Take sons or grandsons of these lobbyists, enlist them into army, arm them with newest and costliest equipment from their fathers' companies and send to Syria or some other place with bad climate and actual actions. I think parents would in one moment change their mind about right to repair.

Comment Re:Can still use ADB to sideload though right? (Score 2) 78

No, you cannot. As far as I understand google annoncement, you can load with adb only app with registered uniquie id, and signed with key of developer who registered this id. Even with adb.
So if you are developing apps to distribute via playstore, no problem. You have to pay registration fee anyway, and you have to just one step into your build process - sing APK with our key.
But if you want to sideload somebody else's application, even if it is open source and you compiled it youself, you cannot, unless you rename main java class and register its name (which is uinque id) as your app.

Because you already have megabytes of C code to start with, such as NaCL library or OpenSSH. And most of this code is written well-enough to be converted.
So, try, find onversion error and fix - and you'll get working full-featured program much sooner than if you sit down and rewrite it on Rust from scratch (although I believe that rewriting mature program, and, especially library from scratch could significally imporove it and get rid of tons of outdated junk).

Did they include humans (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) as number 1 in their database?
It seems that this species originated somewhere in Africa and is definitely invasive alien species in Poland.

Really cats are part of agricultural ecosystem, which comes with humans and feeds them. If cats wouldn't extinguish rodents and birds, they would desctroy resources of food, we, humans grow for ourselves.
