I'm on Amazon.de and I literally ordered stuff seconds before posting the comment. They took the money and everything. The order is in my order history list.

You can. You just need to do the work to make it work. That's the bit where everyone but Netflix and Amazon fail.

I just ordered stuff from Amazon.de. And I highly any Amazon site can go down because of one region. Just like Netflix are rarely affected.

Extension developers are not forced to adhere to anything from Google to build compatible extensions that work on forks such as Brave. If they want to be in the Google ecosystem, sure, but as I pointed out, you can build your own ecosystem

I think Facebook just forking the language instead of helping with development gave them the kick up the ass to sort out the development process. Then it just came down to having no one actually working on the language, so they needed to cr

I only mentioned one program. A program that is literally comparable because it's literally what is being replaced. That program has been public knowledge in media such as TV shows and movies for decades. So when we're fear-monger

No, it didn't. It took decades for that to happen.

How about we compare it with something more realistic? Like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON . Since 1971, the 5 eyes countries have been spying on people en masse and scanning communications. You probably don&#x27

We outlaw homelessness because we don't want homeless people on the streets littering the place. The bad behaviours you want to be outlawed are in fact already outlawed. It's just super hard to catch and convict on those. While it

Why are you on your phone during meetings and not paying attention to the meeting? We ban phones/laptops for the specific reason of people attending and not paying attention.

No, they're not. And by saying that, you're proven why the "fight" will also result in the other side winning. Ignorant, pedantic, arrogant, and entitled technical people vs the rest.
