I went from an S10 to an S22 Ultra and the fingerprint reader is leagues better.

> The "Russia is invading our country" narrative is only held by some.

Mainly those that believe in concepts such as 'borders' and 'sovereignty'

You might personally feel that those residents welcomed foreign troops with open arms, but it's not a narrative that Russian forces crossed Ukraine's border to annex territory that didn't belong to it.

You've replied with this article to multiple comments as if it carries any weight. Why do you feel like we're bound to the same dietary behaviors as our ancestors?

> It is not just a random preference and it is not something that anyone can just switch off, therefore it is not a matter of morality, as you are trying to portray it

Every declaration you made in this sentence is incorrect.

In this scenario I would argue that deleting a function abruptly without verifying impacts is significantly worse than gradually adding a delay. Usually when function deprecations occur impacted dev teams are notified on a shared distro of what's coming in future releases. Library maintainers at large companies typically don't have the bandwidth to investigate each project that uses their library to determine if deleting a function would detrimentally impact a production environment. What a deletion does do is block the downstream dev team in this hypothetical from deploying to prod as they investigate why their builds are suddenly failing (or crashing in prod!) and refactor an alternative solution. Do you really want to work in an environment where other devs feel empowered to break your builds and sprints ad hoc?

> Think about whenever you travel to Austin for conferences, it's oppressively hot and you basically travel from one air conditioned building to the next.

Commentary from someone who only visits Texas in the summer is bound to be one-dimensional.

> To me this spells the end of Oracle's supremacy in anything other than selling smaller and smaller volumes of mainframes.

True because average regional temperature has always been a solid predictor of company success, which is why companies like 3M, Cirrus Logic, Dell, Indeed, National Instruments, and Silicon Labs all collapsed after establishing their headquarters in Austin due to talented employees leaving en masse for the beauty of other regions /s

> I believe we should decriminalize offering of bribes

I too would like to erode confidence in our public servants.

It's not a popular opinion to share online due to how ingrained food choices are into our lives (memories, communion, celebratory meals, etc), but if this development concerns you I highly recommend exploring a plant-based diet. I've been meat/dairy free for about a year now and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

> Who cares if there's a 30$ fee on a 1000+$ transfer?

Because Bitcoin wasn't originally designed for speculating on cryptocurrencies.

> Not sure if I would call it clever

What do you mean it's not clever? Sure, they applied a known weakness of non-constant data rate encoded messages to drone monitoring, but that's never been done before. What have you done that's so impressive that gives you the confidence to scoff at the accomplishment of the talented engineers and developers who created something brand new?

> Who said anything about Snowden?

You implicitly implied him.

> There are many different professions that are legal in their country of operation that the US will redirect international flights to US controlled locations to arrest you.

Which ones? Please provide sources of researchers who have had their flights redirected with the sole purpose of arresting the individuals.

> It seems like you can't accept that the US is a threat to some people's and nations sovereignty.

It seems like you struggle with providing facts and evidence as opposed to conjecture and hypotheticals.
