You are conflating cigarette damage with social media damage. Social media doesn't have to be toxic, just toxic behaviour is rewarded. This is more like "sniper in park causes ban for under 18s". You are keeping the bad thing

Apple offer LLMs, so they are already on board with the LLM arguments. I have many frustrations with LLMs, mainly around the type of user whos brain shuts down, but Apple would be walking a very fine line if they offer a service that they a

I don't see any information about adverts in your link. It talks about having a business WhatsApp number so customers can contact you.

That WhatsApp doesn't serve adverts? I do ask that question. And no, it's not obvious how a service is bad so if you use a different service then you are just as bad as unrelated people .

Not really. Their hats were different, and they didn't have as much shoulder flair. Plus the iconic painted blister pack that SW had on the breast. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Imperial_military_uniforms

So I know that its VMWare, so the fees will be eyewatering, but 85% reduction is really meaningless in this story. How much was Tottenham using? Did the 85% actually cover the cost of their new CTO coming in and switching platforms? It&#x27

Apple are hostile to everything CopyLeft. Why would they "chip in" here?
