Disclaimers: atheist, no (informed) opinion regarding GP's comment. From my outside perspective, Israel's leadership appears to have spent years deliberately conflating Judaism and Zionism.

Given your chosen quotes, I don't understand your confusion. The author explicitly acknowledges that Apple makes excellent hardware, and the desire to switch is driven solely by problems with the software (OS). > All this made me

It was erected surreptitiously in the dead of night. That does not imply state approval. As for who paid for it, I don't know, possibly the extremely successful and wealthy artist who created it. If you have any evidence to the contrar

No, you quoted some of the text. Hence my statement that you removed the context. If you read the full quote, it's clearly stating that you cannot opt-out of the update .

> Saying there is no opt-out is just false, they even provide the information on how users can opt-out. The article states that you can't opt-out of the update , which AFAIK is correct.

You deliberately took the second quote out of context, in order to (attempt to) refute it. Here's the quote, with context: > Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app wh

I'm a little confused by your comment. Insider trading is already illegal (this case proves it). If the problem is under-enforcement, then I agree that better enforcement is the fix. Banning gambling is a completely separate interventi

By all means elaborate. I can't imagine "don't have stupid ideas or write messy code" is going to make much difference.
