    > That's a cute loophole you thought up, but whatsapp's marketing is pretty unequivocal that they can't read your messages. If Facebook says it, then... Sorted!

    When you grow up to be an adult, you will understand that "objectivity"is a fiction. And an encyclopedia can absolutely do that and still present factual information based on actua…

    I wonder if something called "context" and the socio-economic direction might have something to do with it. "I think we gotta hand it to Apartheid because schools were very slightl…

    Ah yes, America. The place where you get beaten to death for being a fascist asshole. It is well known. Famously.

    No you can't. You also don't seem to understand "apologetics"?

    You could make smart inferences based on past and very frequent occurrences. Or you could just say "there is no way the thing that constantly happens over and over again has happen…

    Sorry but doubt. The whole "we have only received two emails" is a classic move of every company caught with their pants down. Considering Proton's history, they don't get the bene…

    Here is the thing: Dropbox has no business being anything other than a cloud storage solution. Stop trying to do everything, it's too difficult and too expensive. Find what you're …

    If "being a Chinese national" is an argument for "not trustworthy", I'm sorry but "being an American national" also becomes an argument for "not trustworthy". By about 400% more (a…

    The complaint is essentially that Gemini exists in the first place. Something that on one even needed.

    How do you fix a bug you can't reproduce? It's a genuine question because I'm puzzled here. A very small number of users have this bug (and tbf, it's a really bad bug), and are una…

    Two countries can be fascist at the same time. And it's not like the UK and the US aren't known for exchanging the worst of the worst with each other all the time.
