> Also wild how this post is singling out Safari when Android seems to somehow be even worse
My guess is that it is selection bias. Older people are probably more like to use iOS devices, since they are marketed as being simple to use and maintain. So, they don't hear too many complaints about Chrome on Android, even though it's worse.
Edge shares literally every single website you visit with Microsoft, even in InPrivate (= Incognito) mode. [1] The worst part is that you have to disable a genuine security feature (i.e., SmartScreen) to prevent this. No other browser makes you choose between security and privacy in this manner. Even Chrome attempts to protect your privacy by doing hash prefix computations for their Safe Browsing feature.
Also, at least Chrome lets you set a custom encryption passphrase. Microsoft managed to import every other feature from Chrome, except this one, apparently.
Microsoft has somehow done the impossible and beat Google in its own game. Edge is a complete privacy nightmare, only rivaled by the likes of Opera and Yandex browsers. If Chrome is the fire, Edge is a nuclear reactor in meltdown.
This fully coincides with my experience. Every once in a while, I hear about how much DDG has improved and how its results are now better than Google. I switch to DDG for a few days, get fed up with the (low) quality of the results, eventually start adding !g to all my queries because I _anticipate_ the results to be terrible, and at some point, I switch back to Google. Every single time I try DDG, this happens. Without exception.
I know not everyone shares my viewpoint but I wish people on reddit and HN would stop hyping up DDG. It will likely never be real competitor to Google. I don't mean to blame them in any way. Even Microsoft, with all their might, still fails to match Google's capabilities.
> BSD peoples like the BSD2/MIT/ISC/FreeBSD-License, but have no problem too import the CDDL the Apache or the GPLx (at least in the pkg), whatever works.
If by "BSD peoples" you mean the FreeBSD/NetBSD community, then yes. But OpenBSD devs deem CDDL to be unacceptable:
Turkey has spent more than $30 billion on refugees and was already host to 2 million refugees in 2015 (i.e. before the deal) [1]. So, no, that deal hasn't brought any meaningful change.
Japan is not really doing OK. They are literally going extinct, have an awful and destructive work culture and have a ton of problems with sexism, to the point where it is necessary to have gender-segregated train carriages to stop groping. The only reason Japan seems to be doing OK is because their news are mostly inaccessible to the rest of the world.
Has immigration raised the birth-rate of the native population in other countries? I can find no examples of that anywhere in the modern-day West.
Besides, there are significantly more Japanese people now than at any other time in history, the last decade being the sole exception [1,2]. They have a long way to go before having to worry of extinction, and the environment will be very grateful in the mean-time.
