I would like to point out that they are free to modify the source code before building the binary they distribute. Being open source does not mean protection from secretly stealing data.

With chrome it is obvious because the closed part is called chrome and the open is chromium. But it is certainly possible to not make "stealing" magic on top public.

Oh, yeah, account creation is indeed a very overlooked usecase! Great!

This reminds me of the spongebob episode where krabs was in hospital and, because of money, was moved out before the vending machine, then to the parking place, and finally kicked down the hill. Back then it was funny but being reminded of it by the real world feels very much... not good.

I am as confused as you are. So basically, they want an official document to proof that they are a US citizen while not being one?

They somehow got the message and actually implemented that it can *checks notes* open emails.

I had a teacher that taught both religion and chemistry. People who learned about that often made comments about it being weird. But he insisted that both topics are not exclusive to each other. It has been a long time since school but I think his reasoning (if that is the correct word) has been that one is philosophical and the other scientific which are separate worlds. You can't prove stuff in faith scientifically but neither has religion a place in the " real" world. And, to be completely honest, he was by far one of the best teachers I have ever had.

And I thought that "8" had something to do with "netes" because it somewhat resembles the pronunciation 🤦‍♂️

First time I read in windows update "we are commited to reduce co2 emissions" I was like "wtf".

My dad is one of them. Always says that stuff does not matter. I once asked him if he followed the instructions closely and said yes. I did not believe him and so asked every point in the list individually. For every every instruction he told me that he didn't do that.

This statement reminds me awfully of the Living World Season 4 Story in Guild Wars 2.

And yes, before people become angry about this comparison: I said "reminds me", not "the same as" or anything else.

Explanation (hard spoiler!):

This is currently happening to me and I hate it.

Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.

Windows: "While updating I found out that some weird thing was set as first boot priority. I fixed that by setting it to myself. You are welcome!"
