that might be the "Court's job", but that doesn't mean they will be doing their job without extreme personal/political bias that allows them to bend the lens to their liking.

They are 100% reacting to people's wishes, even if CWuestefeld thinks they are not.

> Do you want privacy on your phone?

lol. There is no privacy on your phone if you have Google's spyware on it. So your point is complete bullshit.

Meh. He's not the only person on Earth pushing for a Mars mission.

> I can bet car manufactured will return to same-old same-old in no time.

I'd bet against you. Not sure if you noticed, but gasoline prices are skyrocketing. This isn't the first time this century and it definitely won't be the last time. EV will happen whether musk autopilots his way into a highway median or not.

> scapegot in one of the political fights and get "cancelled".

Maybe you shouldn't "cancel" your spellcheck.

> He's already said that he'd follow all local laws so it would be interesting to see if he can find the elusive path of maintaining free speech, following the law and not having Twitter being a toxic cesspool used mainly to shout down those not our your "side".

At least in the US, there is no law that says non-government things have to offer "free speech" to customers. Womp womp.

> This is after we had CORPORATE control of twitter (which they apparently applaud)

... they aren't aplauding it. They are offering suggestions now that twitter is under new ownership, since the previous owners were inept. It's likely that musk is equally inept (or worse.)

As someone why buys a lot of cycling parts online, there are many mom/pop bike shops with web storefronts, that are very reasonably priced and often include "free" shipping. Stop giving bezos your money, you have no excuse.

> I was blown away that Amazon would transfer me to a scammer

You shouldn't be. The amazon store's core business model is allowing scammers to sell garbage to unsuspecting buyers.

All of that 'telemetry' collection isn't free. OS choice definitely matters, some OS vendors will insist on default sevices and 'require' the ability to arbitarily enable more for you as they see fit over time.

You don't own your PC running windows, microsoft does.

The text of the bill hasn't been submitted yet, so we don't know what 'other purposes' is.

So in typical 'hacker' 'news' fashion, this has been upvoted based purely on title alone!

> unpopular opinion - I like daylight savings.

lol. the title is literally about making DST permanent. What's 'unpopular' about that?

They mean 'free' as in freedom, not 'free' as in beer. There's a (huge) difference.
