Cognitive dissonance may result from this mindset, especially applied to this case.

Maybe. It centres around congenital ignorance, and they sound kinda the same.

Of course, to use it, you have to send "telemetry" to google, and it's much more difficult to use if you don't keep everything on their servers.
Can anyone lend me a bargepole to not touch this product with?

Microsoft may be making great claims about the speed and security of Edge, but a recent study found that the browser is one of the least private. I did not see that coming

It's pretty obvious that the reason ms is never mentioned in rants about privacy by politicians is that they hand over everything the jack-booted fascists government agencies demand, no questions asked.

Humans on teams that included a robot expressing vulnerability communicated more with each other and later reported having a more positive group experience than people teamed with silent robots or with robots that made neutral statements, like reciting the game's score. Hopefully they'll remember to apologize for terminating us all

A survey of 415 IT executives published today shows IT teams are struggling to keep up as the number of platforms that need to be managed continues to expand rapidly. This survey brought to you by the letters 'Duh'

The problem is that anyone under thirty didn't have the KISS principle pounded into their skulls.
Just one person of 29-or-younger is all it needs to make an IT project five times more challenging.

I must say... that not all youngsters are that bad and not all elder are that good.
I know / have trained younger people than me and I had the whole spectrum. From people that didn't know how to do things but willing to learn and with working brains (a.k.a. they just needed some guidance until they get a bit of experience) up to zombie idiots that were more a dead weight than any help.
Same in the other way... elder workers that taught me a lot and other ones that were like a zero on the left side and the only thing you could learn from them was how NOT to do anything (what actually is something useful)
In my experience, the worst ones are the ones that being a bit (or very) skilled refuse to talk to / to hear other co-workers because they think they are the best / most intelligent. And even being it (really good), if they are solo players / arrogant assh..., they can still end causing more problems than solving them.

So, like 30%?
For me, it's the ones who know a little, and assume that it's how everything should be done, so are not interested in learning better ways.

This is the real issue. I agree 100% with you.
I don't remember who told it... but:

I liked silverlight MUCH more than ASP.NET...
I'll be watching this pretty closely.

I went to download it, and they wanted to collect personal info, so I decided not to. Too bad.
