No, of course they aren't.
Which is the point.
You sterilize a bunch of little kids by convincing them they're a different sex.
And if they change their mind later on? Whoops! Our mistake. But they've already been sterilized.
Rendering them a dead end

Also the whole "trans" crap.

Start working on kids to convince them to mutilate their genitals and pump up on cross sex hormones, leaving them sterile.

... or did they not realize that "government agencies" was one of the biggest reasons to have E2EE?

Modded down.
A Maddow-addict.

And if the Chinese government tells Apple: Sell to Chinese buyers or be banned?
Same for Tesla. Microsoft. Boeing. Etc.
All these companies collect massive amounts of data inside China.

Let the world know when you have a legitimate bitch.

In short, it's an organization who teaches women that they're victims and how to lodge a complaint in a manner that has so many "activation" words built in that if DEI is involved AT ALL, the company will be forced to drop good, productive employees for nasty, entitled, toxic "diversity hires".

NO THANKS!

Okay, try to grab my data when my system is isolated in a VM.

When given no option?
Okay.
I use my phone for one two things.

1: As a phone. I'm also antisocial and don't like talking to people on the phone.
2: As a tethered internet device.

That's it.
If these people can glean anything through my VPN or my ultra-low minute conversations, I wish them nothing but frustration.

Am I atypical? Sure.
Please see "antisocial".

It'll eventually get challenged and overturned.

There are ways to minimize subsidence.
The term is "groundwork" or "dirt work".
Essentially it's geo-technical engineering.
Simply digging a hole, pouring concrete in and then putting a structure on top simply isn't enough.
Allowance needs to be made for ground pressure, soil engineering, water displacement, etc.
Otherwise you may as well strap detonators to the building and periodically demolish and rebuild.

You'll find that the mentality over there is to just "throw a building up" and then, when it fails, go throw ANOTHER poorly planned, poorly built building up in a different location.

If I have to get the OS registered? Fine.
I'll just immediately create a local account and never use the MS account again.
I'm never going to be dumb enough to allow Microsoft to control MY access to MY computer.

My work here is done!

Enjoy the snickers.

Everything takes longer and costs more.

Also expressed as "Work will expand to fill the resources given to it."

HEIL WEBSTER!
