Well, as a mason snob, I can only say it's called "written in stone" for a reason. Want your texts to last? Ask our Guild for a quote!

Fuck you, cunt!
You can easily opt into a program like that. Which would be a boon for those that _want_ it. And the right way to go about it.
Instead, we're often asked to opt-out instead, through jumping through fairly fucking obscure hoops, and that's not OK.
As long as they can stop providing updates for it, or just outright brick it if it pleases them, is it really ever yours?
While you may own the hardware, you have little control over the software.
While I'm not entirely in disagreement with your statement, believing a jpeg that has been copied enough times for it to be neigh impossible to read over accredited sources is the real problem. In other words, which sources people rely on.
FB as such isn't a source as much as it is an humanly fed aggregator, with fairly fucking stupid algorithms trying to make sense out of stupid peoples postings. I mean, what could possibly go right?
Another factor that clearly contributes is how we use data to further cement those types of news. Newsdesks are very media savvy, and use their engagement data to adapt the output to "what most people read", and not what is actually happening in the world. "News" aren't as much news anymore, as it is clickbait. Very doom and gloom clickbait.
I do not want just one basket for my eggs! And your basket sucks facebook, and you should be ashamed of yourself!

This didn't age well.
Oh, nevermind, you just posted it.
Heck, even move an icon in a deployed image, and users will shit themselves.
No no, for what it was, it was good for its time. Sure, everything beneath was a mess, but the Win95 GUI wasn't horrible.
In space, no one can hear you whistle suspiciously.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
We had one of our socialist (literally) millionaires pay extra in taxes because he felt he wasn't taxed high enough.
The right wing / capitalists deemed that as a "PR stunt".
So if you live by your own creed, you're only trying to impress. Gotcha
According to Valve, there are no users still on Vista. Either that, or so insignificant, they didn't even bother to report.
