LineageOS does not have certification (i.e. does not meet Google's quality standards) to install the Google applications. Manufacturers who want to ship with Google Apps have to take everything up a notch to get the certification, whic

I don't know a way to enforce this, but what may help is knowing that by default, you can push into the PR branch even if it is from someone else's fork: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/gi

Yes, I have. "Every Western institution" is obviously an hyperbole, I wouldn't consider that ignorant. I started skimming the reply-article at some point, as it seemed to me like most nitpicks the author had might be correct,

Sadly, since 9.4, that does not clear the XID anymore, see that blue box here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/routine-vacuuming.html#V...
