If you don't want to code on it, windows is fine. (and if you can get past them violating your privacy)

If you need to code on it.... just don't

I love my windows machine for doing all my leisure activities. Its a shame that after all these years they can't learn from linux/mac and make a decent dev environment

I remember how mind blowing it was to install pip/python on my windows when I was first starting out. Easily installing packages from the cmd, so revolutionary! /s

I think it stems from the formation of our country. Back when the U.S. first formed the states were very much separate from each other and the federal government had very limited powers. Similar to the relationship of Europe and the E.U. However Over time U.S. citizens started to think of themselves as americans first and their state second.

Think about how european citizens feel about the E.U. Today it would be crazy to ask a country like Germany to just roll over to the demands of the E.U. But I'm sure 200 years from now, if the E.U. is still around, that line will be a lot more blurry. This is essentially the position america is in.

Fun fact: At one point U.S. states each had their own currencies

My complete guess based is that the body is either already cremated, or in the hands of the family of the deceased. And they wouldn't exactly be jumping at the opportunity to let the police mess with their dead relative.

It's just politicking, its "worth it" because they get to flex their muscle and show the world that they don't need apple's cooperation to get what they want.

Just ask for a white dolphin on the rocks (water over ice) :)

It is all about the glass shape, most people will assume you are having vodka soda.

I know there is something out there that allows you to report. I have not had experience with it so I cant really be more helpful in this direction.

If you aren't comfortable reporting it, what is your banning process like currently?

Why not report their ip address to the police? Hopefully people will learn that by posting cp on your site they will get flagged.

If highlights brought them all their most important fans tweets so that they only had to check their twitter feed once a day why woudln't they want to use it?

Granted they would still use it to promote their stuff. But they wouldn't have to check their feed which is the cause of stress and info overload

It is alot more stressful for content creators like youtube personalities who tweets out constantly instead of being a consumer. Because you have to make sure you don't miss any import people tweeting at you. And you have to make sure you make your audience happy. Most youtube stars hate twitter because it's such a burden to having to keep up with their audience.

Twitter can't afford to loose these people because they are the ones who create all the tweets most people come to twitter to consume.
