Sure, boomers might not think about using an app to order fast food, but I would think anyone who cares about privacy also avoids restaurant apps.

IMO it's not the "switch to Linux" sentiment itself that's so tedious, it's that it's just so damn oversaturated. It's like that guy who posted "if buying isn't ownership then piracy isn't stealing" like 20 times in one thread the other day. I 100% agree but OMG we get it, kindly stop saying the same damn thing over and over. It's just annoying that every post even mentioning Microsoft or Google devolves into a sea of privacy complaints and FOSS evangelizing to the point it's difficult to have any real conversations.

I have nothing to really add but I just want to say fuck Ajit Pai... Oooooo that felt good.
There is a disturbing amount of "but mah data" pearl clutching by a lot of very ignorant people in this thread.
Came in to say Elite as well. Unfortunately I personally find the gameplay to be way too grindy and uninteresting to "progress". But in a way progress is somewhat irrelevant in Elite. I found a carrier hosting a tour of the galaxy and had an amazing time in my crappy little ship just looking at things. Few games do scale better then Elite.
Heh, I just remove fortune | cowsay from my login script a few weeks ago. Now I want to add it back.
