> Living in London, I cannot really remember when was the last time I talk to a stranger

I lived in central London (Camden) for 15 years before moving to Stockholm, and almost every day was full of small encounters and discussions with strangers: about the weather, bemoaning our politicians, whether the food was any good, and so on.

London is a super-chatty town, and people constantly want to engage each other - even sometimes when you’re not in the mood.

If you want to see a place where strangers NEVER speak to each other (unless you’re obviously a tourist and the locals want to give you a good impression of their home-town), then come here to Stockholm. Right now there’s a big ad campaign running, encouraging people to say “hello!” To their neighbors (campaign is called “Hej granne!”)

Yep people don’t even say hi to the person they meet in the stairs.

> The one working at Apple was able to check their spouse's spending trend on App store

You obviously could back this hearsay up with actual evidence I assume?

> What I really dislike about the "you don't own this, the cloud does" is apps changing without me having a say in it. Spotify is great, but...

I agree with everything you said apart from the "Spotify is great" part.

I’ve got into the habit of clicking the 3-dot icon next to the search entry (often number 1 in Googles’s results) and reporting these sites as scrapers, stealing content from SO.

Maybe if we all did this, google might eventually take notice?
