Amen. Also, forcing us to tie our local OS into their cloud nonsense is a travesty. Hearing that they will soon disallow updates to those of us that don't capitulate to their cloud-account ransom has kick-started my efforts in formally moving away from Windows. I'd rather lose most games than get a cloud account.

I see what you did there ;)

"Last month, Meta-owned WhatsApp said it would join Apple’s legal challenge, in a rare collaboration between the Silicon Valley rivals".

Apple makes home computers, mobile devices, AV equipment and productivity/multimedia software.

Meta makes social media platforms, and vr headsets. What exactly makes them "rivals"? WhatsApp vs iMessage? They're two big companies in the same sector, sure, but do they really compete against each other in a major way?

This might be a bit of an oversimplification, but, if a bank robbery was committed and it came to light that an individual or party was the financier, they too would be investigated and likely charged.

In this case, Black Rock funds war crimes in China and Israel. Shouldn't they too be held accountable, as the financier??

What's so different between this and the other sites that already do this?

Shoulda never sold Virtual Game Station, they'd hold the gaming market in their palm today

Gen Z as well, I'm not excluding anybody in this

If you're an American, you're living in the "before times". You need to take action to preserve your freedom, or you'll find yourself in an Orwellian hell hole wondering why you didn't do something when it was much easier to take political action.

This is a pathetic example of what happens when entire generations are attention-starved from never not having a screen in front of them...

Fun fact: since an SVG is technically code and not a binary image file, LLMs are capable of writing them! I tested this with Claude Sonnet 4 and within 7 minutes I was able to describe what I wanted the animated logo to do, and it delivered the SVG faithfully. Even embedded it into the README.md

This isn't reddit. Please kindly take your anger, ad homonims, and bad-faith arguments back over there. I'm sorry you had a bad day but nobody in this thread caused it, so take a deep breath.

Edit: before you -1 this out of homophobia, ask yourself what drives you to do so.

Yeah this is clearly another way that they're trying to make the LGBTQ+ community invisible and in this case make it illegal to discuss anything about them. It's a mask-off attack on about %5 of the population. As a non-American looking in closely, I lament the terrible environment my American LGBTQ+ peers find themselves in at home.

Agreed, there's a reason most of the world uses it.

Is there a strong reason people still support HP's printers after so many horror stories?
