That would be a really good deal for an iPhone 16 Pro (>$2300) but if If you don't want to get an iPhone, you don't have spend that much money In fact, you can get a Fairphone for $650.

X algorithm changed in July [2024] to boost right-wing accounts, study finds

but there is more to it

Shitty twitter needs to be flushed.

2025 wasn't the first time and it definitely isn't going to be the last time.

Neo: Are... are you high right now?
Morpheus: Uhh... a little bit-but the question still appli-
Neo: Go home, Rick, it's late.
Morpheus: Don't call me by my slave name!
Neo: Goodnight, Rick.

I'm not about to believe this until netcraft confirms it.

If you have no point to make them you are merely chattering on. Good day.

Let's just game out how divesting would go.
1. Chrome is bought by another megacorp (e.g. Microsoft) and is then equally used to screw over users.
2. Chrome is bought by a medium-sized company that fails to recognize the level investment it requires and they make bad choices or sell it to someone else.
3. Chrome is bought by a small company that MUST make money from Chrome and adds a bunch of shitty stuff to it and Chrome starts dying.

The best outcome you are going to get is Chrome dying a slow death and most people fleeing to other chromium forks which likely mean Microsoft absorbing most users. Given what they have written about why to divest, it seems they are hoping for a nonexistent possibility where greed is not the driving factor.

I have attempted to address the point you have put forth. If you feel my response did not address your point then contemplate the possibility that your first comment simply failed to articulate your point in an effective manner that communicates your idea. You are free to try again.

LOL! What's funny is that in addition to various bacterium, we also have trillions of bacteriophages in us in addition to the other viruses we carry. Like bacterium, bacteriophages/viruses are also everywhere. The human body contains a whole ecosystem of tiny things feeding and killing each other.

That's not time, that is sequence.

Doesn't matter. If they didn't repeal the earlier law then the law remains a limitation.

Congress can give the FCC 100% authority over everything and when congress then passes a law, despite their authority, the FCC must follow that law.

You need to learn the basics about how the legal system works.

Except it is not. Multicellular life had to evolve increasingly robust cell walls partially due to the fact that bacteriophages are most prolific things on the planet.

You need to need to dig a little deeper into precisely why bacteriophages are limited to bacterium. What you are arguing is similar to the argument that being capable of picking mechanical locks means you can pick a cryptographic lock. Despite being conceptually similar, the approach needs to be overhauled. In this case, it would mean designing something that would never be considered a bacteriophage because it would be entirely different in both form and function.

That would imply that we made it back to the moon. Not happening.

If only! The problem is that bacteriophages work on bacterium and not multicellular things because bacterium have trivial cell walls. You call it a small jump but that's like saying it's a small jump between making a rocket and starting a colony on another planet. To the layman, this is true but anyone who actually knows about the challenges in involved in interplanetary exploration will understand that such a claim is far from the truth.

When congress passes a law, it can only be changed by congress. It can interpreted as unconstitutional or it can be unenforced but it remains the law. Nothing about "it was made 20 years ago" changes the fact that congress set a limit.

This should be an open an shut court case to prevent any merger violating that limit and a total slam dunk at that. However, we live in strange days.
