For the entire history of manufactured products, skilled mechanics could take them apart and see how they worked. Mechanical stuff is inherently open-source.
Then the rise of digital systems gave companies the ability to eliminate a right we have had for centuries.
We are not demanding new rights, we are protesting when old rights are taken away.
A higher up at Microsoft posted on twitter saying the issue was caused by paperwork that these projects didn't do, that all of them were impacted at once because the missing paperwork is tied to a deadline and that Microsoft is working to get it sorted out so these projects can continue.
Maybe it gets it confused with Yo Yo Ma jokes.
I hear he's like the cellist dude. Never gets angry when people call his mother fat.

I do too
>"I do not agree with legislating from the bench. The courts need to apply the laws as written, not make up new laws. We have a branch of government for making new laws."
The problem is that the laws are often not well written and too flexible, generic, undefined, or even contradictory. The other problem is when the legislature is too chicken s*** to make a stand on anything and do their jobs. Instead, they just shove all their responsibilities onto unelected agencies with nebulous, overly-broad mandates. That way the legislators can't be held accountable for anything.
It often gives excellent answers, but when it doesn't, the results are strange.
I asked for help writing code for an obscure hobby CNC control system.
It totally invented function calls and invented plausible documentation to explain how they worked and how to call them.
It totally missed the easy answer that involved calling an existing simple function and writing no new code.
If the answer doesn't exist on the internet, it appears to just make one up

As someone who's been using Samsung phones for about 15 years, I had no idea there was a thing called "Samsung Messages". I tend to tune out all the shovelware that phones come with (and take steps to remove or disable them).
I really like Samsung phones, but their software ecosystem is abysmal. Everything they provide is inferior to other options.
You are pretty close. I honestly can't even remember why, it was so many years ago. I only remember hating the messaging app and hating what Google offered and heard about Textra. Tried it, and it solved all my problems. I paid a few dollars to support it. And over the years, it just kept getting better.
Since I have no interest in social media or other DM, all I need/use is SMS. It is possible there are better options now, but I have no motivation or need to explore anything else yet.
>"Why would you want SMS app with "ads and in app purchases" when so many fully featured ad free with no in app purchases SMS apps exist?"
I have been using it for many years. Long before there were any good other options. There might be better options now, I don't know. I have been happy with Textra, though. Updated regularly, lots of features, and reliable.
>"Everyone has their own message app, and outside US, almost no one uses it for anything other than SMS. For everything else, it's Whatsapp, Telegram, WeChat, Signal, etc."
I have never used Samsung's, although it is on my phone. Or any other manufacturer's (LG, Moto, etc). But I also don't use Google Messages. I use Textra with every phone, regardless of brand. But I also don't use any other messaging except SMS. I just want something that works and does what I want.
