Yeah, and we really need to clamp down in this bullshit or it will continue to get worse.

At this point, I don't want many changes out of my operating systems. I want stability, consistency, and efficiency. They already do pretty much everything I would want them to.
I, too, have an opinion on the capital gains tax. It should be taxed at the same rate as income. We can let them keep the exception on the first half million in profit because I'm feeling nice today.
Twitter sent me to Mastodon. Reddit sent me to Lemmy. Windows has sent me to Linux. These things are basically promoting the better versions of themselves by becoming shittier versions of themselves.

Well an apples to apples comparison would be a rusty or dirty gun, which is way more likely to simply not work than it is to malfunction in a dangerous way. A rusty old car has multiple failure points that are dangerous to people who aren't the driver.
As for user competence, I would love to see firearms training become a standard class option in high school, just like driving is now. I'd rather we had a society where neither were necessary, but we're not anywhere close to that ideal on either front.
A janky car is a danger to others on the road, not having the proper paperwork for your gun only puts yourself in legal danger.
This is the same crowd that will try to claim code is not a crime. Now, I agree with that statement, but at least I'm logically consistent and believe possession of a firearm should be perfectly legal.
Use ecosia. It's the same search engine except it respects your privacy and plants trees with you as revenue.
It's just sort of this black splotch that never goes away.. Saved you guys some time.
Almost certainly the answer. Same reason they just hobbled their "ok Google" by not letting you access it with the screen off anymore. They're going to switch engines and they want to reintroduce the same features all over again but make it feel like an upgrade.
Oh yeah that's right. I forgot about Buy, Borrow, Die.
I agree, though I'd have to do something thinking about the exact right way to implement a tax on that kind of behavior.
