The Linux way: I use Duckduckgo in a text web browser (w3m) or something quick like Dillo. DDG doesn't show me a bunch of useless, click-bait info like Google does. Then, if I want to watch YouTube videos (use https://tonvid.com/ as frontend) or any other website with youtube-dl supported embeds (https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html), I can set w3m's external browser setting to "mpv -ytdl --vo=opengl,drm,caca --ao=pulse,alsa. Using the commas sets a priority order just in case one is not supported. Then, I set w3m's user-agent to mobile Safari. This forces most video and radio sites to switch to mobile friendly, Adobe-free, format like MP4, m3u, etc. If you do open a page and get a JS error, ignore it and press Shift+M to launch mpv anyway; youtube-dl will parse the URL for you. Using mpv as my player, I can stream videos to my computer in both GUI and TTY as long as I'm runlevel 3 or 5 and have keyboard controls, which vlc-nox does not in TTY. It's basically an easier to use fork of mplayer. Made a tutorial here: https://www.bitchute.com/video.... No ads, no JS tracking, and lightning speed. And yes, that also means getting your p0rñ fix without lea in the command-line.;)
Is an issue of perception; it has nothing to do with intelligence quotients or any other measurable tests. The "sapiophile" is losing ground and in times like these, people lean more towards ideology ("--ism") rather than objectivity. In other words, scientists are trying to be perceived in the same light as Confucius or Socrates and taking advantage of the grey areas of Multiple Intelligence Theory (Gardner) when wisdom is existential, even if ironically that means having to realize it's in the same class as logical fallacy.
Large companies always get a "former" executive to do an apology when they feel threatened or are about to do something even worse in their next step of entrepreneurship. It's closure for the subconscious and masses because that's how we all think now. Imagine all the people reading this article (or not reading) and going "you tell them," or "finally 'a' voice." Ergo, use one man as a representative just long enough to keep the masses at bay.
More like Google AI developer goldmine. "Pssstt...leave the backdoor open." But like everything wrong they do now, they'll burry it when their bots "just happen find some random guy" on a hate speech rant in the comments of a news article. Why do think the a lot of Slashdot comments start out so messed up and unrelated? It gives Google and other search engines a reason to make it harder to find since the comments are a part of the article. The bots can claim ignorance. That's why a lot of decentralized media use things like Disqus or still use good ol' "#join our IRC" for chatting.
Because of "everyone is special and unique" bullshit TV pedaled onto children grew up and evolved to a logical fallacy unquestionably bought by highly payed, moronic, business majored CEOs because of technical terms such as "DNA" and "phenotype." These guys don't exactly have to take many science classes in college if you catch my drift. So, an entire generation took that psychology with them into maturity and now, but not quite so literally, many think that because your DNA is different than mine, our smart phones can see those differences in our "We of the world, handholding, blah blah blah," faces. Large corporations make their money on the subconscious allusions of these type of idiots everyday. And where money fails, there's always some powerful, political, fear-mongering, asshole saying we need biometrics to prevent crime.
Like we need more facial recognition in the world... Just wait until people realize that devices like this involuntarily collect biometrics on everyone in things like group selfies and family photos. No fancy Facebook code required this time, just a new smart phone. It's not coincidence that Apple made a new video and image format. They'll have facial recognition exif data in key frames inside videos based on what it knows from your photos. Then, your YouTube and Facebook uploads get to collect that data.
So now they control and monitor all the traffic instead? I can switch ISP's, but if services all use the same VPN, I would still be screwed not matter what if they decided to collect data or they get hacked and someone else does it or if they get DDoSed or if there's malware to contend with. Those that stay informed need to stop compromising and thinking it's ok for non-technical people to pick the easier option just so they can go further down the third-party reliance rabbit hole. It's being done because it's a royal pain in the ass to explain the importance of taking more control of your computing experience and because of that neglect and profit minded article submissions, we are greatly paying for it. Plus, if you're already smart enough to take precautions, a VPN over a VPN might not work out so well. Netflix already prevents video playback if it detects you are using VPN.
"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear [name]. Happy birthday to you." Now let's pay royalties to the two old ladies? Oh yeah...never mind. XP If there ever was a reason to not enforce, this was definitely a good example. Ridiculous...
It evolves and now we all have a "kill switch." Good thing the average person is as dumb as a gullible box of rocks so we can blame it on the Mosquitos. Then maybe we can DEET everything again, knock down the bird and bat population to make it safer for drones. -_-
âoeFar out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Buy a "dumb" TV and a Raspberry Pi. Install Kodi and some emulators. Get rid of cable. And as far as 4K TVs go, a lot of people don't realize that with 50 inch, you have to sit 3 feet or closer to notice the details for 20/20 vision. If it's 1080p 50 inch, you can be 7 feet away. http://carltonbale.com/1080p-d.... Maybe it's the Hz's we're noticing? Watching 1930's Dracula on a 120Hz TV is just weird.
People think it's just to get you to buy Bluetooth products. But consider this, do you know any assholes that won't buy BT headphones or know the kind of people that could care less what they are broadcasting to people around them. It's a clever ploy to boost iTunes sales. It's also free advertising. Now we all have to hear commercials on Spotify and Pandora. I'll just stick with a terminal for music. Can't wait for the Librem 5. https://vid.me/m7oky

But how many of Chromebook's applications need the Internet to run? Too many to be called a desktop OS.

Oh I know. That's what the "never mind" part was for.

Shit...readers might notice something. Better distract them: "Appy app Trump leftist proletarian Luddites." *sigh of relief* Crises avoided.
