We’re now at the point where tech media has turned and will now have you believe Google should be questioned, is untrustworthy, and that their promise means nothing

This is worse than even the most insufferable apple fanboy.

Google! Untrustworthy!

God I can’t imagine why anyone would think that

these people want war with you, they mean to subjugate you, and if you do not bow they mean to kill you

good tbh, their metro kicks too much ass to have everyone driving around, their system has it's problems but not driving isn't one of them

that's an awful lot of crying for a government that definitely didn't order the assassination of a foreign citizen on foreign soil

This is revisionist, that sequence of events was what caused him to start to play footsie with the idea of buying Twitter, the SEC saying that’s a big no-no is what made him actually make the offer to buy it and then he was forced by a court to finish the deal after a long legal battle to not buy it

These schemes all have the same problem that reddit and Twitter have: they need me more than I need them. If your website or app or whatever won’t work if I’m not on the right device I won’t visit it, and that’s not a bad thing

Please read past the headline, there’s an important story here with through lines of corruption, cybersecurity, and complexities of living in a state like that

Boy if only the pentagon had a way to deal with rogue actors, I wonder what they’re in charge of

You should probably cache results so users aren’tspamming other instances

Same reason they do Nigerian prince scams still: it’s so ridiculous no one will believe it except the people you absolutely 100% can get a score off of, so you can send these to a million people easily and they self select into the “easy to scam” group and you only work that one. You automate the cheap part of the process (initiating the scam) while making the expensive part (chatting with the mark) more productive

Lol, I mean it really says something about gig economy when concepts such as "minimum wage" threaten to flat out kill their industry
