So did your deflock day, unearned arrogance, and potty mouth make things better? Oh, it didn’t? Who could have possibly predicted that?

Nothing, of course. We are going to continue to be tracked and spied upon regardless. Anyone with a phone in their pocket is already being spied upon 24/7. So-called smart devices and security cameras have also been recording us for years. Even our TV sets are now recording audio.

But having a rallying cry is enough for some people who want to rage and break things to not feel as bad about committing crimes. Anything to avoid that cognitive dissonance. Same group of criminal losers that have been calling for political assassinations and that riot and destroy people’s property and businesses. There’s always an excuse, but they just want to kill and steal. Not actually to solve anything, just to satisfy themselves.

We might stop the surveillance state somehow, but not by following childish suggestions like OP’s that are nothing but pretext.

Depends on what you’re trying to defend against. If it’s against a burglar, full disk encryption is plenty, and you can go ahead and save those passwords in the browser and it doesn’t matter at all. If it’s against your own government you’re probably screwed no matter what you do, just a matter of how long it takes them to notice you. Eventually you’ll get tired of being in jail and will cough up what they want to know.

Oh, that’s not good.

How’s the Android app for it?

I just assumed that they were on his desk and would be related to some kind of grocery prices discussion.

AI has allowed many people a 0-day workweek already.

Oh, you mean like this? haha! https://youtube.com/watch?v=FklUAoZ6KxY

Although, surprisingly, he did mention those as exceptions.

I think it probably depends on the city and maybe even the intersection. Here, when they’re working (not a given) you get a walk signal (whereas if you don’t push the button it stays a solid do not cross hand). Additionally, the length of the green light is potentially extended to allow enough time for pedestrians to cross.

There’s even one intersection here on a road with designated and flimsy bollard separated bike route where I can be approaching on my bike in the bike lane and it notices me and turns the light green for me which is super cool.

The perfect microwave would have +30s, +10s, +5s, +1m, +5m, and a stop/clear button. Nothing else really needed. No clock, no power levels, no food buttons. Oh, and no cooldown at the end.

Yep, that’s definitely the thought process the question-asker intended. I’m sidestepping that slightly: if an answer is chosen completely at random then one should be able to completely ignore the text of the question and answer, and roll a four-sided die, leading to 25%. I agree that strategy assumes that there’s a single correct answer. And the typical expectation of a multiple choice question is to only have a single correct answer. The question itself says “the answer” not “answer(s)”, that’s perhaps a partial support of the expectation of a single correct answer. But yes, my assumption that there’s only a single correct answer, while reasonable in general, could be considered flawed considering the nature of the question itself.

Going with D. It’d be 25% for a normal question, but since it’s the second 25% this provides some evidence that I read all the answers.

You just proved his point and don’t even realize it.

With any luck there will be pushback somewhere that Google can’t ignore.

Went to https://play.google.com/console and it all seems to be okay. The two derelict apps already have package IDs and my info is on the identity tab. I think I may have visited that page a year or two ago in response to an email from Google. Or is there something else?

I paid the fee for a dev account near the beginning of Android. Haven’t had any apps published in over a decade, but from what I understand my account is grandfathered in so I don’t have to jump through as many hoops to get something published if I chose to, compared to newer accounts. Anyhow, since I have an account I suppose I’m unaffected by this decision. Still, it goes against the original spirit of Android as a free and developer-centric platform and I condemn it.
