    I'm fascinated by the fact that people believe those tapes existed in the first place (secretly), and then when people ask about them, they are "lost".

    People have become so incredibly needy of others approval and attention that some of us don't even function properly when being alone. This makes us incredibly week as well, totall…

    Because feminism is trying to change something that is hard-coded into our DNA. Basically make men look at women as if they were men, with no interest in how they look.

    It's a good idea but it's adding manual work for the user. I just block it all.

    This is not true when you are writing code you haven't tried before. It's true for html, Css, devops stuff. Or if you are trying to come up with an algorithm that is complex. Doing…

    It's the largest downside with the job. I like programming at home but can't do it in an open office. I switched to a job where I don't write complex code anymore. Now it's simpler…

    Call it Evasion OS. I think it's a cool name that has an "e" in it, and it's really about evading the massive data gathering going on.

    Someone felt I was wrong when calling Google creepy the other day. My mistake. Why would facial recognition connected with Google be creepy. It's... "convenient". So convenient....…

    I understand and welcome more alternatives to Lineage but what's wrong with their user interface? If you want to make a better Lineage, I think having built in default app stores l…

    I was using this but it didn't work well. They seem to have some performance issues when you search often, like 5 times in a minute and stuff like that.

    I think people with a Google phone should just implant a chip in their arm, reporting to Google. It's basically the same thing, and you can view your body information on a Google d…

    I guess it depends on how you view your phone. Is it your phone or is it Googles phone that they can update with whatever software and settings they want to. The same debate is aro…

    People who weren't there don't know, and this is why they don't care either. It's exactly the same with Google, they have become the Microsoft from before, being bad guys. Slowly p…

    Staying grounded in current physics is not a good idea. Humans are primitive and other civilizations capable of traveling the solar system is not. Its like if you would ask a human…

    I use it because the web becomes usable and fast again, and also because I don't want ad companies making money from my activity and privacy. When they pay me, they can get some of…

    I'm Sweden we are labeled as racists if we talk about it, so downvoting seems minor :)

    Oh. My. God. This story is written exactly like a script for a movie, designed to make the American reader feel patriotic to the country and hopefully decide to send more of their …

    The real answer is "because America". People in high places want to get rich, so they will make sure to lobby for laws and regulations so they can profit incredibly well from norma…

    We may not like it but yes, age matters for culture fit. I prefer people saying so instead of giving me bullshit reasons.

    50 year old programmer in the middle of an open office with 25 year olds bouncing balls around, playing loud music - bad culture fit. Foreign middle aged man who can't speak the la…
