Google’s business model also doesn’t really fit to what VPN customers are looking for. They hardly would implement a zero log policy, for example.

Even OJ without alcohol isn’t exactly healthy.

Ah, right Lion Philips was the founder’s gramps. Still wealthy though.

Do some people just have an opinion in mind and then look for any tiny evidence to support that?

I really hope you see the irony in that statement. Marx may not have been rich but a lawyer’s son at that time wasn’t exactly proletariat either.

Pendatry. Very widespread in tech.

Onfuscators probably use it though, so no spec ever will be able to get rid of this crap.

It’s really not a generational thing. Every generation has their nerds and they always are just a tiny minority.

The late Gen X/early millennials may have been an outlier because they were forced to learn to get anything working but also from those years most don’t care about tech.

OK, continue reading and you’ll find his uncle was the founder of Philipps electronics and his main sponsor. Anyway, someone already replied what I hinted at: the wealth of your family doesn’t define your political leaning.

He grew up rich and had a very distinguished pedigree. His life is a study in privilege

What does that prove? Karl Marx came from a wealthy family.

Apple does have a significant market share of 25-30% in Europe. Just because they avoided having to open iMessage (for now) because everyone in Europe uses WhatsApp, doesn’t mean other Apple services are safe from regulation.

But I’m with you - it’s more likely about (not so) privacy.

Nah, it makes sense. Apple really likes their proprietary walled garden, so the interoperability requirements trouble them deeply.

We have those, too. You can choose not to pay for them.

Phew! Peanut butter is safe.

BASIC. At least VB.

I always enjoy the weird questions most.

ham on pizza is sweet

What? Where? Ham isn’t supposed to be sweet.

Makes sense. That season is so bad, it’s basically comedy.

Debian 2.x (don’t remember exactly) was my first attempt. But I don’t actually count that because after annoying driver troubles (networking and mouse) and having to recompile the kernel multiple times I unfortunately lost interest.

Tried again with Debian 8 on my laptop and stuck with it until I moved 100% Linux just a couple of years ago thanks to Valve/Proton.

I know, right??

(I actually do enjoy the SW prequel memes themselves, just not the reminder those movies exist)
