Give the inventor of modern digital lootboxes and the "license don't own" paradigm the opportunity to put a chip in my brain? Pass

Tell that to Galileo. Tell it to your kids the way the US is going with the Department of Education being removed.

No, it's a phrase meant to demonstrate that "no politics" is a rule only usable by people whose existence isn't political. Straight white men existing is not political, but when women's rights, immigrants rights, LGBT rights are all under attack by the right wing, suddenly their existence is "political" because their right to exist is actively under attack by the current regime.

I assume being Apple that it's not possible to sideload apps not supported on the app store? In particular I'd like to use some kind of a SmartTube or other youtube app that is ad free

Is there any point in getting anything above the bottom tier Shield? Just trying to use it to replace my chromecast/stream tv and youtube

This is going to be the thing that gets white people off the train. Being mean to the dogs.

God this is such a tired and lazy narrative. We just got out of one of the most effective administrations the world has seen and you're still pulling this bullshit. Biden managed to steer us out of a global pandemic and avoid a recession everyone was actively rooting for while managing inflation to lower rates than any other nation globally. Without legislative control, he managed to pass two major domestic investments including one investing billionsin high tech manufacturing. He canceled billions in student loan debt, had the strongest FTC we've seen in decades that started up antitrust for the first time in a century, and effectively halted a geopolitical enemy without losing a single American soldier. You want to call that all symbolic? Democrats are the definition of "if you do things right, they'll think you've done nothing at all" and we're currently seeing all the things they've done disappear in front of our eyes.

It's easy clickbait to get mad at Democrats for failing to be sufficiently symbolic.

If you're on Proton to be privacy-oriented and stop governments or corporations from accessing your data, do you really trust the company when their CEO is cozying up to an authoritarian regime? I just don't see Proton fighting any information requests from Trump right now, and just from a utilitarian perspective that makes them a bad choice for me as a user.

Their Swiss CEO decided that supporting an authoritarian American neo nazi regime was a good idea
