I’m curious if you’re just misremembering or if there’s some particular reason you say that.

For me, building a machine is identical to writing code.

I can’t really see a difference.

These comments are all over the place. I can’t identify a coherent point.

Are there any, I don’t know, archives of what it used to be like to install linux? My first linux experience was Ubuntu maybe a decade so ago and it installed fine.

Why do you say “true customers”?

Is anyone under the impression that they are a customer of a service they don’t pay for?

People would readily identify as a “Twitter user” instead of a “Twitter customer”

You absolutely can, especially with something as multifaceted as a country.

They do and you can.

Do you mean in size?

Surely you don’t think changing size has much to do with what makes humans intelligent.

It’s not doublethink to say the programs should have been exposed and that Snowden was a traitor for exposing them in a manner that otherwise hurt our country.

He could have done things properly, instead he dumped thousands of files unrelated to illegal surveillance to the media.

If a competitor had perfect quotes I’d still use google. They’re too reliable at other things.
