Master/slave in the context of IT has absolutely nothing to do with slavery, black people, etc. So yes, it is political.

Yes which is why this won't ever happen. It should just be illegal to wholly terminate an account. If someone is breaking ToS, ban them from doing the ToS breaking thing like posting or commenting. No reason to terminate the entire account.

Paraphrasing what I saw somewhere

> If I go to thing W, X, Y, and Z (where those are distinct elements with distinct fans), people within those cohorts will be indistinguishable but I will likely be the only person who has been to all 4. Therefore, you can easily identify individuals. FLoC is a crock of shit. At least you could block 3rd party cookies

Fatality is not everything. Plenty of people are walking around with permanent lung, heart, etc damage. Get your damn vaccines!

Well not caring about prices for one. I don't look at price tags for every day things, I just buy them. Healthcare is much easier as you get more access and can just pay for better doctors. For example, my psychiatrist is 700/hr compared to a shitty insurance accepting psych. Mental health on insurance in general is terrible.

Just in general, life is easy when you have money. Its not the case in other countries because they are more equal, so in that respect America is exceptional. Really sucks for everyone else though

America is definitely different from most countries I would not say exceptional though. They still have no healthcare for people who aren't rich, daily mass shootings, and the politicians are just plain corrupt (and retarded).

It is awesome if you are rich, which I am now, but man it sucked when I was poor.

I guess you don't understand that software updates contain.... software updates.

How surprising. You should probably read up on what changes come with the latest OS updates before being mad at Apple for... whatever reason.

"Hi, I'm extremely insecure with myself and need to validate my beliefs by trying to bait people on the internet. Since I don't personally know anyone who died from Covid that wasn't fat, obviously it is a hoax and won't affect me so I won't be getting a vaccine because I don't believe in science."

SAD!

This is a great idea and I would encourage EVERYONE to do this. Please try to push people to privacy respecting browsers like Safari or Firefox. The fewer people use chrome/chromium, and google products in general, the better.

Pycharm is fucking slow and it is really annoying to use different IDEs for different languages. vscode is better in every way, and free. I just don't understand why people use jetbrains anymore.

You need at least 2 yubikeys. Register both and keep one in a safe hidden place. You can also print out backup codes and keep them in a safe.

Privacy.com uses it, I used it. You really don't have much of a choice.

Someone makes a google-less build of chromium, so maintaining one fork would be the best option.

However, your best option is to just use a browser that actually cares about your privacy life safari

Forcing users to install steam for half life 2 was the best decision they have ever made

Valve seems to have like 6 developers that work there and since nobody seems to fucking manage the company (literally, this is how they operate) I am not surprised at all. How they managed to put together half life alyx at all is astonishing.

Microsoft doesn't own 95% of the ad market, pretty much the entire search market, the browser market (and thus web standards pretty much), and also email, storage, etc.

Google owns the internet.

But hey, you are right. Split MS up as well. All of these companies have gotten too damn big.
