I think this happens because the default option is “recommended for new users”. So some not-new users believe that the other options are better for them.

That default options reads like this: “All files in one partition (recommended for new users)”

I also live in Madrid. Many years ago, wrote a bash script that downloaded the real time data for the bus stop nearest to home from the EMT website and read out loud the minutes for the next bus with festival. We had a keyboard next to the couch, many keys were shortcuts to execute commands like that one. So it was a matter of pushing a key and listening.

Many of those dialers were programs that offered access to porn. Had a friend that used one extensively for a month, until his parents received a fat invoice from the phone company!

They switched to another blockchain… that has the same exact name and is maintained by the same people. So in my opinion, Ethereum broke the “unmutable” promise after the DAO debacle. You could argue that as Ethereum Classic kept the original blockchain, the promise was kept. But even so, it was the spirit of that promise was broken, and ETC is not maintained by Ethereum. I lost trust on Ethereum because of that and never touched it again since 2016.
