That's interesting because I've seen plenty of articles over the years stating that they get a ton of money via the search agreements - not to mention the people who donate code. Shouldn't they be self sustaining?

Comcast is not just an ISP but also a company that produces content - so they are probably extra motivated to stop content infringement.

It's a shame that SystemD, has this issue. Hopefully, once the fix is made, they can get back to the business of obfuscating the init process.

Agreed. I recently subscribed to Spotify and I love it.

Agreed. I commented on the similarity earlier but I don't think there will ever really be confusion.

When it saw it, I thought that perhaps they should change the configuration url from "about:" to "moz:". Also, the new logo reminded me of Curl.

The more I learn of Peter Thiel, the more I dislike him.

Yep - both him and Zuckerberg are awful people is you are about privacy.

Commercial surveillance is a problem, no doubt, but the problem isn't just Google - any held commercial data is susceptible to government snooping. Which is why people just blindly throwing their data into The Cloud annoys me.

Personally, aside from something passive like a zoo, I don't care for anything that relies on animal performance for entertainment. That includes dog racing, horse racing, and things like circuses and even Seaworld. I know many people

I worry that when the time comes - RISC-V will not see high acceptence because it is too expensive for the performance it provides. I hope that I am wrong because I would love to own a truly open computer.

I don't think I could do that work; even though I already have a low opinion of humanity. I'm glad you were able to find something you like better.
