If you'd had any sort of education that had stuck with you, then you might know what a dangling modifier is, and then you might know how to express yourself without ambiguity.
What started gamergate was an ex-boyfriend with the maturity level of a 12-year-old who couldn't deal with the fact he'd picked the wrong woman to have a committed relationship with, and who thereupon decided he needed to whine to the whole world about it in mind-numbing detail, seeking to ruin her name in public and naming every other name he possibly could. Including names of other lovers who'd not done him any wrong and maybe didn't even know he existed. That fact he claimed that he was doing it to "protect others" just served to add a veneer of disingenuity (if he didn't really believe his own claim to this effect) or attention-seeking (if he did).
Sexual matters between consenting adults are and should remain private. Adults do not air such matters in public.
I tend to think if it'd been the other way round, and she'd named a slew of his other and/or former lovers, she'd have been dismissed as a jilted ex-girlfriend who couldn't keep such matters private as they should have been kept, and that would have been the end of it.
This why news outlets sometimes issue updates, corrections, or even retractions--because it's not a perfect world, and the folks who work in the news media are no more omniscient than you are.
It doesn't even need to be an exclusive copyright. This worked out pretty well for MySQL. They made sure to get at least shared copyright for all contributed code so they could release and licence commercial versions.
It's an attempt to replace traditional carpooling/ridesharing with something Uber can skim off of. Inserting themselves as a middleman where none is needed.
The point I was trying to make is that I was apparently being mischaracterised as a spoilt rich kid who'd had everything handed to him on a silver platter, not that I'm some sort of superhero. I'm neither of those.
I've tried to pay back those who've helped me, but I've lost contact with most of them (easy to do after a decade or two, when you've wound up living on the other side of the world), and some of them are no longer around. So now I try to do the same for others.
And I've already admitted that one of the reasons--possibly THE reason--I ended up in the bad state I was in was due to my own mistakes. Quite a lot of them, actually, including doing some shit that was just plain wrong. Some of those things I think I've paid for by now, others maybe not. We'll see.
I'm sorry, am I a Google fanboi or a Google hater today? I keep getting categorised as one and then the other so often that I've grown confused.
Or is it that I'm an idiot because I think users should be treated with a bit of respect?
I can't tell any more.
I do know that where I work--as I said before--we don't consider how many or even IF there are any users of a particular feature or API before we drop it. We have a deprecation process for such things, and AFAICT we stick to it.
In at least one of those cases, Muslim friends had expressed concern that the new "convert" wasn't really a convert because he wasn't in his right mind. Pretty sure I saw this mentioned by the BBC.
Just last night, I was watching some videos taken while Yes were recording Going For The One where they took a break and passed around a joint. Those bits obviously should have been cut out, since nobody does that any more. Oh, wait...

So who was the target, and why?
The public should not be permitted to benefit from anybody's creativity unless they pay through the nose for it, forever. Screw culture.

I've played the game. As games go, it's not that great, in part because (SPOILER ALERT) it appears to be set up so that you can't win.
OTOH, it's a pretty realistic depiction of what it sometimes can be like to live with depression.

Bullshit. These guys need to read Black Like Me . And then try it out for themselves.
Actually, your way doesn't sound too bad. Might have to give it a try. Can't quite come at gizzards or hearts, though.

No way, José. Dipped in batter and deep-fried is the only way to go.
There was a book about this. It was called Protector.
You're obviously not a marketer. Bully for you. :)

I think causing harm to others who are doing you none is a definite sign of mental illness.
All religion is false religion. Doesn't alter what I said, though.
It's been said that no man is an island.

So they're just automatically ripping people off and this makes it all better?

Be sure to tell the Albigensians. I'm sure they'll be glad to know this.

....I invite you to compare the cost of health care in the US with that in just about any other developed country in the world.
You'll pardon me if I get my wading boots on before you continue.
