It's a GUI that works over SSH. There is a very valid use case for that.

How can that be true, when you're deliberately and repeatedly telling devs (the community you claim to listen to) that you know better than they do? They're telling you exactly what they want, and you're telling them, "Nah." That isn't listening. You understand that, right?

It's also incredibly racist, when you get down to it. Does a white person need to be able to trace their lineage to claim they are white, or any other race, for that matter?

When you talk to Cherokee people, most of them are very clear that if you are part of the Cherokee culture, you're Cherokee. Throughout history, they have 'adopted' people of other races into their tribes, and those people married and had children. If an adopted white man married and adopted white woman, their children would be considered full blood, regardless of their skin color. So from a Cherokee perspective (and I assume any tribes that behaved similarly) the measure of a Cherokee is whether they are a part of the Cherokee culture, rather than what their genealogy shows.

That's exactly what he says in the conclusion...

Conversely, I've had lots of PDAs through the years, and any notes I took on them were lost long ago.

Anyway, I agree with you. (There are two of us!) Apple's stuff is built to be easy enough for a know-nothing user to get the basics done, and depending on your skill, you gain access to more and more over time.

He also didn't say the camera on iPhones stays off when you're not using them. That must mean they're taking pictures of us and uploading them to Tim Cook's personal sex grotto for him to ogle us, right? I mean, he didn't say they DIDN'T do it, so...

That is to say... perhaps we could keep the paranoia and speculation to things that have a basis in reality?

I think the 'filtering mechanism' you speak of is vastly overrated, and I'm excited to see things like this happening. People should be hired based on ability and skill, not a piece of paper that they somehow acquired.

I've paid for it, personally, and I know others who do.

Yes, the ads are probably a larger portion of their income right now, but there's certainly an easy way to support them directly.

The 1% is for sites that advertise other things on the same site, which means they aren't using an ad service, but instead building their own advertising. The BBC is particularly good at this. When I'm reading an article, they have ads for other articles that I might be interested in. I've spent more time reading/watching articles and videos there than anywhere else. Of course, they could just be trying to keep me there so that I click their ads, but uBlock and Ghostery ensure that third-party ads don't display and I'm not tracked, so...

I don't have a problem with the larger phones, personally, but I think it's interesting to see how quickly the industry has come full-circle.

I mean, you said it's identical...

What would rock is if uBlock or Adblock had a subscription service for exactly this.

You can have your horrible purple/blue... I'll take people hijacking those abominations any day of the week.

Otherwise, that's a good list. :)

And what makes YOU the authority to say they haven't endured enough pain? Or society, for that matter? If a couple 'went through a rough patch' and 'already moved past this', the one who was wronged was apparently forgiving. That forgiveness should be the end of it. We all make stupid decisions in our lives, but just because we did those things, we don't DESERVE endless consequences.

Your logic is a slippery slope to believing that rehabilitation is impossible. In which case, you're essentially arguing for immediate death (or at least shunning) to any wrongdoer, because how can any of us judge them to be rehabilitated?
