I think MAGA is an unspoken admission that there are a lot of easily swayed people in this country that have been failed by the existing system.
Even if deep down they know it is all BS they can't allow themselves to acknowledge it because that would mean having to face the reality that they don't have much of a future to look forward to for various reasons.
A lot of people can't take that mentally and keep going day to day, so they just go along with the crazy because it seems easier to go with the delusion.
Gotta get that post nut clarity to make sure it is you and not the horny feelings leading you to making that decision.
I take it the app will forever be on my Galaxy s24+. A system app that Samsung will never see fit to remove via one of the mo thy patches.

They are just butt hurt that this whole thing really shines a light on how inaccurate the line of "the world runs on Linux" truly is.
The world runs on a lot of different things for different reasons and that does not fit nicely into their Richard Stallman like world view.
This combination of arrogance and complacency sort of thinking is how it does happen on Linux one day.
If all of the parts of the internet that the average person finds useful goes down, then it matters little that technically "the internet" is not down. If it can't be useful then it is as good as "down".
I don't think you have to worry about that. I don't think any Pixel has ever sold well by most metrics.
I’ve been struggling to understand why Canonical would withhold security fixes on a Long Term Support release
This is not gonna stop until the consumer puts their money where there mouths are and stops using Windows until Microsoft back peddles. Money is all a company understands so that is where you need to hit them if you want them to listen. But as a group the consumer has a very weak constitution when it comes to having to do something that is good for them in the long term but causes them short term inconvenience. A lot of parallels to the modern corporate world in that.
Not gonna lie, as a straight white man, I would watch a show called " Doctor Twink with his boyfriend fashion Lizard".
Tesla will probably be a case study one day in how to get the lead in a market that is hard to break into and somehow squander it.

In my experience you either have to trade one devil for the other with Apple or accept buying hardware from the ad company so you can use GrapheneOS.
Sure, I could. But I wanted to leave the original post as it was for transparency. I figured that was the most "open" thing to do.
Scientists have figured out a ton of things in a lab setting. But most of that is not something that scales up to the real world.

It has always been kind of funny to me that the painters of these official portraits had to at some point get directions along the lines of "I want it to be flattering but clearly me" for some of the portraits they had to do of what had to be pretty bridge troll ugly looking people.
Talk about going home that night after getting the assignment, having a stiff drink, and wondering how the hell you are going to get out of this one.
