    Another reason to take a burner instead if you have to travel to China.

    Often it is respected, but the resulting problem is platforms conflate things with the questionable AI scraping crawlers to blackmail websites into participating in feeding AI. For example, Googlebot if enabled won't just list you for search, but will also scrape your contents for Google's AI. I imagine LinkedinBot, given it's microsoft, will feed some other AI of theirs as well on top of the previews. Until regulation steps in to require AI bots to separately ask for crawling permission, or to actually get a proper license for reuse of the contents, this situation isn't going to improve.

    Ah so that should be pretty accurate then, because the amount of users spoofing their OS is likely fairly low, and I would assume would mostly be Linux users as well, meaning it wouldn't sell the data as being higher than it is, but rather possibly lower.

    The banana was the shit. Sooo cool. So expensive. Have you watched the Blackberry movie? Its a great insight into how Apple just crushed all of that market with the iPhone. I wish Nokia had opened their system for third Party developers. They already had the capabilities for an app store on the devices, my E62 had a "store". But it was just so empty and horrible

    Unfortunately the other big airlines in the country will do this soon after seeing its success.
  • Wow, that's excluding Chrome OS, which has 2.71% on it's own.

    This isn't entirely right because Chrome OS is using a lot more of normal desktop Linux than Android does, which basically uses none. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChromeOS Android is this completely different thing (built round OpenBinder) that ended up using the Linux kernel for good hardware support. It's basically got nothing to do with desktop Linux, bar needed it to actually build Android. You can argue that Google basically tried forking Linux for Binder and control.

    I could be completely wrong as it's outside of my areas of competency, but my understanding is that the functionality was harder to achieve because of some technical reason due in part to Google/Alphabet fuckery. So another day ending in "y".
