It doesn't seem ridiculous to me, I get where you're coming from. Only I'd say you've been misled. As others have pointed out, you can have both a walled garden store and an Apple curated store — and this is how Android

Google Podcasts, the app (and website?) is shutting down. It will no longer exist. Re-framing it as its UI moving somewhere else is a bit like if WhatsApp was to be shuttered and moved to Facebook Messenger, and you said "it's not

"Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024" isn't misleading, that's exactly what's happening. The fact that they're trying to force people onto YouTube Music isn't relevant for me.

You ever wonder why the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) gets thicker every time a drug company patents a new drug? Certain societal groups are particularly receptive to their bullshit (hint; us) and tear you to p

To be fair I was being somewhat obtuse. It's fairly obvious he's talking about Rupert Murdoch, but my point was to highlight that believing that big brother is watching us, means they don't even have to be watching us. OP cou

The biggest causes are: (a) Society not having caught up with the 21st century, where travelling to an office is not longer necessary (we'll get to production factories in a moment) (b) People wanting to live where everyone else lives

Why all the secrecy on your part though? I can't see any reason you wouldn't tell us all names involved.

I remember the first Android phone. It was small, and had a real keyboard. It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's cheaper to not have one, and they can get away with it because of the lowest common denominator co

I think the attack in all cases would require pointing DNS of gitprovider.net to their own server. This means they control DNS on that network, which means they're running it. What am I doing on a network I don't trust with a mach

No. Though I _would_ like to live in a world where there is true free market — i.e. not the way capitalism is practised in the U.S.A. When you don't regulate the market, you end up monopolies like Apple. Nobody is able to compete fairl
