ikr? they sound exactly like the hypocrites from the west.
Every youtube reviewer's goal is to be popular enough to be a paid shill. It's money they're after, not your praises.
And Apple marketing invests a lot in their image in internet discussions. There are lot of shills and a lot of sock-puppets that prop them up. Every marketing company does but go to any popular Apple posts on reddit, hackernews, or Twitter, they just have same pattern.
Why this isn't obvious is just idk.
Bro, there is no technical innovation outside of the West and exceptions were by-default stolen from the West. Where do you get your news from?

There wouldn't be so much anti-china propaganda, if the popular companies didn't do so much shit behind people's back to drown out the good things coming out of China.
I mean China is becoming a economic powerhouse, just make your companies not be backdoors until your influence and trust increase without competition. But nooooo, they have to do every worse thing other big tech companies do, but at a script-kiddie level.
By comparison Meta and Google merely take advantage of user ignorance and apathy by making opting out frustrating - but still technically doable.
This is simply just not true. Meta used an adversary-in-the-middle attack to decrypt Snapchat and other competitors traffic. Facebook, Apple, Twitter and Google have been intercepting traffic since before https/sandbox/anti-virus were the norm. Do you think they didn't do anything malicious?
Install any Google app on Windows and it will install a task schedule and a always online background service to "check for updates" and downloads and runs their executable without any user consent. I wonder why no body had a problem with that. hmmâŠ
Google runs it own operating system so they could technically do anything they so fucking please. You think Chinese Android variants are using exploits or just scooping data wholesale, because it can. But you think Google and Apple aren't?
It's showing your prejudice, bias and concern trolling more than anything.

what if the patient decides, for whatever reasons, they want to stop mid way?
ikr? they probably have an Internet PR task force on every base by now.
I seek more FLOSS/FOSS stuff where I can
Oh yes, the open source enthusiast that does fuck all but seek out the most competitive softwares for free and adds nothing but constant moaning and complaining.
You're doing open-source a great service.
Then prosecute him for that. But the US doesn't care about activists, does it? Why do you think US is after him specifically?
What about, what about, what about?
Post the actual proof rather than a link to a wikipedia article.
You do BETTER.
Regurtitating the same talking points your government uses for people that reveal its atrocities are "bots" no matter how you spin it. There are tankie bots and you are a wankie bot.
Tell us more about how revealing war crimes and global surveillance are traitors, bot.
Social media monitoring and marketing is a big business. There are tools that alert agencies to any critical posts for their brand/celebrity/product/keyword so they can defend or at the very least deflect any criticism with sock-puppet accounts. These accounts seem like normal individuals with lots of history but are either accounts sold to these agencies or home-grown to seem "organic".
Looking from outside people think karma and posts/comments count mean nothing but accounts with good standing, posts, comments has a big market in black hat marketing sites.
I don't feel compelled to argue an interpretation. The facts are well documented and their interpretations by experts available. What anyone chooses to do with these are of no real concern to me.
but then
It's weird how many people in this thread are vaguely debating the validity of the historical research into this question when one person has posted a link to a well cited article on this very very heavily studied subject.
Well cited article aren't proof of existenceof a man. Is spiderman real if enough people cite the comics? A group of influential people could gather and make their own circle of these myths and present it as a fact. And it isn't fucking new.

Religions and all their influence could force a lot of heavily studied subject to be skewed for their benefit. Hell, there were studies that were treated as standard making sugar and alcohol heavily beneficial for human beings. And we're talking about a person.
I'm just glad there are companies that are trying to optimize current tech rather than just piling over new hardware every damn year with forced planned obsolescence.
Though the claim is absurd, I think double the performance is NEAT.
Check if you have resistfingerprinting config turned on in about:config. It being on picks the light color scheme by default. Mull has this privacy feature on by default and while the extension detects there is a dark color scheme, the config forces light (bright) color scheme.
Why the change of heart at tha last sentence?
Be the change you want to see. Make some games worth playing and release it as a FOSS and prove it can be a commercial success as well. See how it goes.
Asking people to release their work for free while providing very little incentives other than your own benefit aren't going to convince people who need to put food on the table NOW, without relying on miniscule probability of popularity or success after pouring years of your time.

[Wikipedia] > > --- > On this day in 1943, the Zoot Suit Riots began when thousands of white American servicemen in California began indiscriminately attacking people (mostly Latinos) wearing Zoot Suits, which were seen as unpatriotic. The suits were ostensibly seen as unpatriotic due to wartime rations, although they were also racialized, with L.A. Councilman Norris Nelson stating "the zoot suit has become a badge of hoodlumism". > > The riots began on the night of June 3rd when ~12 sailors and a group of young Mexicans in zoot suits began fighting. The LAPD responded to the incident "seeking to clean up Main Street from what they viewed as the loathsome influence of pachuco gangs", according to historian Luis Alvarez. The police arrested the sailors and not the Mexicans. > > The next day, 200 sailors headed for East Los Angeles, a Mexican-American part of town, and attacked and stripped everyone they came across who were wearing zoot suits. Local press heralded the violence as cleaning up the town, and soon thousands of sailors joined the riot. Journalist Carey McWilliams described what happened like this: > > "Marching through the streets of downtown Los Angeles, a mob of several thousand soldiers, sailors, and civilians, proceeded to beat up every zoot suiter they could find. Pushing its way into the important motion picture theaters, the mob ordered the management to turn on the house lights and then ran up and down the aisles dragging Mexicans out of their seats. Streetcars were halted while Mexicans, and some Filipinos and Negroes, were jerked from their seats, pushed into the streets and beaten with a sadistic frenzy." > > The L.A. City Council approved a resolution criminalizing zoot suits, although the ordinance was not signed into law. The Navy and Marine Corps Staff prohibited sailors from traveling to L.A. in an effort to curb the violence, however they officially maintained that the men were acting in self-defense. > > --- > - Date: 1943-06-03 > - Learn More: en.wikipedia.org, libcom.org. > - Tags: #Riots. > - Source: www.apeoplescalendar.org
So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.
Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.
