Isn't that illegal?


Isn't what illegal and according to whose laws?
Isn't the law just a tool to enslave people?

Was Shrek tiny when he went through a valley?

I went through a valley once but was not tiny and was the valley not glad of that?
How can a valley be glad?

He's probably talking about the data leaks that are associated with Dash and the Amazon ads; basically, whatever you search for with it is sent over to whomever, Amazon in this case, but not necessarily only them.

For reference:
https://prism-break.org/en/categories/gnu-linux/#operating-systems - see the last comment, which is about Ubuntu
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks

Unless you have opted out, we will also send your keystrokes as a search term to productsearch.ubuntu.com and selected third parties so that we may complement your search results with online search results from such third parties including: Facebook, Twitter, BBC and Amazon. Canonical and these selected third parties will collect your search terms and use them to provide you with search results while using Ubuntu.

So, if you're not already using it, you might want to switch to the Debian based Mint and avoid the Ubuntu one.

Well its very easy to disable those searches:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/192269/how-can-i-remove-amazon-search-results-from-the-dash-or-disable-the-feature

The problem is, that is the only reported placed in which the data leaks happen; but no one knows if that is the only place where they happen. By using Ubuntu, or any other distro that is based on it, you basically have to trust them that no more information about you is being collected and sent elsewhere.

The prism-break page has a link to the discussion page in which they go into more detail about it: https://github.com/nylira/prism-break/issues/334
Exactly. And by using open standards (such as arch linux), you don't have to trust anyone.

It's quite funny how anyone can be "racist", when something like "races" don't even exist.

Even here in the UK, we had a surge in Measels because some idiot decided to make public (and unfounded) claims about links between the MMR vaccine and autism.

Stupidity is an entirely human trait.


The issue here is public losing trust in government and institution.


No, it's ignoring basic science, governments have nothing to do with it.
Without proper education, you have no idea how "basic science" works.

Historically I would say Genghis Kahn, he made some really good achievements and was a wise man of the time he lived in. 
In the present I would say the only non-puppet and only reasonable politician out there: Vladimir Putin - wants peace, is intelligent, isn't an insane dictator like obama

It depends, if we're talking about the real feminists, I would actually argue that pussy riot fall into that category, because all they were doing was fighting for free speech and basic rights like that which I can agree with

Either you don't know much about the Pussy Riot, or you are having some real issues with yourself.  Grin

You might classify the video (given below) as an example for the Pussy Riot fighting for free speech and basic rights, but most of the people would classify it as a sign of mental illness.

Witzig, wie die Sklaven in diesem Thema dem auf die Nerven gehen, der kein Sklave ist.
Der pejorative Gebrauch des Begriffs "Sklave" ist ebenso wenig angebracht wie der des Begriffs "Opfer", auch, wenn unsere Jugendkultur das teilweise anders sieht.
Bitte gewöhne dir diesen Sprachgebrauch ab.
Vielen Dank.
Die Wahrheit hat nichts mit Abwertung zutun.
Und dutzen lasse ich mich schon garnicht.

Democracy is a terrible basis for a system of government.

I go out to dinner with 3 of my friends. At the end of the meal, the bill comes. I say "let's split this equally", another says "no, let's just pay for our own", and another says "why doesn't 5flags just pay for it all?" We discuss it, and take a vote. All three of my friends vote that I should pay the whole bill.

Does this create a right? Do my friends have the right to have their dinners paid for? Does it create an obligation? Do I have an obligation to pay the bill?

Most people would answer "no" to both those questions. Majority will creates neither rights, nor obligations.

Ever seen a picture of three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner?
Good example. That's how fascism of the majority (also known as democracy) works.
