Hasn't this already been addressed by US's new deal with the UN?

and I'm sure there are many who couldn't care less about the malware running on their windows machine as long as they can browse facebook. What's your point?

People were saying the Google Maps also does it.

So google also sends the contents of my clipboard to their servers when I use their app? Wonderful.

I do. If you moderate your site, you endorse its content and should be held responsible for it (i.e be treated like other publishers).

If your laws permit speech you don't like, either fix your laws or fix yourself.

umatrix can block third-party images as easily as it blocks cookies.

Yep! Kids learn by observing.

This is a natural consequence of the restrictive rules imposed on the rust community.

You're not considering foreign operations. If included, I bet the US would be at the forefront.

Sure, but you need a handful of units to evaluate them properly. Availability of units is a huge concern and (imo) the largest barrier to boader adoption of non-x86 servers; ie, no sane person would hedge their operations on a single server vendor that can't reliably supply compatible units when needed. At least, not willingly.

Not for me. old.reddit.com flies while the new ui is a stuttery broken mess that requires more clicks for the same actions.

I recently switched all my systems to another desktop environment because an app I needed to run was buggy under gnome and gnome developers in their infinite wisdom decided to remove the setting needed to fix it. Mind you, the setting had existed in gnome shell for years.

What gnome devs seemingly fail to realize is that gnome is only a means to an end (i.e. to run software). People /will/ switch to alternatives the moment that it fails to do it's job. The exact same thing applies to ubuntu.

If you're using desktop ubuntu, you're using snaps. Run `mount` to see which snaps ubunutu has mounted on your system.

Most people are not rejecting snaps as a concept but the way ubuntu decided to implement it (e.g. forced updates, closed back-end, stealth snapd/snap reinstalls, etc).

As a short term solution, you can use netguard and always have it run in lockdown mode. It works on most phones and doesn't require root. You can use it to whitelist app access to the internet (inc. blocking samsung and google play updates). It's also open source.

In the long term, just avoid samsung products that don't respect your authority as the owner.
