no, actually they are not. Protesting the Trump administration and its policy actions and goals are different than protesting the United States government writ large. Being the current president does not make protests against him protests against the united states government
exactly!
"but why do I have to pay taxes that fund public schools if I don't have kids or I have kids but they don't go to public school?"
uh...because quality schools raise your property value, so there's that direct ROI that benefits you. Also a well-educated population is a more competitive, employable population and attracts jobs to your community which also benefits you. It also reduces poverty and all the issues poverty creates (homelessness, crime) which consume money that could go to education and lower property values. You literally have everything to gain and only a small amount of money to loose if you adequately fund education!
Reddit is not the government. The first amendment only protects your speech from the government. Reddit is under no obligation to give hatespeech a platform to amplify it. Also hatespeech is an implicit threat. If you can't respect another human's right to exist or their civil rights as a citizen, your beliefs are inherently threatening to any demographic targeted by it
all this does is add an additional hoop to jump through. You'll just get "opt-in or else you can't/won't be able to use our (full) service" message that everyone will just click through like every EULA ever
for facebook? because when you tap to record and post a video, it needs camera and mic access. There are innocuous reasons for it to need that permission too.
its absolutely confirmation bias/delusions of grandeur. I think people don't realize how much they reveal about themselves via means other than being listened in on, but when they see targeted advertising, they assume someone monitors their conversations rather than making predictions based on other things you do online. My ad profiles on social media are skewed heavily towards things I do at work because that's the only place I can't aggressively block and disable tracking technology. Almost none of my ad profiles contain info relevant to my personal life which I would assume they would pick up if they were actively monitoring my conversations. They are basically deprived of that information because I actually care enough to know how to and actually block and limit their ability to track me. It's actually hilarious how off-base some "targeted" advertising is because of this.
Even if they were, as long as they comply with the terms of the GPL, they're within their rights to do whatever they want no matter how much you piss and moan about it. I only see it as a good thing. Instead of insisting "all servers should be Microsoft servers", they've acknowledged that Linux is more popular and is doing what they can to adapt.
most of my friends and family who can't afford medical care forego medical care entirely. My niece is losing her CHIP because congress can't get its shit together and will lose access to the mental health services she needs
What do you mean their lawsuit was ineffective at fixing the root cause of the problem!? I thought lawyers could fix anything!
Seriously, though, if Angelfire could block direct linking of their assets, Getty Images can to. Google should have de-indexed their images for this fuckery!
I'm surprised that excel is the industry standard for this type of work though. Excel Macros seem like an afterthought bolt-on to a product that wasn't meant to be used like that.
my android autocorrects "were" to "we're" 100% of the time even though I am using "were" correctly in the sentence and use it probably 70% of the time.
Isn't Mozilla's mission internet privacy? Wouldn't google as default be counter to that? Why not duckduckgo? Let users opt-in to google if they want, but promote privacy-centric duckduckgo
If your youtube channel want to target children, why not vet them as "safe" first? As a content creator, you can request the vetting required to be viewable by youtube kids which may include signing a contract that requires adherence to the guidelines of youtube kids content. If you get vetted and violate the guidelines, google hauls your ass to court for breach of contract and punishes you for abusing their platform to traumatize children. Producers of Robot Chicken-style content would not pursue this vetting and therefore not be visible to kids but still available to their adult target audience.
is just a bunch of people dying in accidents and such. It's not really glorifying violence or self-harm. These people aren't trying to die, they just happened to die terribly
at htis point, mint as a distro is just one of two DE on top of ubuntu with the restricted-extras package pre-installed, but without the ability to upgrade in place, which just creates more problems for average users who don't realize their system is no longer receiving patches and updates and has no idea how to back-up, reinstall, and reconfigure everything on a 6 month/2 year basis. Considering that Ubuntu MATE exists, Mint is really just a broken Cinnamon version of Ubuntu
I think the point is that google shouldn't be sourcing sites known for hoxes, conspiracy theories, fake news, and other forms yellow journalism on their news platform. There is absolutely no reason that I should see infowars presented alongside reuters on my google feed (the thing that appears when you swipe right from the home screen on a google pixel), but I have.
Allow commands to pipe in and out of LXD containers and you're there. Everyone's freaking out over the WSL, but forget about the other option people have: not using Linux/Linux-based tools at all, going 100% Windows-native. Which would you prefer?

Every article explains how to activate this, but I have a Google phone and all my apps are up-to-date, but I see none of this in my settings
you know how your reduce entitlement spending? reduce poverty that necessitates it. How do you reduce poverty? EDUCATION AND ENTITLEMENTS!

Seriously, though, what does google stand to loose if people using custom ROMs want to voluntarily use their software??
you're not obligated to use systemd. You're free to use whatever you want. Use your freedom to pick or develop an alternative

bureaucratic overhead or bureaucratic overhead+a mandate to make profit for shareholders. Tough choice!

So basically google+ not a troll, but that description sounds a lot like what google+ became.

Why are people STILL hating on pulseaudio? I, for one, like when multiple applications can output audio simultaneously without blocking
I like KDE, but I often feel like they prioritize developing new features over fixing bugs in existing ones.
