What exactly are you looking for?

The email text was just 7 paragraphs of Linus explaining how he doesn't like late pull requests, so I think the title matched it perfectly.

"Linux 5.10 released" maybe

In which sense?

> Google sells user data, but that isn't true; user data is only used for ad personalization.

And other companies getting referrals can’t connect the dots when they know the user clicking on the AdWords Ad and what the Ad was for?

Companies that work with big data companies run AdWords campaigns in Google for other companies, right?

Even if Google isn’t evil and does everything in the interest of privacy, if their ads, based on your preferences from your emails and browsing history, are used to direct you to some product, there is a way that other companies will learn of those preferences, store them, sell them, and use them.

How is that a Google problem and not simply the other company tracking their own customers?

Google is targeting the ads, with each targeted ad they leak personal information about the users. Advertisers only have to pay and Google tells them who's matching whatever demographic they want. On the other hand print and billboard ads don't reveal personal information to the advertisers.

You didn’t happen upon someone on an island playing with a remote controlled Pterosaur did you?

They might be able to get you a helicopter ride to NORAD, so you can stop it.

Not having an API is short-sighted.

Those who will use your info legitimately will probably use an API, but those who only want your data can hide their IP across a number of cloud agents to extract all of the data from your site regardless of whether you offer an API or not unless you use CAPTCHA.

If everyone used it, no one would read it, so I’m all for it, in that context.

I admit I'm a bit confused by this statement. To me it reads as saying a platform everyone posted to but no one ever read would be a good thing, basically twitter as cat > dev/null.

I would find it good for partial use, like tweet on that all day and limit your browsing to once per day or something like that
