I have seen a few of those. Just highlight a relevant bit of text and search it on google. It's rare that a page will have exclusive information anymore.

That depends on how much of peer pressure/boycott there is from your local church congregation and extended to their members to not shop at "gay friendly" stores and buy at stores that refuse gays service. From what I've understood the most successful such peer pressure in the US has been to make mainstream outlets "family friendly". Despite there obviously being a big market for adult material, they've managed to force adult stores out of malls, keep mainstream cinemas showing adult-only movies, video game stores from selling adult only-titles and so on simply by refusing to shop in any business that would touch it with a ten foot pole. You don't think the same can happen to a cake shop? I do.

Given the amount of malware served up by ad networks these days, I'd have to say better than they have now. I haven't really considered the question any further since that determination was all I needed to enable ad-blocking.

Let's just say it'll be up to them to make the case to me that they are now free and clear of malware. Since I have no actual desire to consume their content, the burden of proof will be quite high.

But you feel entitled to tell people how they should act and whether they should grovel in front of your imaginary buddy?

That country is fucked up.

Nope, just that it makes them look for outlets. If legal, great, if not, well, hormones beat laws.

When their privacy is violated, it makes headlines.

When they violate ours, it's business as usual.

Of course leaving out the small detail that basically every managed Windows desktop uses AD and Windows admins either know it or they don't. If I search for tools to centralized manage Linux machines, I get dozens of alternatives in the top 50 hits. Like with everything else on Linux, there is no single standard.

Just, wow. This is not about some vast right-wing religious conspiracy or hatred for some group or groups.

This is about not being forced to advocate for a religious/ideological/political belief/position to which one is fundamentally opposed.

Consider, in the last court case the judge pretty much spelled the current regulatory changes as a winning move.

History suggests otherwise, especially in a market with significant barriers to entry.

What I find interesting is that an un-regulated market is indistinguishable from 100% regulatory capture. So those who oppose regulations are essentially proposing 100% regulatory capture in order to avoid regulatory capture.

To be fair, most of systemd has sounded like an April Fools joke to me. For that matter, most of freedesktop has read that way lately.

I swear the first time I glanced at your post I read it as 'media shites'. I may have been right the first time in light of the end of your sentence.

Let's start with has effective controls to prevent ever serving malware. Add in no history of serving malware.

Much like the food industry, I don't care how the grocery store avoids selling arsenic as flour, only that they do. If they claim that they can't, they shouldn't expect to sell much flour.
