Operation of our economy relies a lot on free or paid labor from old people, though. We can't isolate them and keep the economy running normally. How do you think poor people get child care so they can go to work, for one thing? I do t

Their core business model is inherently evil and they've repeatedly been caught committing more, optional evil on top of it. So yes, of course I hate them. Weird that you don't.

It's not funny because they're very different things, so it's not necessarily contradictory to hold both positions. [EDIT] Incidentally, the position you call out isn't even one position, but a bunch of positions on mult

You don't have to get a warrant to buy data. You don't have to get a warrant if a pro-life group buys an app then hands you access to the data.

What I think is under-appreciated is that this is going to harm a lot of non-abortion healthcare. I can personally vouch for the fact that hospitals in my red state were excessively timid about providing necessary or beneficial care that lo

NPR's extensive coverage of Trump voters after the '16 election came up with quite a few cases of heavily religion-oriented voters who were like "yeah, he's obviously a huge piece of shit, but I 'prayed on it'

It's entirely plausible that a miscarriage might draw police or bounty-hunter scrutiny. Even if this doesn't lead to a prosecution—which is not guaranteed , since inappropriate and poorly-motivated prosecutions take place all the

Would love to see your source that makes you confident these apps are secure against subpoena and/or simply buying access to the data and trawling through it.

Fixing it's probably as much cultural as legal. On the legal side, a full fix would probably involve moving away from common law, which is a tall order.

Users care a lot less about looks than designers and PMs (seem to) wish they did. They like consistent, reliable, fast operation. Especially those first two things. The things that make them most unhappy are: 1) programs that behave unpredi

I still class it as "bleeding edge". In another five years I doubt it'll be in a state that'd make me recommend it as the most sensible default. Maybe, maybe by the end of the decade.

There were popular audio daemons before PulseAudio took over, though. It's not like it entered a completely empty "market", if you will. Nobody was mad at the authors of those, even though in fact they did also suck. Nobody

OK so in some hypothetical sense it's fine, but in practice it's a pain in the ass to avoid. So let's go with I dislike systemd in practice .

So why's no-one mad at any other init or audio daemon authors? Poettering just had bad luck?

At work you may not have that choice, especially since all the most-used (so, best supported) distros are deep into systemd now, or if you have a distro that you otherwise like but that has switched to systemd. It's possible to prefer

OpenRC is the only Linux init I've used that I actually enjoyed using, not just could-tolerate.

Might be worth pondering what Poettering and Red Hat did that make people hate their work so much, and to make Poettering uniquely infamous in the open source world. No-one's upset with the creators of dozens of other init systems and

I don't think anyone would care (probably most of us here wouldn't even know his name) if these projects had been written and integrated such that it was trivial to avoid them in favor of alternatives. No-one who hated Upstart,
