This is interesting, yes, but it seems immediately ... odd to me. Do we use rubber to manufacture tires because the frictional coefficient between rubber and asphalt is established rapidly due to asphalt sweating? No, it's because the

This isn't even remotely true. Years ago I signed up for AL, and the situation was exactly as the OP described in "real life": you had to be connected to get connected. Revenue does not matter. Or rather, did. I don'

Yes, but: 1. The UI is horrible and not amenable to sufficient customization. Xfce, bspwm, and i3 are all substantially better from a user experience and getting-things-done standpoint. 2. The availability of tooling for basically everyth

My point is that Gab will easily be able to demonstrate that Twitter is in violation of the Play Store's own policy - the very policy which is the ostensible cause of the Gab app's removal. Not being a lawyer, I don't know wh
