   Yeah, what the hell haha. How someone can think “I propose that 27 countries are absorbed into the USA” is reasonable is beyond my comprehension.

   I think you could achieve this if you used GitHub for auth, create tailnets on two GitHub Orgs and it’ll ask you which one you want to login to with the net being org-name.github.

   You have these the wrong way around. LIFO is a stack, FIFO is a queue.

    I’m only one voice but being in my mid-30s (so younger demographic I’d hope?) I don’t have a problem with the royals; I’m no royalist but nor do I seek their demise. I think most of my friends would fall into a similar category too.

    To be fair, the Wikipedia page for Scouse identifies it as a dialect (with an accompanying accent) too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouse

    I've had to disable it since a recent update as it broke the "!g" bang which I still occasionally find useful. It seems to insist on intercepting Google searches even when I explicitly use Google. It also ruins the UX of the

    One of my main complaints (aside how bad the iOS extension is, but I guess Apple can shoulder most of the blame there) is that I often get US storefronts despite using the "United Kingdom (GB)" region. How odd! I even get amazon.c

    I don’t think there are many birds, aeroplanes, nor hot air balloons in LEO? Are there?! (I doubt clouds too, but meteorological phenomena perhaps?)

    Immensely useful, I assume you mean - but you missed a word! Useless commentary aside, could you give some examples of what you’re talking about in your second paragraph? Sounds like the sort of thing I’d enjoy reading!

    How is this bug manifesting? Do you mean literally unusable or something less serious but irritating? I ask because I have English and Spanish keyboards on my phone and don’t think I’ve noticed anything.

    Is it not my choice though? When I buy an iPhone knowing how the App Store and their walled garden work? If anything, I could argue Android users pushing for more openness are invaliding my choice!

    That doesn’t seem like something to legislate over to me though. “Your hardware is too good, you’re going to have to change the associated business model”? Madness, shouldn’t the onus just be on Android phone manufacturers to up their game?

    Indeed, so why do they care what I can/can’t install on /my/ phone? I don’t need someone to fight my battles for me, and I certainly don’t need someone to fight their battles for me!

    I didn’t mean “they can’t afford it” jealousy, but from my experience the quality of apps on iOS is significantly higher than Android, that’s what I was going for; jealous of the “polish”, if you will. Then again that could be because I’m u

    Absolutely spot on, and it really does seem like it’s always Android users moaning about Apple’s business model. Why can’t you and I just live happily in our walled garden without zealots of open access ruining it for us? It truly boggles m

    Maybe it’s because I’m flying without caffeine but I’m struggling to grok your point. Could you elaborate? In response to your last paragraph, I gave that example as it seems obvious, to me at least, that a premium piece of jewellery is mor
