Appears as a lowercase o with a tilde over it to me. Why can't they just use a regular uppercase X and be done with it?

Eh, it's the "I don't want to see this" thing which makes the bar go away, but eventually they turn it back on requiring you to once again tell them you don't want to see it. IMO it should simply stay gone unless/until I go manually enable it.

Never re-enable them after I specifically turn them off in my feed. Pretty simple, eh?

Interesting that instead of responding to their points, you move to attack the person. Makes it seem like maybe your points are weak and you have nothing left.

FWIW, I started using Graphene a while back and have found it largely perfectly usable as well. Nothing they said is wrong, nearly everything I could use on an "accepted" android version works. Banking apps, games that used play protect (and whatever Google uses now) still work. Wallet works though cries about the OS but I don't use NFC, so for me, it doesn't matter. If it matters for others, then I guess Graphene isn't for them. You know, choice. Imagine that. Graphene isn't a super easy to use walled garden like Samsung and others try to build, so it may not be palatable for the masses, but that can change over time too. Maybe whatever the FSF comes up with in their Librephone thing will manage it. Definitely interested in seeing how that works out because we need more choices that don't give root level access to paying corporations and refuse to let people do things on/with their phone that they own and should be able to do.

Links to MSN. *headscratch*

So what? The .gov shouldn't be a shareholder of anything.

Is this the new idiot trend like eWhatever and iWhatever were in the early 2000's? Everything is going to be "vibe" this and "vibe" that?

"They have lots of competition already."

It's not real competition. These "providers" are just middlemen reselling electricity at a heavy markup. They don't do any work or maintenance on the lines or generate any electricity. All these "providers" do is buy low, and sell high. Even when you get a "cheap" plan, you're overpaying for the electricity. Fitting that Enron, who did exactly this in California, is going to show up in Texas, which is doing the same "deregulated" schtick that caused so many problems for Californians.

Has acknowledged what all of us have known for decades.

Cool. Can we sue them for all the lies they've peddled all this time?

This was my take. Like, I get some rules for attire, like no crotchless or excessively tight pants, no super low cut/revealing tops, basically no wearing things that legitimately could be used for advantage by providing a distraction. Players shouldn't have to worry about anything except the game in front of them. Wearing jeans doesn't hit on that so it shouldn't be a problem.

I feel like this is intentionally written as a soft hit-piece. I don't know anyone who has said UBI is a "silver bullet" that will magically solve everything. All that is said is that nearly all of the times it has been tested, it has greatly helped the people who received it, and that is the point.

Work on addressing the underlying causes/issues? Nah, too expensive and takes too long. We'd rather keep applying lipstick to a pig.

In the meantime, VPN/proxy use will surge a bit, and the youth this is supposed to stop will just lie about their age, etc. to get on anyway.

of their existing HTPC cases. Kinda cool I guess.

I mean, sure I s'pose some folks were naive enough, but a lot of people I knew along with myself knew damn well from the wording of the ToS that they were using the data for stuff. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

They managed to hack it, nabbed the data, then handed it to the owner of HIBP. Is this to make some kind of a point about security? Or maybe to goad people into donating more so they can update/fix infrastructure or something?
