A human can live their whole life without ever interacting with an Apple product by mistake. I'm not sure about that for android/google/adsense/maps/youtube. It takes a deliberate effort to avoid these guys and I'm still not completely free from it. Slightly easier but still a minefield with Microsoft and FB, especially in niche areas.

yeah, yeah, there are people of all kinds in these places, but know that if he attacks your institutions, he is not on your side. Governments have taken notice and are starting to act on it.

Fuck, it's always worse than you already knew. What a phoney.

Yea, it wouldn't be as bad as he thinks.

Ok, so now that's Japan, EU, UK and Brazil that hate elon's guts. He's gonna start to run out of democracies to fuck with, will he move on to dictators or is that friendly fire?

Yea! OSM is the Wikipedia of maps.

Looks like you feel stronger about this than I do, buddy. I'm not close enough to being a fan to reply to all that :D Yeah, I guess abortion is a moral grey area...I don't remember if that was in the book, but it would certainly have added some depth to it.

If you switched most people from google into DDG without telling, most would hardly notice, I venture. Mapping is different.

But you have to register beforehand, right? And use some form of ID or a Name+address combo that makes it impossible to impersonate you to hijack your vote.
