Hes a bit annoying at times and he’s

The opposite, actually, they’re the only candidates, assuming you meant Stein and Claudia, that do not have any of that in their policies.

That’s cute but to get those laws you have to vote third party and hope they don’t get killed or bribed before passing said law. I don’t see that happening until long after the US collapses, so in the meantime it makes more sense to understand how not to be a victim to a fascist government.

There are alternatives to all of that. If you’re going to do potentially illegal acts, and you don’t want to rot in jail for the next however many decades until a scotus exists to set you free, take basic operational security into account and don’t bring the corporate tracking device that cops can freely tap into.

Depending on what state you’re in, you admitted to fraud or possession of stolen goods, so maybe don’t admit that. That aside yeah some carriers can fail to submit to the US Block Status but generally those instances are rare given the activating carrier can be legally liable.

No, it’s nationwide, all carriers and mvnos are signed on to the US Block Status since IMEI became standard. It’s a separate list from the global GSMA and not all carriers in the US report to the GSMA like they should,but if a device is reported lost or stolen in the US it cannot be activated by a US carrier until resolved.

Not even unlocked phones can be used on another (us) carrier if reported stolen, all IMEIs associated with the device are blacklisted across all legal carriers in the country.

Content discovery is indeed YouTubes only value, otherwise you’d just watch content on a better platform dedicated to the creator you wanted to watch like their patreon

Only watching videos from creators you already watch.

That defeats the entire purpose of YouTube and other algorithm-based content discovery and publishing services.

Someone wanted Microsoft office for Linux? If you’re going the spyware proprietary office route why not just googles office suite that’s able to be used by pretty much any internet connected device?

Yes there is. The wobbly table theroem. https://people.math.harvard.edu/~knill/teaching/math1a_2011/exhibits/wobblytable/

No, people fleeing their country instead of improving it tend to be liberals and other such conservatives.

Wikipedia is not a source, and your article does not support the claim that Apple, the most profitable tech company, is heavily subsidized by tax payers.

You didn’t cite a source for your ridiculous claim, I don’t need to cite a source in my correction. Reported for incivility though.

That’s nice, but in regards to spacex musk just repeats what the company managers put out.

I’m pretty sure Apple getting your tax money is something your politicians wanted, not Apple. They’re one of the wealthiest companies on the planet and have more cash on hand than any other company as a matter of policy.

Moreover, Apple is a capitalist entity, not a state owned entity, they go where they can sell. That’s not really the US anymore. China has more middle class tech consumers than the north American continent has people.

Ireland, thanks to it’s tax haven status, is home to most US tech companies. https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/7/22715229/ireland-status-tax-haven-google-facebook-apple

Every good nation is politically hostile to the US, it’s history of genocide and unrestrained war makes it a social pariah that is only tolerated by countries so that they don’t get invaded.

That being said Apple is headquartered in Ireland like all multinational tech companies. It was founded in the US, but legally it’s an Irish company.

Also that no regard for IP thing mostly affects foreign IP, you can just apply for a Chinese patent and get legal protection there, China just doesn’t trust other countries patent and IP protection processes, which is especially fair for the US, the land of patent and copyright trolls.
