Wouldn't Trump being elected change that? You don't even make sense.

As a programmer and system admin, I've been using Google since its inception, too. I can't think of an instance that I've failed to find whatever I'm looking for in recent times. People say what you're saying a lot, so I don't doubt you. It just makes me wonder what it is you guys are searching for because I search for some extremely obscure stuff quite often with no issues. This is all to say, I have a fair share of qualms with Google, but the search engine itself isn't one of them.

Doesn't make much sense to me, the way you used it. An example of nepotism might be if you gave your drug dealer a job instead of other candidates just because he is your drug dealer. Doing drugs with employees isn't necessarily nepotism.

Despite autopilot's flaws, this is already true, if we are speaking statistically.

I'm not going to entertain your buffoonery.

Pretty cool. Nice job (Assuming you are the author) and thanks for sharing

I'll be editing the formatting of this a bit to see what works best for a few items. Sync on mobile and Firefox don't seem to be agreeing on how to render it.

I think when people say it is a smaller target for virii, they are talking about an actual virus such as ransomware, crypto miner, adware, trojans, etc. I have zero doubt these types of virii are more targeted on Windows platforms. Linux servers on the other hand are indeed going to be the largest target for exploits. The primary mechanism by which a Linux server is compromised is going to be via an exploit, not an actual virus. That's not to say they don't exist. I administer hundreds of Linux servers in several data centers. I don't believe I've ever come across an actual virus in the last decade or so, but do deal with exploit and brute force attempts nonstop. Perhaps this is a matter of semantics. I don't consider the tools and methods used to exploit systems as a virus.

I hear what you're saying and I'm not trying to promote Whatsapp, but want to note that backups do offer encryption. They did not use to and I believe it is off by default, however.

I've used it for years and somehow had no clue they even had sms support. Doesn't really matter to me because SMS is wildly unreliable for the location I'm at anyway. I'd rather use the actual app if still given the choice. I can understand the move to drop support for it, to be honest.

I can infer what you mean by "particular things", but I've never really heard of that amongst anyone I know. Many people think that of whatsapp, too.
