of continents, not geology as a whole? And why is Eurafrasia necessarily a "Wrong Definition"?
First, my bad, I meant "phisical geography" (not geology). Second, I didn't wrote Eurafrasia (that's your making), I wrote Europe-Asia-Africa, which is different. I lacked here more explaining. Continent division, nowadays, have almost nothing to do with continental plaques.
Australia was, is and will be an set of islands, while "island" definition doesn't change.
Another thing is that, "in the vulgar/common language of English speakers", you call it "Australian Continent", which is WRONG (main island is in one continental platform and some of its islands are in others).
Same as if you go to the grocery shop and buy "1 kg" (vulgar language) of potatoes, when what you're buying is "1 kp" of potatoes.
Europe is a different continent from Asia, which is absurd, in terms of geography.
Erm, no. What defines a "continent" is not the "geology" but the "physical geology". By your wrong definition, then Europe, Asia AND Africa should be one single continent as they are linked.
Same way we differentiate between arms, legs, etc. in the same body.
You ask: " What's so outrageous or even particularly newsworthy about this?"
I will try to answer it if this was 1980 (the year): "You were in a manifestation, you were arrested and the police enter into your house, take all of your diaries, your bank account information, your telephone call registry, your photobooks (those when you were a child too), your clothes (to check if there are anything in there), your trashbin, the documents you might have from your work, the information about your work companions, your driving license, your car keys, your car documents, they rip apart your childhood toys in case there's something hidden inside, they interrogate your family, friends, neighbors, boss, about everything you might have done, think, written, ask; they add you to a list of suspects, they interrogate you.... AND all of this just because YOU MIGHT BE one that destroyed a shop glass, or a car, etc."
Did you got the "you might be" part? Did you notice that you have lost your privacy forever (all persons that were asked about you will never trust you again)? Did you got you'll be marked as criminal forever because of a "you might be"?
When your government shits in the Human Rights, you're nothing more than a shit. If you let them, you're worst.

Reality: Free TV is so full of commercials, people is paying just to avoid them. Happens with Internet TV that you can rip HQ from it (not like "private hardware home decoders" where you can't even plug an USB).
Quote: "It seems like you're arguing that a comic character created by an artist for DC while working at DC isn't DC's IP and that character goes with the creator wherever they may work, which is just ridiculous."
Answer: No, it's not ridiculous. It's a right. The character's owner is the artist. The same way if J. K. Rowling wants to publish next Harry Potter character book on another publishing company. It's her creation same as the artist' comic character.
Another thing is that DC (& the rest))/MPAA/RIA and the rest of the comic publishers are just ********* stealing the work of creators.
Quote: "The biggest problem is government control of the internet."
WRONG! (properly capitalized)
The biggest problem is that China is a country with a dictatorship and that shit in Human Rights.
(Real) example: I'm gay. If I go there to work I'm not allowed to live (if I go to the street and kiss my couple, or even f**k at home, both get killed and the Government send the bullets bill to our families).
Quote: "he is particularly mindful of the economic impact of combating climate change."
Enlightenment: Should I buy a gadget built in US that is more expensive, in the production is more contaminant to the planet and has no warranty in my country; or a cheaper or equally priced, planet-caring with 2-year warranty one?
Sincerely, if Trump worries about the economic impact of selling more expensive, unsafe and contaminant products he ain't showing it at all...
And to answer the obvious question -- they're using Ubuntu, with the Unity desktop.
Darn, and I thought they were using LFS to actually *learn* about the OS and not just using old software versions...
Hopefully, next thime the will try something inbetween, maybe ArchLinux or even Gentoo...
When people started to realize that mobiles, iCraps, Nezus 9, PDAs and other monstruosities ain't built for real work (but publicity and companies catalogs), real computers are being sold again.
Now, if it would just remove X11/Xorg completely and rely only in Wayland, it would be my dream distro:-)
(Dreaming is allowed, ain't it?)
PS: I grew writting the X11 config file manually in my long-dead first PC and grew really hating X11 (like when as child something makes you sick and, as adult, you eat it but don't like it).
1) UK got privileges no other country got: - They kept their old monetary unit (GBP) - They kept the *right to refuse entry* (not signed SENGEN) - They kept the old measuring unit system (instead of International System) - They kept colonies in other countries of the EU (Gibraltar) even though it's clearly illegal and have a specific article forbidding it. Etc.
2) The Universal Declaration of Human Right, which all countries are obliged to comply with as is *written* in the European Treaties and Constitution, says clearly: Art. 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
3) As the UK did not comply with the "rights" part of the UDHR, forced by the EU Constitution and International Treaties, and shitted in the treaties that form the core and meaning of the EU (SENGEN, no colonies, etc.) I can say anything but...
GO F**K YOURSELVES

First, there's TTIP (where US want to force Europe, which forbids GMO to be sold for human, to change the laws and the sanity laws to buy their products).
Now, there's *this*, made by... US, telling that GMOs are OK and wonderful.
And for those GMOs-are-great-other-people-are-stupid, let me point you to "milk" and see why the Chinese can't drink it in adulthood and we Europeans can.
Now, show me what the GMOs can really do *in the long term*. Ops, you can't. Why?
And last, think, if such intolerance comes from just natural milk, what could happen with GMO? And a last thought, couldn't it be possible that the last increase of milk-intolerant people in the US be related to the consumption of GMOs? (Because the same trend does not happen in Europe and we have immigrants from Asia too).

Well, wouldn't it be possible that they got absorbed as a supernova does to near stars?
It's the same as saying that if you have an app with internet access and you left the default passwords (imagine one of e-commerce).
It's the user's fault and program's bad design (it should create a random pass on first install, never a "default" one).
I'm "half"-millennial and I really don't care at all who paid for the series as much as you all don't know who are the producers of most of the films.

This answer goes for you and for those you downvoted my previous message.
Can you repeat this in the vulgar/common language of the English speakers?
Vulgar/common language is the language people speaks freely in the streets and might not be proper or exact in its meaning.
So, stop thinking everyone wants to insult/attack you ('cause most people doesn't care to do so).

And your statement comes from the ignorance that Morocco is NOT part of EU, as the EU Constitution states.
Oh, wait, you haven't read the EU Constitution at all, that explains why is Ignorance speaking.
Here's the naked truth from an Spaniard:
1) UK got privileges no other country got:
- They kept their old monetary unit (GBP)
- They kept the *right to refuse entry* (not signed SENGEN)
- They kept the old measuring unit system (instead of International System)
- They kept colonies in other countries of the EU (Gibraltar) even though it's clearly illegal and have a specific article forbidding it.
