No dude this definitely happened, there’s no way it isn’t 100% true

Sorry I want a well-managed UNIX system with a nice GUI

Does OSX still have that bug where if you merge two folders of the same name it deletes everything in one of them?

American Kit Kats are made by the Hershey company and no money goes to Nestlé.

Explanation:
Kit Kat used to be a Rowntree’s product, and Hershey bought the right to make the candy in the U.S. in perpetuity back in 1970. When Nestlé bought Rowtree’s, they had to abide by the contract to license out the Kit Kat for no royalties, because the only condition of the agreement is that Hershey loses the license if the company ever gets sold. And since selling the Kit Kat bar is so valuable, buying Hershey for what it’s currently worth would mean instantly losing a large amount of Hershey’s value, so even when they’ve tried to find a buyer, nobody will buy the company—even Nestlé refused to buy Hershey in 2002.

The Android Open Source Project and all of its resources wouldn’t go anywhere, it would just lose its biggest parasite.

Don’t be sanctimonious about your choice in cell phone, it’s weird. Also, I’m typing this from a phone that has a headphone jack and a microSD slot

That’s a fallacious argument, opinion discarded

Evidently your high expectations came from being up high on a cross

I don’t expect people to make zero mistakes, I expect people to not be belligerent when they make mistakes

You need to calm down

I’m repeating liberal propaganda because I’m a CIA plant, Communism would be thriving if not for us. Happy now? Validated?

Pot, meet kettle.

If you look up, you’ll be able to see my point. You might need binoculars.

I’m bothered by the fact that you made a statement that’s not internally consistent and contradicts itself. Like whatever you like, but if you’re going to cite a reason, be accurate. Don’t be so dense.

His exact words:

Telemetry is important for desktop developers, you can negate it but it’s a fact

I’m going to assume you know what the subject and object of that sentence are. Here’s the thing about how language works on my planet: through the magic of a radical new concept called “context”, we can accurately discern both meaning and normative statements from what people say and how they phrase it. In other words, “It’s a fact that telemetry is important for desktop developers” is an ostensibly descriptive statement that also creates a normative statement in the same way that standing in the sun casts a shadow: it has to, it isn’t optional. It’s “Desktop developers who don’t use telemetry are ignoring something that it’s factual to say is important they not ignore”. Please tell me you get it now, and that you don’t need the rest spoonfed to you.

Is that really a fact? (No.) Wow, it’s crazy how every desktop program that doesn’t use telemetry isn’t any good, according to you.

I don’t like bloat on my hard drive

So you installed GNOME? This is not the checkmate you think it is.

Usage data is a crutch, effective developers can make good software with zero telemetry and did so for several decades.

Dear liberals, you claim you installed “minimal” Ubuntu, yet you use GNOME instead of XFCE. Curious.

It’s pretty funny how they’re trying to characterize a Linux distro as independence from Western tech. The closest we’ve gotten to that idea is TempleOS, not a Linux distro with spyware baked into it.
