By making it a poor choice, which you do by providing a better alternative that is cheaper.
My favourite kind of updates are those that happen on a Friday afternoon where you push all the buttons you think you have to, and it looks like it's getting on with it, so you switch the monitor off and go home for the weekend, then when you come back in on Monday there's another popup that says "you have to push this button for no reason before I'll install these updates" and then you have to sit there watching it update because it's sat there for the entire fucking weekend waiting for you to push that stupid pointless button.
I wish there was a checkbox that says "Complete updates without requiring any further user input. Wanna reboot? Reboot. Wanna download some shit? Download some shit. Wanna start installing some shit? Install some shit. Wanna repeat over and over? Repeat over and over" or something like that.
The worst that my country wants to do with my data is attempt to sell me shit I don't want. (OK yeah we have one or two taboos: antisemitism and actual terrorism, but that's about it.)
In some other countries, drawing parallels with certain emperors and certain A.A.Milne characters could cost me my freedom and possibly my life. Ain't nothing stopping me standing outside #10 and yelling Rishi is a wanker!
Has homosexuality been redefined?
I thought huddling together for warmth in cold weather was a survival technique: a method for staying alive, rather than counting as a sex act.
And two males bringing up an orphaned child seems like a jolly nice thing to do for the child and the community. If an orphanage is staffed by one sex, does that make the whole place a massive L/G orgy even if nobody is having sex with anyone else?
No it doesn't. "Time zones around the world are expressed using positive or negative offsets from UTC, as in the list of time zones by UTC offset."

Time now in UTC is 10:33, no matter where on the planet you are.
Well you can. Just switch your clock to UTC and you're done. You won't even have DST to deal with.
A Sony mobile phone that couldn't remember the time when it was switched off.
True it's going back a while. But not so far that battery backed clock chips were uncommon.
Putin blaming the USA and their "Ukrainian puppets" in 3... 2...
Or maybe he's worked for some small companies where none of those is a full time job and hiring 27 people to sit around for 97% of their time is not likely to be considered a terribly good business decision.
