Thank you kind stranger!

edit: Wow, didn’t expect this to blow up!!!

The author hopes for a future version of Windows that offers more user control and less interference from Microsoft’s software-as-a-service products.

Currently there is zero incentive for Microsoft to do this, and only upside potential to keep doing what they’re doing.

You’d need thousands of companies to abandon their dependency on Windows, Office, and the entire Microsoft ecosystem for them to change course now.

Add it to the pile.

Nope, Windows will still not be my next PC. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again.

Too late. Linux is going from my hobby project to my primary OS by the time they stop providing Windows 10 updates, if not sooner.

Saying “you are product” just make people take it literally and think Facebook is wrapping people up and selling them whole package, organ and brain included, which is nonsense

You’re the only person I’ve ever seen who has taken this expression literally.

Would have been even better if it didn’t look like the one on the left was speaking. I like the idea of the reader deciding which one they’re more comfortable with and assuming they’re the one talking.

You do have to admit, from the theist pov, it is a bit disturbing that everything you can say about God is pretty much what you could say a 100 years ago. Everything we have learned hasn’t added to that body of knowledge. Why is that?

And take that logic one step further. How much has been discovered and learned in the last century that was previously attributable to God by theists because we didn’t understand it? Doesnt the shrinking list of cosmic unknowns imply a diminish role for a god in our “organized” existence?

I thought the phone was a knife, cause that would have also been reasonable.

From the article, the cop laments that telecoms are no longer handing over IP addresses when requested. Now police are being forced to obtain search warrants, like they would need to in order to tap your phone or read your mail. This seems like a consistent application of privacy law and a safeguard against law enforcement abuse of power. Seems like an absolute win to me.
