Composer has changed my life as well, so incredibly powerful. I love the patches package that can be combined with it, allows me to patch contrib modules or Drupal core in a controlled and transparent manner. This alone has changed my devel

But then equally why would these problems be solved by private enterprise? Why would using private enterprise allow these jobs are going to be done better? These are fundamentally unanswered questions in this thread. We would have even les

30% in physical shops is entirely different to 30% on digital shop fronts. In physical shops you have a lot more capital invested, because that 30% feeds the retailer, the landlord, the construction company whereas the mobile marketplace ha

I do agree with a number of your points but what about mobile phones built by Chinese companies, what about all apps developed in China. How do you know what is and isn't CCP controlled? Just seems a slippery slope, or how do you know

I've noticed a lot printing it with UK /Europe at the centre I guess it depends on what sphere of influence you live in. Now there's a map printing shop idea, centering the map on any country you choose.
