New phones are several hundred dollars, and offer very little improvements over models a few years old. With inflation and every other cost of living rising, wages stagnating, unemployment rising, people are making choices. And more often than not, the choice is to pay food and rent instead of a shiny new phone that doesn't do anything new.
It most certainly did. The summary even discusses it.
When your party's leader is against putting the word in your party's title, and when he executes party higher-ups who consider themselves socialist, it's fair to say "no true scotsman" doesn't come into it.
Jesus, would it kill you to read even a Wikipedia summary of what the Nazis were and did? Or are you too afraid about what you might find out?
No, they didn't, but they weren't socialist either.
The original party was a diverse coalition of shitty people, some of whom considered themselves socialists because socialism isn't, outside of the Americas, considered a "bad word", especially in a Europe that was having trouble adjusting to a world war and unfettered capitalism during the industrial revolution. Workers rights are not a bad thing. It had, by that point, been watered down to practically a feel good term, the way "Freedom" is in the US.
Anywho, the socialists within the party pushed to have "Socialist" put in the name. Hitler opposed this. He was out numbered.
Then during the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler had the entire self-described socialist wing of his party purged. Its leaders were executed.
TL;DR - the party wasn't a socialist party, it had that in the name for historical reasons, Hitler hated it but by the time the party rose to power it was too late to do anything about it. But he did do something about the socialists in his party, and it wasn't pretty.
A decent amount. Here's a pull request for the dotnet library where they were having copilot do work.
It did not go well. The comments are gold.
MacOS has its own barriers to calling itself a professional operating system. A good part of my job is forcing it to conform to basic enterprise system management practices.
Calling them names and leveling false accusations at them is kind of the exact opposite of ignoring them in peace. Unless that's what brings you peace, in which case you're the mentally ill fuckup in that equation.
Demanding that people who are different from you to explain themselves to your satisfaction before you're willing to leave them the hell alone is peak conservative asshole.
I can manufacture outrageous events from my imagination and then extrapolate that fiction into a nation-wide systemic problem too!
You're just starting to acknowledge the possibility?
That's a whole lot of extra words, instead of just saying that you're a fucking moron who doesn't understand science.
People buying essentials on credit has been around for a very long time.
Longer than most think.

A few things to note...
Over the past couple of decades, more and more roles within the British healthcare system have become able to prescribe - pharmacists (as noted in the summary), nurse prescribers, physicians associates (who technically should be under the supervision of a GP, but the way the NHS has that set up its very much a "PA prescribes, GP actually has little say")...
The role of doctors in the British healthcare system is being diminished and replaced by lower paid, lower trained positions, and GPs are particularly hard hit by it - which is why GPs are retiring or moving overseas at record rates, far beyond the ability for the current GP training schemes to replace them.
The UK is actively doctor hostile these days, and British doctors do not want to be part of it any more.
It's not just in Britain. All across the West, there's a shortage of native-born doctors. The expense and hassle of getting an MD is bad enough. Then you also have the modern stresses of being an MD (which in America, includes a highly litigious culture where doctors have to get maddeningly expensive malpractice insurance). The workload is huge, and the money is only good for the hyper-specialists now. The home-grown family doctor is an endangered species in the US, and we're addressing it in two ways: handing doctor duties to those lower on the chain, and importing doctors from the third world. Every single new doctor at my not-large Southern US hospital in the past three years has come from 3 places: India, Pakistan, or East Africa. This of course, robs those areas of badly needed doctors. And it doesn't really matter if your system is private or nationalized. Look at the ranks of doctors that staff your local services. You'll see similarities everywhere in the West: there's fewer of them, and they tend to come from overseas.
