Reverting a template is child's play: even easier than vandalizing one. Wikipedia deals with this kind of shit on a daily basis.

The marks that this scam is aimed at aren't concerned about privacy as such. They'll eagerly hand over their private info to Snarler, GettrByThePussy, mOAN, NewSmax, and even GRU... just so long as King Obummer II and Narc Cuckerberg, can't censor their memes about lynching Killary.

Mindless people, on the other hand, feel no pain at all... they just inflict it on the rest of us.

I'm a freelancer... I don't have "office hours".

If that were true, MoviePass woud not allow you to see it again.

No, Adobe has not shifted their applications to The Cloud. The applications run right there on a local CPU and GPU, like any other desktop application. (Go ahead and turn off your wifi and check: the software still runs just the same.) I know, I know: the word "cloud" is right there in the name of the product, but keep in mind that "Photoshop" does not actually include a store, and "Illustrator" doesn't actually draw for you. The difference between "Adobe Creative Suite" and "Adobe Creative Cloud" is a licensing model, not a computing model.

Why do you assume that there needs to be an employer/employee relationship for one group of people to have a moral obligation to treat another group of people well?

Some people – libertarians mostly – would look at the difference between what you cost to your employer and what you end up with (i.e. taxes), and scream that it should all be given to you. What they don't realize is that, if those payroll+incomes taxes didn't exist, you wouldn't get $122.30; your employer would pay you about $70 instead... maybe $75. And if they knew you didn't have to pay VAT, they'd pay you even less, because they could. It isn't an exact correspondence, and if taxes go up/down dramatically it takes a while for wages to adjust to compensate, but that's how it works on the macro level: taxes are factored into wages. This is why (for example) Norway is "highly taxed" but middle-class Norwegians can still afford the same kinds of food and housing and entertainment that middle-class people in "low tax" countries can. The main difference is that high-tax countries tend to have better-funded governments, and low-tax countries tend to have wealthier business owners.

Anyone whose job title begins with "Chief" and ends with "Officer", for example.

I don't care so much about the router-only models, which can be replaced with competing commodity routers. But the Time Capsule model has no equivalent, and was one of Apple's best ideas... OK, half of one of their best ideas. The other half is Time Machine, which is hands down, the best personal-computer backup system I have ever seen: set it up, and forget about it until you need it. Working over wifi, it's like "cloud" backup, but faster, no monthly fees, and low probability of data breaches.

I gently pushed the Time Capsule to every customer who bought a computer from me the year I worked in the Apple Store... not because management told me to (they didn't), but because I wanted people to have them. I already have one, of course, but – like the iPod Shuffle I wear every time I go to the gym – I anticipate a day will come eventually when I'll need a replacement. And Apple won't have anything like it.

How is Time Machine "orphaned"? It still works with a locally-attached hard drive... not nearly as convenient as with a Time Capsule, but it's still fully functional.

How many of them provide data backup services with Time Machine?

The block-appeals process sounds pretty ineffectual, if it's being handled by the same people who are doing the blocking. Part of the problem there is that there are clearly people working for Facebook who don't understand the difference between a nude painting and a porn video, or who are so disgusted by a snapshot of two men kissing that they fire off a "BLOCK!" and move on to the next report. If you ask someone equally clueless/bigoted to review that decision (and there's no appeal available to protest their confirmation of that mistake) nothing actually gets better... but the PR pressure is off.
 
What they need is for these appeals to be treated like customer complaints, that go to the equivalent of Internal Affairs: people who actually want to support free expression, who'll not only say "oops, never mind" when their censors screw up, but also get those people trained/terminated so it happens less often.

They've announced the release, and released the announcement, but the software is not yet available for download....

Industry analysts Chad Sudonim, Ima Puppet, Travis Hoxe, and Gnome DePlume all denounced the deception.
