Doubt it's not covered in EULA. Probably has something like

Company reserves the right to cancel your account for any reason, or without reason...

Does route calculation happen on device or on Google servers? Is it cheaper for Google to not show alternate routes?

Comments like this are just the definition of irony...

I also had screen tearing issues immediately on startup into the mint installer. Had to run the installer in safe mode to get mint going. Once mint was fully installed and rebooted to my desktop for the first time, had the same screen issues as I did with the installer not in safe mode. So mint only worked during install and only in safe mode.

Maybe our issues are similar (I'm Nvidia 1080 card), but I was never able to fix mine.

Yawn. This was not my point, or even what I was trying to to say.

But I wonder how much you'll defend YouTube and Google in 2 years.

Some good ideas here. Probably go with a word limit in your last bullet instead of the 5 minutes

It's just so exhausting, right? Im with you 100% on this.

Suppose we survive Trump, 60-40 ish. Who comes next? Is every future election going to be a fight to keep democracy?

How's that strategy working out for you? For us?

Unfortunately "don't give them money" doesn't work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don't care.

My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.

The world is vastly more complex than it ever was before. I get it feels useless, but learning anything makes us smarter.

Being smarter means we will handle situations intelligently. There is no useless learning.
