I prefer to call it pOS ;_

Clarify: Were you shot, spit on, had your home barged into, demanded your papers or you'd be thrown in jail? If so, provide a case number since you're so staunchly fierce that you'd fight tooth and nail, I'm sure you'd file a report. We can FOIA that shit and be outraged at your being illegally handled. If not, I'm sorry for your slightly negative treatment.

So in the real world, reputation does matter. Even if you believe Obama was "harsh", he gave the impression that he was following the spirit of the rules. Heck, he even tried to treat the deportees with a modicum of respect and opened up Family centers for the detained (an unpopular action by the right) - they're human after all. Meanwhile, you have multiple Supreme court Injunctions -- a right leaning one i might add, with at least one or two picked out specifically by Trump himself - being ignored by the current administration, along with multiple Constitutional violations (unreasonable search and seizure) You might not agree with the world is doing, these riots are a proportional response to when people feel they're being trampled on. I imagine you might be on the streets when your parents get executed for asking if someone who was pushed over is okay.

App quality on either market? Have you SEEN the slop that on those marketplaces? 20 slightly misspelled apps of the a popular one? Security? What security? Did you forget that Apple let in all of China's compromised SDK developed apps because they couldn't be assed to put up a reasonably fast mirror there? That's *THOUSANDS* of apps, ignoring all the examples white hat and we-want-that-feature-but-they-wouldn't-let-us (wifi tethering back in the day, hidden in a flashlight app)?

Did you know that when they were going to introduce in-app payments, documents leaked that Apl was seriously contemplating on adding the "nobody can charge differently" clause that most credit card companies have? But instead of 1-3% the CC charge, it was 30%?

so you just like bitching, huh? Slaker explicitly mentions that the setting is sticky, and you still bitch about it. My guess is you're either uneducated and can't read, or you're an ifanboy bitching for the sske of bitching.

You're American, aren't you? If you were any other nation, you'd already know major brands like Xiaomi and Oppo are each about 1/2 the size of the big two (sitting at 10-15% while the incumbents you mention are 20-30%. I guess two significant digits marketshare is a fraction to you.

That's like complaining that a Bank A's app won't transfer money between an unrelated Bank B directly because you have both apps installed. Any app can respond to the "intent" the camera uses to open the gallery. If that's not good enough for you, I'm sure there's apps on the play store to replace said camera app to ensure compatibility with whatever gallery you choose. As for the Google Spam, you can replace the Samsung call/dialer app with Google's, and Google's spam filter can be turned on -- according to a quick google. But you wouldn't know what that is, I suppose.

Obviously. AoC hasn't been shown to be in the back pocket of companies (oil especially, as long as they don't talk negatively about him or his plans), and hasn't tried to sneak unrelated things into the bills she's backed. People are naturally skeptical and will 100% have a knee jerk reaction to what he says. It's basically the same overreaction DT has to when people point out potential flaws in his plans.

Uhm, there's a huge difference between Windows and you should stop trying to cope as you look like a Mac stooge right now. Look at your own argument: you initially didn't bother reading. Now you're still making an argument that seems to try to lump Microsoft in with Apple despite the fundamental differences an self-respecting nerd should know. 1) Windows Executable certificates *NEVER* expire. Additionally, if you install an unsigned EXE, it prompts you once the first time you run it to allow. It never checks again because Microsoft isn't requiring $99+ per year to stay being a developer. 2) If Logi's certificate expired on Windows, it's autoupdate and cloud syncing features would be broken and that's it. Simply disconnecting your internet would cause the same problems, and you'd have heard complaints long ago. You know, online stuff -- the whole point of the SSL certificate. The base functionality would remain untouched unless the program was designed horribly, requiring you to be online for your enhanced mouse functions (neither platform did).

Your two halves of your sentence are conflicting. Why would a permanent certificate care about time-stamping a service? Simply set the validity period starting at 0 (earliest possible the cert allows) to FFFFFFFFFF (max value the cert allows)

if the developer stops paying the apple tax to keep that certificate up to date, what do you think will happen?

Unless you can provide a better example of speech offenses that we should be worried about (you know, since the majority of the government criminal system is explicitly open after the case is resolved)... It seems like the UK is okay, of which most of them were not officially charged (only about 3 incidences per day) and more importantly, politicians / people in power were ALSO charged: From Gemini, here's a list of cases: Racist Abuse: A man was jailed for eight months for making monkey gestures and shouting racial slurs during a demonstration. Other cases involved racist comments on social media directed at Black football players after a match. Insulting Comments About Deceased Individuals: A man was convicted for a crude tweet about the late fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore, saying, "the only good Brit soldier is a deed one, burn auld fella buuuuurn". Insulting Comments About Soldiers: A man was given a community order for a Facebook post following the deaths of six British soldiers in Afghanistan that stated, "All soldiers should DIE & go to HELL!". Threats and Incitement to Violence: A woman was jailed for a tweet calling for mass deportation and for the hotels housing migrants to be set on fire. A suspended councillor was charged after reportedly telling a crowd that members of a far-right group should have their throats cut. A woman was sentenced to 12 weeks in jail for sending direct tweets to a public figure, including threats like "kill yourself before I do; rape is the last of your worries". Offensive Memes: An army veteran was arrested for sharing an image online that depicted pride flags arranged as a swastika, which police said "caused anxiety". The charges were dropped in this case. Homophobic Remarks: A man was convicted of a public order offence for repeatedly using homophobic remarks and derogatory comments to harass a shop manager. Naming a Sexual Offence Victim: Several people were arrested and fined for naming a rape victim on social media, which is against the law in the UK. Alleged Threats to an Airport (Joke): A man was arrested and initially convicted for a tweet saying he would "blow the airport sky high!!" if it didn't open after snow closures. His conviction was later quashed on appeal, with the High Court ruling it was clearly a joke and not "menacing".

https://chatgpt.com/share/6939... Looks like on a macroscopic level (and not just a single person's view), the examples you gave can be summarized into: 1) bigger routes / places often get a slight cost benefit, but smaller less dense routes / places have price increases due to lack of competition. 2) most are neutral at best in the short term. These mergers are hurting more Republicans (especially in the lesser populated states) than Democrats.

One of these is legal, the many others have been laughed out of court -- which I might add is majority Republican. It's not just legislative for this administration, it's a heavily conservative judicial system that's coming down on a republican president. You know shits gone bad when party lines are cracking this hard -- it's one thing for one or two votes out of 100s in the Senate. It's huge when it's one or two justices that are suppose to be favorable to your position.
