Or it was just a fad when the scene was novel and it ran its course as fads and design elements do. This explanation doesn't require there to be an enemy to demonize but sometimes there just isn't, as much as we might want there t

Wikipedia used to be the tl;dr substitute for reading real sources, and now people are being trained to rely on a further level of summarization from that, this time with opacity and motivated by profit. Imagine telling the 2012 HN communit

What does "re-enabled" mean in this context? Does it mean you disable the app at the Android OS level and then later it becomes not disabled but still inactive? Or does it mean that this feature/app actually becomes your lock

It's opt-in, isn't that what we want for these things? I'll never have to use it. I don't get it but I wouldn't say it's creepy, I won't judge people who like different apps than I do.

There is so much more to filing taxes than earnings. Yes, if all I had was a W-2 this would be trivial. And if all you have is a W-2 you don't experience most of the complexity of filing as it stands now anyway.
