That's actually a smart strategy.
It's also a sociopathic one.
That it's SOP doesn't make it any less so, but rather an indictment against our capitalism-first culture.

You kind of need actual viable alternatives if you want to migrate off something.
It's called a private cloud, it's not rocket surgery, we were doing clustering with machines with only dozens of MHz clock speeds and less RAM than most modern embedded platforms back in the nineties.
This would be like installing Solitaire, and while you're playing it installs Excel in the background.
Even worse, it installs a special Excel that you can only access through Solitaire, but which still takes up all of the space of normal Excel.
I use Firefox with UBO and occasionally youtube gets mad for a day or two, then it works again. Yes, I've run updates manually.
I still recommend it as long as it works, though.
Sadly I can't recommend Firefox for mobile any more. It crashes on me every day, sometimes multiple times, when using javascript-heavy sites.
What's stopping Trump for being as evil as you claim and just destroying all Iran's infrastructure?
Why wont Iran negotiate?
You were so close. It's obvious you post as a coward because you're stupid.
Oh look it got mad I insulted its sock puppet
It is when they get it, but I'm not sure you understand the purpose of an archive
It would be useful if they were required to make any training data they didn't pay for publicly accessible...
But they aren't
Don't worry, I have no illusions about reaching him. This ain't my first rodeo where he's the bullshit
Except you can't trust that Google's browser isn't snitching anyway, so no, it's really just a way for Google to keep you using their service without having to process your tokens
When you install software, you can see how big it is, in some OSes/installers you are prompted if that's okay, if you want to enable/disable optional bits, etc. When you install Chrome, it's a certain size to get a web browser.
However, at some indeterminate point later, when you RUN Chrome, it downloads a chunk of data (that's not a browser) that's as big as (or bigger than) the initial browser install. It does this per user on a multi-user system. It does it with no prompting or notification. For a home user, this could be annoying (I discovered this right when it started last fall because it exploded my backups); for a corporate (or especially government) environment, this is unacceptable behavior.

It's the techbros who don't understand it, obviously. You agreed to install one thing, they took it as permission to install another thing. Conversely, they also offer to support you, then they release the same product under another name and tell you to go fuck yourself. That shit is fucked both coming and going and you're here to defend it.
"that military is stopping a nuclear armed terrorist state from setting the worlds trade rules."
No, it isn't. America has been setting those rules for decades, and if you don't like it, we will invade you. We are the only nation to ever nuke anyone. We are the terrorists.
Ok coward bot troll.
So we're back to blaming voters for everything. As if we really had a say in how things were going to run.
We do, but we don't get it until we swap the thoughts and prayers for torches and pitchforks. As long as we spend our time fighting over scraps while the billionaires feast, we will deserve the nothing we get.
Your mode of life will be changed to ASCII.
