When have far right politicians in any country ever represented the views of that country?

Devil's advocate:
Have you guys ever considered that the information these companies are making off of you just isn't that valuable? Your phone number, email, house address, skin color, sexuality, height, gender, fashion, job, and friends are not secrets. Anybody can know these things about you. We're on the Internet and web-based companies want to interact with people, if you don't like that go to a different website. But you'll never have a privacy agnostic internet experience because PEOPLE KNOW THINGS ABOUT EACHOTHER. That's one of the things about being people.
I remember reading somewhere (years ago, too lazy to find a source) that Google might take in $30/year off of a single Google user. That's absolutely pennies, that's not worth anything. Google only works because of their scale, and I bet a tiny drop in user activity of like 10% would destroy them. Most tech companies are just trying to make up more things to base promises on for their investors, those companies have no real value, they're all basically theoretical. So who cares? Just use them while you need it and if they fizzle out then all the data they had on us is worthless if not gone and the opensource community will step up like it always does.
I pay for YouTube because I leave it on basically all day. It's worth the 14ish(I don't remember) a month. I just wish more of my pay would go to the creators.
Go. I love writing go, its so simple and predictable and the accessability of multithreading and being allowed to create as many "threads" as I want make me feel smart as fuck.
I thought this was NoStupidQuestions

Futurama styled arm brace smart phones. My phone is always with me and smart watches are kinda really lame. An arm brace with a touch screen I can pull off and use would be awesome.
Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one
Actually the vim emulator was what broke me. In reality VS code was extremely slow with basic key bindings. It will take a good 10 to 30 seconds to start up, and the worst of it all is that I couldn't open multiple windows, I had to jump between tabs.
GUI softwares try to make your life easier by being opinionated. The belief is that if you know how to use your VS code you can use any VS code. Which is fine if you agree with the opinions. The thing I learned when I tore out my entire Microsoft development stack is that I can have my own opinions about my workflow. And my opinions are faster and more intuitive than Microsoft's.
IMO pure bloat.
I used to use VSCode and thats how I learned vim bindings. One time I tried running a 20char macro 1000 times. Easy work right? VSCode took a solid 120secs to do the macro. Why? What the hell was so difficult about what I asked for. So I took afew hours out of my day and configured VIM to work like VSCode. VSCode is objectivly superior in every regard, VIM just runs faster and the difference is noticable.
I really love my apple track pad on my Manjaro setup. It's big and smooth and super comfortable. Nobody makes 3rd party USB track pads
To validate that a user is a person. The idea is to trust the phone companies that a person who happens to possess a phone number is actually a person.
