People have become so incredibly needy of others approval and attention that some of us don't even function properly when being alone.

This makes us incredibly week as well, totally dependent on others to feel good.

It's a good idea but it's adding manual work for the user.

I just block it all.

This is not true when you are writing code you haven't tried before. It's true for html, Css, devops stuff.

Or if you are trying to come up with an algorithm that is complex. Doing that in open office is impossible for me.

It's the largest downside with the job. I like programming at home but can't do it in an open office.

I switched to a job where I don't write complex code anymore. Now it's simpler, devops style things that can be done in noisy environments.

Call it Evasion OS. I think it's a cool name that has an "e" in it, and it's really about evading the massive data gathering going on.

Someone felt I was wrong when calling Google creepy the other day.

My mistake. Why would facial recognition connected with Google be creepy. It's... "convenient". So convenient....to have Google help you provide that feature... Yeah.

Google. Not creepy. Sane.

I understand and welcome more alternatives to Lineage but what's wrong with their user interface?

If you want to make a better Lineage, I think having built in default app stores like Apkpure, encrypted system proxies, isolating apps from each other in better ways... Aren't those more worthy privacy oriented things to work on?

I was using this but it didn't work well. They seem to have some performance issues when you search often, like 5 times in a minute and stuff like that.

Same here. No issues, works great.

I think people with a Google phone should just implant a chip in their arm, reporting to Google. It's basically the same thing, and you can view your body information on a Google dashboard and get Google advice on health care, along with a Google map to get there.

I guess it depends on how you view your phone. Is it your phone or is it Googles phone that they can update with whatever software and settings they want to.

The same debate is around Windows 10. Some people are fine with Microsoft getting a stream of privacy data from them. Others feel it's their device, not Microsofts.

People who weren't there don't know, and this is why they don't care either.

It's exactly the same with Google, they have become the Microsoft from before, being bad guys.

Slowly people are seeing it but they are not going to help by switching browsers it seems, so we are doomed to repeat this.

Staying grounded in current physics is not a good idea. Humans are primitive and other civilizations capable of traveling the solar system is not.

Its like if you would ask a human 500 years ago how he think aliens would travel. He would say something likely in that age according to his understanding. We are exactly the same.
