Only if I was desperate.

Can you give some examples that I unknowingly use and improves my life?

malvertising and misinformation

You pretty much described most ads. What is the difference?

I almost forgot the monthly “let’s make encryption illegal” from the EU.

Implementation is easy. It requires respect for human beings though.

In the USA.

Tim Berners-Lee, who is a well-known proponent of internet privacy

The guy that advocated for DRM in HTML? We should have stopped listening to him a long time ago, he’s not a god.

Trump is inclusive too, doesn’t mean he has to protect black people, right?

What do you mean “SYNTAX ERROR”?

2025 after the Fourth Coming of Jesus, which should be the year 5837 for us.

And what are they gonna do with all the meat grinders that they bought? They won’t give it for free to random families.

Torrenting in a café? Get Mullvad and stop complaining.

It happened to me and I refused in an internal email with a lot of people in CC (the CEO was included). I politely explained why it was very illegal and why I wouldn’t do it. They stopped asking me because “they knew that I knew that they knew.”

If it’s the same kind of company, you would say yes, the client would discover the lie, and your company would fire you in less than a few minutes. You usually don’t last long in that kind of environment.

That’s why you must negotiate or clarify what is being asked. Once it has been accepted, it is not ambiguous anymore as long as you respect it.

And NOT yet another front page written in ReactJS.

But it would need to be reliable with a syntax, like some kind of grammar.

AI will replace human beings by generating shitty JS games and solving leetcode problems. But still no concrete example on a real codebase that is not written in JS.

Why are they spending billions on this?

As a new convert to GrapheneOS, I can testify that it has everything you need: Aurora for privacy (Google store proxy), the real Play store if you want, Android Auto, and a lot of privacy features enabled by default. It’s restricted to the Pixels though which is the only issue.

A bit unrelated but anyway:

I could technically afford some of those but I chose to remove all my subscriptions to get a better life for my wife who can’t work. No more fitness apps, music streaming, movie streaming, computer clouds, big projects that have no reason to be there, or stuff where I depend on random companies.

It requires some adaptation but it works fine and I’m now in control which is better: replaced my old Mac (expensive but dying) with a mini-PC with Linux that cost me 150 Euros, replaced my dying iPhone with a cheap Android and a custom ROM, found free courses on YouTube instead of expensive subscriptions, and secured all my files to a few hard drives that I manually backup regularly.

Those subscriptions are small convenient things but it can cost a lot every month. I now have a good routine that’s only 10 minutes of checking some tasks every day, but I gained money thanks to that. And I’m in control of my own destiny which is good.

Last but not least, I’m playing the guitar again and reading books again (yeah, free activities), instead of wasting my time on stupid stuff.

Over-engineered. Too many moving parts. Refactor

Why would a manager give his opinion on code?
