So how is iOS software distribution different from console software distribution, and if not, why should it?

So what law did Dyson break? Oh wait. They didn't, the EUC fucked up their law. The EU court nullified it, because the EUC simply is clueless about something as simple as a vacuum cleaner. But of course you can't hold the EUC responsible for their biases and cluelessness.

Can you recommend a Session Saver/Manager add-on for Firefox?

The old add-ons were abandoned.

Only if you're recycling the plastic into more plastic. And that's worthless.

What you should be doing is recycling it back into fuel for electricity production- but nobody wants that even with all the scrubbers- they made it illegal to EVER open a 2nd garbage burning electric plant in Oregon.

Not really, it just kicks the problem out a level. There's a similar mechanism on Android. It's probably in the top 5 things new developers don't understand and need to be taught in detail. It's doable, if the devs writing the program understand and correctly use the system, but it's not free or anywhere near a solved problem.

I didn't get on board with OS/2 until 3.0 (and onwards to 4.0), but it has far far superior to Win95 at the time. Presentation Manager, Desktop Shell and virtual machines were *very* handy. Our main manufacturing software at the time absolutely would not run on anything other than DOS 6.22. So, I followed the directions to build a DOS 6.22 VM on my OS/2 workstation, and it ran great.

It would actually use all of the 4GB of RAM (if you could afford it) addressable in a 32-bit system, and if a poorly behaved program hung or crashed, you just closed it and moved on. Win95 (at the time), not so much.

From your link:

"As a public company, Twitter has regularly shared a number of monetizable daily active Twitter users worldwide. But since the acquisition and uncertainty around X/Twitter usage, we have limited recent data."

And the last value reported was Sep 2023.

I recently read where the majority of the microplastics that we're finding every, including inside our tissues, in placentas, and such is coming from. Tires. Perhaps the car really is killing us, and the US is more in love with cars than almost anywhere. I wonder what these stats are like in Germany, possibly the only place more car-happy than the US?

What a godawful ignorant comment you've made. Scientists and their orgs do value their work. The whole system is screwy. We pay scientists jack shit, make them scrounge for research money, then write technical papers that they get paid squat for, charge them for things like public access and color graphs, and make a bunch of other scientists review those papers for free and create more unpaid labor for the writing scientists. Finally it gets published, which you pay thousands of dollars to access either as a member of a society, journal subscriber, or through your institution. Meanwhile, marketing majors and MBAs pull hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in salary, not to mention bonuses. But yeah, that's a problem of the Left, not of unfettered capitalism and a general apathy if not distrust of science in the US. But hey, enjoy reading this comment on your handheld computer through the intertubes. God has willed it.
