Read all four books. I have read the series now. Perhaps 3x in the last 25 or so years since I discovered it.

The Fall of Hyperion is 100% a recommendation. The Endymion books are somewhat controversial. But I love them.

Photographers are it an obvious term to search for on maps. “Photo studios” sure. But event/wedding photographers are a google search not a maps search.

You miss the bigger picture. The shit journalism and propaganda are still free - funded by … other means . That is why magazine have tried to be free in the internet.

You’re also operating with the wisdom of hindsight. No one knew how to handle internet publishing. We all learned together.

It’s expensive to be on strike. Also for the union and its members. They are making sure they do not lose the war of attrition.

As does Windows and Mac. The both have states that are “asleep” but connected to the internet. Whether they will keep downloading - it’s not a thing I have tested.

Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.

On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.

Precisely. Nothing in Texas is supposed to work as advertised. This is to further hunt poor people. Ideally brown ones. Glad I left that rotten state.

See that is the opposite of the goal here. This will be a whip on poor people. Making the fine tied to your income would punish the people writing this bill they cannot have that !

Same.

Seems to violate TOS of both app stores and likely a few laws in key markets.

But Elon never gave a hoot.

There’s bound to be either an government funded animal control or private animal removal service in your area. You can search of the public service first. They can tell you if there willing to handle this. And if not can likely point you in the direction of the private service.

Or are you asking for options other than calling animal control?

You mean like when you visit a Google service (Gmail, Google, Maps ...) on a non Chrome browser it bugs incessantly to switch?

It's pervasive and it stinks, but it's not Microsoft. It's our current capitalist gestalt.
