You are an extremely naive person.

Sorry, no. You have drunk the Kool-Aid. Here's the reality: Amazon is joined to the hip with Google, along with all of the other fake companies that are really owned by intelligenc…

Have you noticed all of the cancer that's been going around lately, for example? 4 year olds catching leukemia, etc? Where do you think that comes from? Maybe we just haven't been …

Did you miss the "cannot work without internet" part? That is only one of several dealbreakers for me, for all of these Web 2.0 shitware tools. Only a fool connects his dev machine…

Sorry, the reason I moved to OpenBSD and Linux From Scratch was to avoid getting sucked into the dark gaping asshole of Lucifer. Microsoft shitware is not allowed on my system. Doe…

Interesting read! thanks for posting.

I had the same insight. If I'm having trouble bringing myself to do something, there is usually a good reason for it. Often it's because there is more thinking needed, or some othe…

If you understood that Google is owned and operated by intelligence agencies, and has been from the very beginning, you would be a lot less baffled by their "mysterious" behavior. …

You're right on the money. A major, growing world problem (that noone talks about, because they're too busy focusing on manufactured frauds like 'global warming') is depletion of s…

And what is the difference in productivity between using your custom built tools in your business workflow, vs just sitting there with your dick in your hand instead, unable to wor…

I agree, and I'm actively collecting specific examples you or others may have, of common dependencies in the *NIX ecosystem which you feel are better than the alternatives, and why…

But what real enhancements does Windows 10 provide, which couldn't have simply been done as patches to Windows 7, keeping the same main structure and layout and overall design, but…

To put a finer point on it, software today is absolute garbage. I've been screaming about this for decades. All of this bloated 'shitware' today is the result of it having been wri…

The US intelligence agencies own everybody and everything, including the large US internet companies, so of course they are helping each other out. Has nothing to do with Snowden t…

This article is of course a lie from beginning to end, but incredibly, people read such things and take them seriously as if there is any truth to it whatsoever. Notice all of the …

What it boils down to is honesty, or dishonesty. Have you ever heard the expression, "you can't cheat an honest man?" It's true, in that a truly honest man won't sign up for whatev…

Here's a nickel, kid. Buy a real computer.
