When you grow up to be an adult, you will understand that "objectivity"is a fiction. And an encyclopedia can absolutely do that and still present factual information based on actual research and facts. You know that…
Ah yes, America. The place where you get beaten to death for being a fascist asshole. It is well known. Famously.
You could make smart inferences based on past and very frequent occurrences. Or you could just say "there is no way the thing that constantly happens over and over again has happened once again, just no way". Staff cuts…
The only cloud storage that has a decent Linux client is Dropbox. Koofr is a decent cloud solution. Their client is horrendous across all platforms and lacks the most basic functionalities. You can argue OneDrive /…
Here is the thing: Dropbox has no business being anything other than a cloud storage solution. Stop trying to do everything, it's too difficult and too expensive. Find what you're great at, and just improve it little by…
If "being a Chinese national" is an argument for "not trustworthy", I'm sorry but "being an American national" also becomes an argument for "not trustworthy". By about 400% more (and I'm being nice).
What the OP of that comment and yourself have missed is that Google is not trustworthy enough to give it permission, which the user you're responding to pretty much suggested as a solution (Google should be trustworthy…
How do you fix a bug you can't reproduce?
> I do think AI could be a better language tutor than an average language teacher, but I don't think Duolingo's approach is very effective. No offense, I can tell you're neither a linguist nor a language teacher. This…
"You just re-enable it". What world do you people live in? You do realise that the amount of "fraud" being discovered barely registers as a rounding error, right? That there is no significant amount being "wasted" here,…
You do a lot of assuming for people who clearly have never dealt with that sort of things. Crazy how people will believe the weirdest customer service stories (and have no problem relating because we've all been in a…
Yeah, who's ever heard of an incomplete database or a database that barely holds together and has had to have weird adjustments done to it in order to avoid fucking up other bits of data? We can tell you've never…
You live on an island, see ads for kayaks and the first thing you went with was: "somebody is listening to all my conversations even though my phone battery wouldn't be able to handle a slightly long phone call"? That's…
I hate corporations as much as the next guy (probably more than the next guy) but the argument that "it wasn't proven they were doing it which proves they were doing it" is probably the worst one you could have come up…
Now you should read the details of Apple's Siri lawsuit.
> Please correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Recall is opt-in and keeps data on-device I read this and I think: are you the only person on Earth to never have used a Microsoft product?
"Unpopular opinion", sure, how brave of you. Simple: they sure love to talk a big game about responsibilities and taking responsibilities. Until it's time to actually do it. For the good of the company of course (if the…
> Jokes aside, how do you end up having more than 500 excess people than what you need? There never is an excess amount of workers (sure, there probably are 4-5 exceptions). What happens is that they need those…
> What nefarious purposes do you imagine the government has? Is matching suspected criminals against the crime database a nefarious purpose? This is just strange. Do you have no imagination whatsoever or have you never…
I'll bet everything I have they haven't destroyed the sample. Honest and sincere question: why would you even use their service in the first place?
Have you not paid attention to twitter since he bought it? The guy has been forcing his accounts and shit takes onto everyone's timelines. Accounts have mysteriously started following his account when they never…
That's how successful Telegram's PR has been. People believe - like you do - that it's end to end encrypted. It's not. The secret chats presumably are (if you trust Telegram). Secret chats are 1 to 1. So anything…
Yeah, and do you think France is going to arrest Durov on the Kremlin's request. Fun fact: the Russian government and high ranking officials are outraged by the arrest and are asking the Russian state to pressure France…
About the custody thing, he's an extremely high flight risk. If the French authorities are serious about his arrest and it's not just a dumb PR move, there is absolutely no chance he's going to be released. Not without…
Durov has been shilling his crypto scams while shitting on all those services you're talking about (well, at least Signal) claiming they don't do anything for privacy. Considering how he's tarnished Signal, there is…
