Indeed, it's quite rare to find someone who isn't concerned about their photos, messages, and other sensitive information potentially being leaked online. Good for you, though I don't believe it's representative. Even so, there are potential risks to consider. With the right information, someone could manipulate, blackmail, or coerce you without you even realizing it. Our brains are subject to numerous biases, making us susceptible to subtle manipulations. Knowing your traits and preferences allows one to tailor a persuasive message specifically to you. This strategy can be used to sell you anything, from a mobile phone to a politician. The implications of such tactics are significant, potentially affecting billions of people.

Ask them to unlock their phone and give it to you. Chances are, you'll quickly find out they have things they'd like to hide.

Thanks for sharing your feelings!

I love good stories. For me, the atmosphere and plot are vital. It feels like after work I just don't have enough time and mental capacity to put a lot of effort in a video game, therefore I avoid things like Minecraft or the whole survival genre, even though I used to enjoy that kind of stuff when I was a teenager.

Plot twist: that's the same person.

You know, every Linux distro has its own unique charm, and I love that about the Linux ecosystem. But there's something incredibly rewarding about being able to build your operating system, piece by piece, tailored to your needs, like fitting together pieces of a puzzle. And that's exactly what Arch lets you do!

Arch Linux comes with a 'bare minimum' base and allows you to add on top of that. It means no bloatware, no unwanted apps. It's like building your dream home, starting from the foundation, and adding only what you love and need. You are in full control, and there's no 'standard' package set that determines what your system should look like.๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Then comes the famed rolling release model, which means updates are continuous, and you never have to reinstall or jump through hoops to upgrade to the latest and greatest. It's like being on a river that's constantly moving, keeping you on the cutting edge of software development. โฉ

The package manager, Pacman, is another gem, making package management simple and efficient. And did I mention the AUR (Arch User Repository)? It's a treasure trove that contains pretty much every piece of software you could need, and if it's not there, you can package it yourself and share it with the community! ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ‘ฅ

I know, some people might say Arch can be demanding, especially for beginners. And yes, there's a learning curve, but isn't that true for anything worth doing? With the Arch Wiki by your side (it's nothing short of an encyclopedia, really! ๐Ÿ“š), the learning becomes a journey, an adventure!

In a nutshell, Arch Linux gives you freedom, full control, keeps you at the forefront of software releases, and offers you a vibrant community to learn from and contribute to. So, why not take the plunge and give it a try? It's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything else. ๐Ÿš€

I think it's similar to politics. Some people want to use privileges that the position provides for their own benefit, while others want to do good things and bring their ideas to life.

Google Reader. Never forget...

Why are they so desperate to be liked by users?

I think either games with Denuvo sell worse, or it's just the bad image that affects their ability to sell Denuvo to more publishers and developers.
