I understand the issue, but what happens when in fact the prosecutor acts in bad faith, is dishonest, corrupt or is weaponized against you? No recourse? Like the police, where their word is truth? The job shouldn’t be cushy, you shouldn’t e

I noticed Orion is very very buggy, and I found it odd from a revenue oriented company. I was desperately looking for a way out of the chromium world and also avoiding Firefox, so when I found Orion I thought this is where I'd settle a

This happened to me with Twilio/Sendgrid. I used their email service on all my projects, never a spammer, only transactional. In fact I used it so little that I think they decided I was not worth it. So someday they closed my account.
