I agree with roughly half of what you're saying.
One glaringly bad and wrong bit of reasoning is this.

When movies are mastered for theatrical presentation, they’re mastered on projectors.

Yes, obviously. Theaters have projectors. It would only make sense to master those versions on projectors.

But that's not the master you get on consumer Blu-ray or streaming. Those masters are color graded on Sony dual layer LCDs with HDR and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratios. Because most home screens are LCD or OLED.

I go probably twice every three weeks.
I love going to the movies.

Again that wasn't really an adaptation.
Like the movie, it was more Inspired by the books.
Unlike the movie, the show was fantastic! I've watched it several times.

An actual adaptation of Jumper, directed by Daren Aronofski.

Edit: The whole series really. With 4 years between Jumper and Reflex, then 17 years before Impulse and Exo are made back to back. Doing it that way all the actors will age properly.

They do it once, a couple times a year, when they have a sale on.

Increased tariffs, aren't going to compensate for the loss of the other taxes they cut. On balance it's still lower taxes, just not for the poor.

Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values. I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.

They have nothing in common with the traditional platform of the Republican Party - smaller government, lower taxes, economic/fiscal responsibility, family values, religious values, etc.

Well they are still all in on lower taxes, and traditional religious family values.

Not automatically, no.
But when a company roles out lots of new products that not everyone uses but many do, without abandoning development in their existing products? Yah, that complain gets tired, and I feel I'm justified in dismissing it out of hand.

I find it strange that anyone can look at the current US government and think it's "Conservative". The Republican Party has clearly become a radical, right wing, extremist, authoritarian, revolutionary sort of ideology. It's obvious they want to completely remake the government and all of society. They're not looking to conserve anything anymore.

I remember when people thought offering VPN was a distraction from improving their email features.
This complaint is getting old.

Why do we advocate for, and pour hours of development into, ActivityPub rather than building clients which add a social layer to existing content distribution and communication protocols?

If clients built their own social layer, those would be limited to users of that client. If they opened up the social layer with an interoperable protocol, now you just made ActivityPub again.

I stick to my idea.
Each community should be able to decide for themselves.
