The exact group which is officially declared as "evil" does not matter. Using a scapegoat is the point. Hiding complex problems and present "simple solutions". People are scared of problems they cannot solve themselves. They want someone to solve them.

It was getting better after the circuit board came off. (also: gifs that end too soon)
Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.
Also, I doubt that Google wanted to destroy XMPP. They simply needed a chat then noticed it's crap for mobile devices. They wanted to offer their users seemless migration to the new proprietary protocol.
I was sad that Google stopped to use an official standard, but there are many better free options left.
I read more about the case and it seems it's not about the store itself. The real issue is that behind the stage Google makes individual contracts with companies. They agree about fees etc. This is really not fair.
I mostly use lightweight virtualization with containers and jails at home. I have one BHyVe VM, but I plan to eliminate virtualization completely. It's a waste of resources for my setup.
That doesn't make sense, because Android is quite open. You can literally download apps everywhere from the internet.
The only thing that you're not allowed to do is to take advantage of the Google store and circumvent their microtransaction system. If you want to have own microtransactions, do it on yourself.
The system is broken when you have to discuss your health with judges instead of a doctor.
No wait. They should elect Putin, then invite him for a celebration.
It is a good way to have a fire hazard at home, if you don't know what you're doing.
