Since this involves Google, be prepared to give up some type of personal information for the privilege of paying to refine their VR hardware.

Safe spaces are a symptom yes, but you're wrong about the disease.
The disease: Raising kids to believe that women are always right and men are always wrong, giving every kid a trophy just for showing up, and helicopter parents holding kids' hands their entire lives. We know have a generation of legal adults that require "trigger warnings" before they hear anything the least bit upsetting during university lectures.

So why are you carrying water for a group that prefer to whinge, complain, and force others to act the way they want, instead of getting off their ass and downloading source to start their own projects?

Cover your ears (trigger warning): You're too old to buy into this bullshit, and I believe this is a troll to get back in the headlines.

...anyone that isn't a 13 year old Reddit user has nothing to be concerned about.

I don't, kids today are traumatized by "micro aggression" (whatever the fuck that is), so when they encounter a mean son of a bitch like BOFH they drop dead on the spot, which explains why the other kids have never heard of BOFH.
Now get off my lawn!

If you're bitching about resource usage you haven't used Chrome lately. And as long as FF is around, it keeps the other browsers (corporations) in line.
I for one, do not welcome our new Google overlord.

Make a twitter for newbies and a news feed if you want, I like my hand curated news sources as they are.

It isn't broken for me.

A bigger fix would be to make twitter a proper platform like it was, not a semi closed app

You obviously prefer reading Google press releases, here is real news instead:
The original NSA document stating seven companies helped with PRISM, one being Google.
[The] presentation claims the program is run with the assistance of the companies, all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment on Thursday denied knowledge

News from today another example of how little Google values privacy.

You Millenial fanboi's are so gullible. Corporations could give two flying fucks about you or your privacy, but you go on defending them.

Thanks to Snowden and Greenwald, we know Google, and its 800lb gorilla friends Apple and Microsoft actively participated with the NSA and its PRISM program.

I bet you feel stupid right about now.

So? Chrome crashes constantly and sucks now -- despite Google removing features every new version. Android is fragmented as hell and slow, with Google trying to remove as much open-source as it can.

Meanwhile, the big news for developers at Google I/O was the awesome news about how Google can help developers serve even more shitty adverts to app users.

Fuck Google, I'm going Microsoft, at least Microsoft plays well with others now that Ballmer is gone and Nadella in charge.

Not much.
You are still at fault.
If you are still confused I will think of something

well until I spill it and vacuum them up
