But that's a low-tech solution. Why have a simple solution while you can have a complex one, which sucks as a bonus. Oh, and spies on you.

I observed none of these problems on the distro I use (Linux Mint) so far. I concede that Linux desktops can suck if you are unlucky. But that's the case for Windows as well (I use that daily at work). Every update something changes wh

If even Microsoft can't catch these, why should Mozilla be able to? I am admittedly not in the CI business for frontends but I'd imagine that the combinatorics vastly outnumbers the possibilities of any organization.

Test on exotic hardware, for example. Or exotic combinations of libraries in the OS which FF depends on.

I moved all home computers to Linux a while ago and family members do not complain more that they were with Windows. It's more a thing of habit, I believe, as many are grown up with Windows. Both have their quirks and I had a bunch of

I doubt that the situation in Germany is considerably better than in the US. The BND has explicitly being granted the right to snoop at DECIX indiscriminate of the origin. Various groups (eg. laywers) have tried to challenge this and where

Sweating uses the same physical principle as your refrigerator and for the same reason.

HP has this as well for the printers I have.

As far as I understood the OP is that it shouldn't be the default. If you worry for your government, you should use a VPN anyway (where possible which is the case for UK afaik).

With GDPR, you should have a wonderful tool to go after them.

Isn't that an n-gram search? I think postgres can do this.

>so by your standards even the police lab reports can’t be trusted. There's some evidence that this is the case. In Germany we had a very high profile case where the police used contaminated swabs for taking DNA samples. There'

My thought was: Either the person is present and represented or there be no trial. This must not depend on whether presence is hard to achieve. Revoking citizenship or at least leaving persons stateless is not allowed under UN-Charta afaik.

The right to a fair trial should not depend on whether it is practical.

In what way? I am writing this from a Linux desktop. Couldn't be happier. I have to use Windows at work, so it's fair to say I know the difference between the two.

That's not entirely true. Artificial sweeteners are suspect of (indirectly) causing diabetes, too. For mineral water, on the other hand...

I don't. But the more comes to light the less I am inclined to trust Boeing at all, at least with newer models.

I fully agree with your last two sentences. However, it has come to light that the FAA has handed over almost all oversight to Boeing. Therefore, I wouldn't trust the FAA being either willing or (after a decade of deregulation) even ca

How do you know they fixed all issues? Surely all issues will be fixed which the regulators can find. But I am sure there will be cover-up still. And more to it regulators have clearly demonstrated their incapability and unwillingness to f

Do you know any authorities using Windows 10 who handle personal data? Last I looked the BSI (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik) hasn't blessed Windows 10 as appropriate over battles with MS on telemetry.

It's not that hard. I required my kids to grow up with Libreoffice (and Openoffice before that). There where hassles but they where manageable. I made sure to explain why this restriction was in place. I also was willing to fight any b

In Germany, you are required to be registered where you live. The authority collecting this data (Einwohnermeldeamt) is allowed to reveal parts of this data (addresses) to requesting parties for a fee and under some restricting circumstance

Opening letters is a punishable crime, at least where I live. Collecting too much data: Ooops we're sorry. Facebook has breached on multiple occasions their deal with the FTC. Until now not much has come out of it. European data commis

It's completely unverifiable. For big companies I assume dishonesty until proven otherwise. Give me the keys to read the raw stream and we can talk.

There's no way of verifying that the data shown is identical to the data being sent back. For me Microsoft has become untrustworthy as an OS vendor, enough for me to even scrap my Windows7 installations.

Not for all models. The smaller ones (B737 or A320) can land fully fueled. For this reason they can't vent fuel for an emergency landing.
