What I mean context is not the article, but the title as a whole. I don't think Firefox is going to announce "our CEO traffics with data, so we are no longer working with our privacy partner". If verge or somebody else speculated that's the reason, I would expect the title to include " Y person thinks/told".

It's like "Judge sentences rapist to death after raping a child" and "Judge sentences rapist to death after careful consideration". The context of the sentence itself makes it think that the rape was performed by the sentenced, and the consideration by the judge. They could be switched and be technically correct, but would be a very unusual way of wording.

I don't think this title is specially clickbaity or malicious. Specially given this is the fucking Verge.

But again, might be how my brain is wired to read a foreign language.

Probably, but they might "just find out they don't have the part in stock and can't do it"" and refund

I'm not a native speaker, but the right meaning is the one that came to mind reading this title.

I think context makes it clear, and the most likely meaning. If it was Firefoxs CEO the one at fault, I would think it's a ver weird way of saying it.

But I also see people saying this is why Firefox is the worst and I'm not sure I got it right by accident, people have low reading comprehension or just a massive bias.

The article mentions a single repo/app, not github as a whole.

No, you're not answering that at all.

Google is an ad company. They sell ad spaces. They use the data to give you "tags" that the companies that want to buy ads will use to know how interesting you're for them and bid on that ad. They don't get the data, they don't know who you are. They know an age range, estimated income level, and interests. That's all. That information is what's used for targeted ads.

But it's fine, keep pretending you know what you're talking about. I'm sure you know first hand all of this

I know ad business, I don't know what question you're answering. Clearly not the ones raised.

It's common practice in a conversation to respond to the questions asked, not to the ones in your head. sorry if you didn't knew that

What question are you answering?

It's not even waiting for the last moment. They are installing windows 10 on the new machines, that come with W11.

And if I punched him, l'd be the one to go to jail.

Let me know time and place, I'll witness it was in self defense

I think somebody said, but there's the misconception that Apple can never do wrong by people who should know better.

On the other end of the spectrum, my IT department is rolling new laptops for everybody will l with Windows 10. The plan is to upgrade everybody "the day we can no longer have support for 10".

Lying is a great way to get engagement in the post, and then see your project crash and burn.

I'm only interested in your rant in a few weeks when nobody cares.

There's a legal definition of what can be called cheese, same as with a lot of products. Curd can be used, what (I recall) is that they were mixing up leftover cheeses from production into a single one, which is not allowed in general.

I tried to find the article, it happens some time ago.
