Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.
The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.
As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.
It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.
The graphs if you’re talking about the economy as a whole.
That’s some catch, that catch 22.
He (Linus Torvalds) made Linux as a hobby during his time in college/university to teach him about operating system design. Because it was the part of the operating system called the kernel that the GNU project didn’t have yet (more on this in a moment), it became very popular. Richard Stallman created the GNU project because he believed that every person should have the right to study and share the software that runs on their computer.
There is nothing specifically anti-corporate in either of their motivations.
Squatters’ rights doesn’t really exist in the US like it does in Europe/the UK.
the only viable alternative, for 99% of the population, is Apple
This is largely because Windows and MacOS come preinstalled and that’s how the vast majority of people interact with operating systems. If you had to choose your OS, I’m sure there’d be more choice in the market. Not necessarily Linux, but just more choice in general.
I’ve been using some Linux flavor for about 15 years. The biggest thing about switching (at least back then) was I knew how to configure Windows just to my liking. With Linux it was a lot more difficult because I had to google everything. Like “how do I change the wallpaper?” How do I get the login screen to appear on the correct monitor, etc. It was just frustrating because I knew how to do this in Windows, but I felt like a major noob again with Linux.
It works on 2 different levels for me.
The “undermine the security, safety, and privacy of Oregonians by forcing device manufacturers to allow the use of parts of unknown origin in consumer devices” line is the same reasoning used by AT&T back in the old days as to why you couldn’t buy your own phone or use a dial-up modem.
Apparently some people have not heard about the bird.
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think he’d make a good James Bond.

He’s a billionaire the same way I’m a $10k-naire if I get a $10k cash advance from my credit card and put it in the bank.
Oh that’s my birthday. What a good present to have if Letitia James starts selling his shit then.
We insist because “the monthly payment” is directly proportional to the purchase price of the home. You’re the one who seems to think the monthly payment is somehow completely independent of the price.
The bank does not own her house. She owns her house. The bank holds a lien on it. Holding a lien on something is not the same as owning it.
There’s not much of a difference when the size of the purchase determines “the maths” of the monthly payment.
Most people have already pointed it out, but I must say, I don’t recall the last time I ordered pizza and didn’t use a coupon.
