Originally it was because suggested results were a waste of time and I had used linux in grad school. I liked being able to use my computer how I wanted. As I learned more and more the ethics became a strong enough motivator I got rid of gmail and stopped using google maps. I'm 100% degoogled now, and I never looked back. Sometimes I have friends or people at work who want to collaborate using google products. I tell them I take an ethical stance against it. I will never go back.
Microsoft used to have a division for testing windows on various hardware configurations. They stopped doing that when they could just put different versions of windows on people's computers and use telemetry to check the differences. This could be an artifact of that.
I agree with you personal. I meant more that people are irrational and if dad comes out back and the kid is soaked and crying, the kids most likely going to say idk she did this to me for no reason
I like that approach. But when the parent only has their kid's half of the story, it's understandable why they would be pissed. I think most of us would be. Why did they do that to my kid? I'd want answers amd I wouldn't be happy about it.
Does "more telemetries" mean "worse"? What if the least telemetry (greater than zero) had the Omega Mother of All Telemetries which crams everything the others do times 47 + 3 into one?
You can't say you use Arch unless you use Arch. Also, you are also saying it all wrong. It's "I use Arch, BTW" not "BTW, I use Arch". You would know that if you used Arch. Have I mentioned I use Arch, BTW?
What does "divesting chrome" mean in practice? You have chromium, which is open source, and the google "hat" it wears to make chrome. So google's gotta give the hat to someone else?
Say your expert's name is Kayla. Start by just saying "Kayla". Pause about half a second until she makes full eye contact, until she acknowledges you. Then ask your question. By doing this, it focuses the conversation on you and Kayla. If Paul interupts you can politely say "hold on Paul, I want to hear what Kayla has to say". It's not impolite because you "set up the rules" for the question when you started.
Yes-ish. Work on at all, yes. Have full cross compatibility? Absolutely not. There are so many things that won't retain formatting or features which plain don't exist. For me, impress vs. powerpoint is a complete no go. I have to use office for work, so I just use powerpoint in a vm when I need it. And good luck ever working on anything with someone else. Office is an ever moving target. I sincerely, and unfortunately, doubt there will ever be a FOSS drop in replacement.
I'm just imagining a swarm of mosquitos
