Wow. First post and you've already hijacked the thread into another systemd flame fest?

No, it's not. Semver mandates that the major version is bumped exactly when there are "incompatible API changes". This is a simplified (and les well-defined) version.

It worked well with do-not-track, right?

How exactly is systemd causing this problem? Neither you nor the author on the other thread give any sort of argument (which is the reason why he/she was accused of being a troll in the first place).

It's like a caliper, but used by non-native English speakers than me. :p Thanks for the correction, always welcome.

0.1 mm thinner than the competing models? Seriously? Is it even noticeable without a precision caliber?

At a past institution where I still have an e-mail address, they have recently moved their mail infrastructure to Gmail "business" services. The sysadmins now advise against using Thunderbird because it uses "outdated security practices" (my interpretation: it does not support two-factor authentication). Of course, Google is very happy with that (online client = yay more ads).

As many have said, this is a non-problem if you use encryption. A more actual problem is: who do you choose to give your METAdata? If you have Dropbox permanently running on your pc, encrypted or not, they get to know when you are logged on your PC and where you are. Similarly for your mail provider and your instant messaging/VOIP provider. Hell, your NTP server of choice could probably log your location by geolocating your IP address and fingerprinting your NTP request.

The real news is, someone is still using Google Plus.

I am not an engineer (nor a zombie for that matter) so excuse me if I am wrong, but aren't you essentially describing how an AC unit works?

Normal distributions make sense for real numbers. How are you converting "intelligence" to a real number? If you are using IQ, then it's not normal (it can't be, since it's bounded below by zero and a normal extends to infinity both ways).

Lobbying is the act of telling an official how to vote by making a convincing argument.. Bribery is paying money for a vote or action.

A convincing argument as in "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse"?

What worries me about radios is the lack of variety in the represented genres. I don't know about where you live, but here all stations seem copies of the same one, and they all broadcast the same kind of pop-ish music. The less popular genres have zero chances of making it out to the public. The cycle will never be broken if it goes like (people like and choose music based on radio broadcasts) -> (artists on radios get famous and popular) -> (radios choose music based on their perception of people's taste).

By the way, wtf is a "x86 laptop improvement"?
