the only website the federal government should have is irs.gov. literally every other .gov should be destroyed. why am i being forced to pay for this stuff?

once we get that done, then we can destroy irs.gov too and vacate the military.

wikipedia has a very strict non-deadnaming policy if someone is not notable prior to adopting their new name. it can't even appear in redirects or lists.

i wish i didn't have to renounce my gender to be afforded the same protection.

i had an app on my phone. i backed up my phone. i got a new phone. i restored my phone. all my apps and data reappeared except one. it turns out your apps aren’t in the backup, they get redownloaded fresh as current versions, not the versions you had. one app is no longer in the store so i can’t have it on my new phone.

fucked by drm on a brand new $2000 device. thanks apple.

icloud in china is run by a chinese company, not apple, and their privacy policy is very very clear about what privacy you can expect when using icloud in china.

"privacy, that's apple"
