So they compromise everyone's privacy for nothing?

ulises314 | 5 years ago | on: Our Chrome Extension Is Safe
Just a couple of loose thoughts on this:
-The permissions that pushbullet needed originally where a bit overaching.
-We never knew which was the offending one.
-Reading the original article it crossed my mind that some of the permissions the extension asked could be used for marketing (I'm not implying that they were used for that), and maybe google just didn't wanted extension developers to have a cut on that.
-I really don't like how this marketplaces have made big companies gatekeepers for market share.

Google is always thinking on human prosperity, for a small subset of humans, of course.

This is great, I'm reading the heavily commented linux kernel source code and I was wondering how much can be done in the boot sector (other than call a more sophisticated boot loader) kudos!

Is kinda frightening that this doesn't get any more discussion here, because it means that the people that get the news here (developers, it staff or at least technical savvy users) aren't really concerned about the points he raises, even though they are very important in today's world.

This, everyone is complaining on how bad desktop OSes are now but even windows is great now, compared to mobile devices, desktop is heaven.
ulises314 | 6 years ago | on: Apple of 2019 is the Linux of 2000
Really? I run Raspbian, Windows and FreeBSD on my home on different machines for different purposes, and though all three have their weaknesses, they are much better than they were two decades ago.
ulises314 | 6 years ago | on: Apple of 2019 is the Linux of 2000
This looks a little unfair to 2000's Linux fanboys (which of course included me): The well maintained, comprehensive, tested list of software, mirrors and checksums that Debian had and inspired other distros to emulate were a godsend compared to downloading a code tar file and hunt dependencies manually (when not modifying code yourself), you were always free to use other channels, but other channels were just usually worst; all other points seem to have similar nuances, from a user point of view situation is similar but is actually a real problem out of scope of developers (Linux) vs. Apple just being jerks.

Not making a point, just stating that this method was how they got the golden state killer.

Is very sad to read through the comments and find only a bunch of excuses, you claim being rational people: there is a problem, the solution is clear as day, what are you going to do?

Quote a single paleontologist.

The only way consumers have to impact on production of a commodity is our purchasing habits, is not weak, vegans are causing havoc on the diary industry.

Yeah, survival is more important that you having comfort food.

As I was reading it I was thinking "is it even legal to have this many misconceptions about human history?"
