Linux Mint isn't perfect, but at least it's not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don't want.

Good. Can every other company please do this too??

Reminds me of something they used to make us chant in elementary school assemblies when our principal took the stage.

"2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate? Dr. Thomas!"

I know this has nothing to do with my home computer, but this just further affirms my decision to switch to Linux earlier this year.

"After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information."

Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

Thank goodness for Linux.

Wait until they hear about cell phones.

Hilarious, and visionary!

The sad thing is that most people won't even give a damn.

I'm also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

Yeah, I'd say that this is definitely the way to go. My .mp3 player only has something like 8 gigs of storage, but it takes a MicroSD card. With a 1 tb card, I can carry all the music I want (and realistically, given that your collection is pretty small, you could get away with a whole lot less than that).

This is why I never bought a domain. Can't give up on your dreams if you never pursued them in the first place!

Good for them! Hopefully this leads to a stronger labor movement nationwide.
