It's fine to be proud of being arrested for doing something you believe in. Like getting arrested for sitting at a Woolworths counter to protest segregation.
It's an entirely different thing to be proud that you got arrested for failing to show up in court or for drunk driving.
Lets not make this out to be like it's Kerberos (more complicated than rocket science)... Making available another, region-specific version of your app isn't difficult. It's just the developer equivalent of an extra one-time TPS report (you have to setup/modify some build scripts and make some additional tests).
It's the equivalent of having builds for .rpm and .deb and then adding a .AppImage build. It shouldn't be that big a deal for the Mozilla Firefox team.
In fact, I bet they're freaking excited at the prospect of being able to make a real build of Firefox for iOS.
You can’t have one rule for one group of people and different rules for everyone else.
"In the name of the greatest smartphone that have ever graced this earth, we draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and say separate rules now, separate rules tomorrow, separate rules forever." -Apple, probably
When any company sends out ethically questionable emails to a large group of employees someone always leaks it to the media. How could they possibly stop it without restricting when and where people can read their emails (while simultaneously preventing people from using their phones in the office or... memorizing things LOL).
The AI clone wars have begun.
The point of the law is to prevent things like someone surreptitiously changing their name right before they run for office. E.g. to the same name as another candidate.
It's all about transparency and preventing dirty election tricks. It was probably created long before the current slate of right wing transphobia
A woman who gets divorced and changes her name is exactly the type of situation that could be artificially manufactured in order to swing an election. For example, if she had the same name as a popular candidate/person (even elsewhere in the US!) before she got married.
It's not the cable that goes bad it's the connectors on the ends: They wear out.
No no you don't get it. The point is to hoard the movies. Not to watch them!
They're like Steam games: You collect more than you play.
Oh come on! They're software developers! The code they wrote three years ago is total shit and you (we) know it, haha.
Take the time to learn something new, today. It's practically what makes a software developer a software developer. If you're not learning a new language, engine, or technique pretty regularly you're going to have a hard time (eventually).
The reason why software developers reinvent the wheel so often is because we know that the old wheel is garbage. It at least, the way we used it was. After being a software dev for a few decades, looking at your old code should always give you a feeling of, "I could've done that better."
Yeah! Everyone stop using Microsoft products today! I'm serious.
I took this same advice in 1999. Been using Linux on my desktop ever since 👍
Just like with unity: You have to learn some new skills if you switch to something else but the benefits outweigh the costs. It's so much easier today than it was back then and this seems to be a universal truth: The sooner you switch off of any abusive platform the more quickly you'll reap the rewards.
Even better: Later, after everyone who didn't switch is bitching about the latest nonsense from their abusive vendor of choice you can rub it in their faces and be like, "I switched to Godot ages ago and I am so glad I don't have to deal with this kind of shit anymore." Just like how Linux users say similar things about the latest bullshit from Microsoft whenever it comes up in the news (which is often, which is why it's become a trope).
Even when the stock market crashes the rich don't get poor. They can seemingly lose ungodly amounts of money exceptionally quickly but even after all that they'll still be rich because being rich is a comparison: If everyone on a mountain falls down the ones at the top will still be there.
It's my humorous manipulation of famous quote by George Wallace regarding segregation in the US. Here's the original:
You can read all about his descent into racist madness here:

(It is quite interesting how he changed over time... Almost like regularly spending time with racists--who you view as close friends--can lead to absorbing racist views)
