Yes. Two other candidates were illegally prevented from participating. And there were more fake news campaigns in brazil, where whatsapp is the de facto communication medium, than USA during the election. "Lula’s criminal conviction on

Favelas are neighborhoods where lots and lots of families live their everyday life. It has crime just like any other place (e.g. a Phd in UCLA mapped gangs in LA, santa monica and Beverly hills had the most count of gangs and members) but t

I loved purism. Got their laptops. But the OS and most software (and i am sure this social network too) is a fly-by-night operation. At best! The laptops too, in a way. They are nice but for the price should have been nicer (e.g. no USB C c

Blackberry android phones have a feature where it notifies you when any app accessed some resource that requires OS level permissions, such as contacts, gps, etc. Whatsapp and other facebook apps, access my contact list every 3 minutes.

Download (and check the hash, like any other application) a static one page "app" that you can open anywhere later and use to communicate/post information from any network you happen to be at?

You very wrong on the assumptions. The person with the rubber stamp issues you the I-94 in the USA. That is the ultimate say on how long you are allowed to stay. The visa is only one of the many things they consider.

And perl solved that perfectly: just let the OS/distro solve the 100s of packages. And it have been solved, despite you claiming otherwise on your last paragraph. When did you have to use cpan in a modern system? Compare that to how ma
