For me it's more about eating healthy than saving money.
Restaurants don't really care about your health, they care about their profit. They will use ingredients that taste good but aren't necessarily healthy, so that you will like it and visit frequently.
I was also getting spammed by Linkedin. I would constantly get emails saying that my friends are using it, so I should create a profile.
I contacted Linkedin and asked them to stop emailing me, they put my address in some kind blacklist (or whitelist?), and I haven't received anything since then:)
Of course the media would rather report that, as a drone flier, I could be spying on people, carrying high-explosives and trying to bring down airliners -- but then again we all know that what you read in the media is (these days) far from the truth.
I was a hotmail user long before Microsoft bought it, gmail didn't exist back then. I kept using hotmail even after MS bought it, I really didn't give it much tought.
Suddenly hotmail asked me to enter my cellphone number that they would verify with a message, and I could not log in without this verification.
That's how I lost years worth of emails and why I will never use Microsoft services again.
Despised by everyone? There is a well established community of Perl programmers out there.
Maybe despised by people that have to be forced into following good practices because they aren't able to do it on their own. Like Python forcing you to indent code, therefore making one-liners impossible.
I hate the UX too, in particular you can't use tab to switch between text inputs quickly. When using a tool in the same way repeatedly, this would save a lot of time. It used to work before but it was broken at some point. Now, the export vs save thing, doesn't bother me at all.
They both are interested in making a profit, the difference is how they will do it in different ways.
Car companies make their money selling cars, parts, machines to fix cars, etc. In the last few years they began with this ugly trend to lock down serviceability, similar to what Apple does with their products. You can't take your car to any random grease monkey, you have to take it to an approved mechanic, and of course the price will be 10 times more than it has to.
Tech companies are more inventive in how to squeeze money out of customers, and in fact, might make the buyer of their cars also a product.
It wouldn't surprise me if in the future a car made by Google would start suggesting "better" alternatives after you have put the address of a commercial place in the navigation system. Or if it started showing advertisements in the dashboard.
Google, the biggest company that benefits from the OSS community, whose motto is "don't be evil" were the ones that said "FUCK YOU" to us, after some time of allowing federation.
Of course, Facebook, another huge benefactor of OSS took advantage of the technology without ever even allowing federation, but that wasn't surprising at all, they pretend even less to not be evil.
Thankfully email already existed when these companies surged. If it was up to them, email just wouldn't work. In fact, it is already becoming increasingly difficult to run your own mail server (please, no Clinton jokes).

Why is this even here?

Right, those things never happen.
Or typing it on a cellphone
I heard that is the case in Korea, are you living there?

Am I the only one here that thinks that "non-hispanic white" is a bizarre classification?
Is a hispanic white a different race than non-hispanic white? Both have the same genetic background after all.
How are the genes from a white person that grew up in Montevideo Uruguay any different than the ones of a white person that grew up in Minnesota?
What do you mean exactly with "the possibility appears to exist"?
It looks good, but overpriced.

If you think that is bad, you have never seen the file dialog of Firefox and Thunderbird.

If by "Robot" you mean Vietnamese immigrant, then yes.

Because people don't have guns in Japan, it is a civilized society after all.
The alternative is to disallow posts without logging in, this is the lesser of two evils.
Lobbying is bribing, I don't understand how the whole country is content with this situation.
This system is a democracy of corporations, where votes are cast with money, and lots of it.
After all this time, why haven't you created an account?
Are you Italian or Greek?
And for computers they don't even have to do anything, since Intel already did the dirty work with their AMT technology.
Right, click the grid view, then click on "Load more" about 30 times.
And while they're at it, an officially supported Netflix addon for Kodi would be great too!
Let's be a bit more clear here:

If this is how you spell when making proposals to the higher-ups, it's no wonder they ignore your suggestions.

No wait.
Better ask:
