That's what virustotal.com is for!
So basically a search engine that is worse than Google and that I will have to pay for. Sign me right up!!
I don't understand how someone removing the contents they themselves posted goes against free speech?

There is nothing new about the question "why would someone buy cheap phones when they come with spyware". So someone asks a shit question and gets a shit answer.

Just creating a new user is annoying enough.

Permissions are also much more complex.

What the hell are schemas?

Mozilla is using the official blog of the Firefox browser to spam their VPN service through scaremongering.
Re:Remain Calm: The fox is still in the Firefox logo on Friday February 26, 2021 @06:11PM (#26280956)
Next time you consider donating, think of the cost of creating new logos for the sake of it + keeping someone on staff to write this drivel.

Locking them away might sound better, but remember the state has to pay for them until they die, which really sucks.

Because it takes a lot of effort, kernel developers will bitch that some of the code is there just to connect to blobs that aren't free, blah blah blah. cf the nvidia situation.

Well, then wait until you hear how much his ex wife got after divorcing... At least he chooses to give the money to his children or not—regarding his ex wife, he had no choice at all.

So, I never chat with businesses, and I live in the EU. This new privacy policy should not concern me much?
