.NET core collects telemetry. This isn't really any different than loads of other applications, but it's microsoft instead of google so booo hiss evil evil evil.

Another bit of gameboy hacking (the printer)

Perhaps people are sick of language policing.

Flyover country has nothing but contempt for coastal liberal elites. To the point where they make up bullshit about how much contempt we have for them and whine about being "flyover country".

At least we have the money.

Well they should pull themselves up by the bootstraps like good little republicans.

On my team of 8 people 1 grew up anywhere near the Seattle area. Half the team moved to the US from other countries. Maybe these people should move. It sucks, but life isn't fair and sometimes you have to sacrifice what you want for what you actually need.

I find it kind of ridiculous that the reasons why people supposedly hate silicon valley ("it's all run by old white guys") are pretty much the opposite of the reasons why I hear hate of silicon valley (virtue signally/wrongthink/over concerned with diversity).

They didn't beat anyone, they just flipped men to the minority.

Good for them I guess.

I blame the poor who continue to vote republican.

They deserve every hardship that gets them. Get screwed out of health care. Deserve it. Billionaires pocket tax breaks and then still get rid of jobs. Totally deserve it. Shitty schools for your kid, and you can't afford the nice private school even with the vouchers. I feel sorry for the kid, but the blame lies with the parents. Get fired for no reason and your union is gone. Well you wanted that right?

There is a lot of people who didn't choose this, and that is sad. The rest, they can shut up and enjoy the world they built.

> Russia released the DNC emails

Which were massively abused to spread FUD.

Quite frankly, seems like are chugging the kool-aid.

If the government is so trustworthy and so eager to please why do they need to take political prisoners at all?

because it's a defense of an authoritarian regime?

Oh look, top post about a story where China is taking pro-democracy political prisoners is defending China.

Why am I not surprised.

So you prefer to be able to absorb the endless stream of lies without any refutation?

So the alternative is google who do the same damn things.

The real problem is this is still webkit/blink and ultimately control still goes to google.

They can set the user agent to whatever they want.

> Plenty of fake news on both 4chan and CNN

Ridiculous false equivalency.

the outdated postal codes problem is because of idiocy like this

Except that debate is dishonest because if the republicans actually cared about voter security the obvious response to "minorities don't have access to ID" is "okay, lets fund a program to get everyone ID".

Of course the democrats fall for the trap every time, because using security as an excuse for taking away rights is almost as good as using child porn as an excuse for censorship and monitoring. People go "oh yeah, that sounds reasonable"

So don't give them one. Doesn't mean the government should have issues identifying people when needed (for government services, for example).

Maybe instead of complaining about how facebook and google have the made the area popular, you should take aim at the entrenched owners who refuse to allow higher density housing to actually relieve the pressure on the market.

My point was that you're anthropomorphizing the lawnmower when you say that oracle is evil.

No, this is unfair. THe oracle stance is based on what's best for Oracle, always. This is not immoral or evil, it is completely amoral.

They might occasionally be on the right side. It's just coincidence though.

Semantics.

It's calling a spade a spade.

How is that not just letting the rich buy citizenship?

Money and opportunity to work on interesting stuff.

I've been thinking about moving back.

That's just a green card.

It's far from citizenship.

Or we got hit by a big asteroid.

Americans love violence but sex and swearing is evil horrible stuff.

yeah, fuck those employees who don't want to pay truly absurd prices to living with in walking distance.
