Think about it like this:
I can understand why they wouldn’t want to speak to cops; they might end up being the ones arrested or worse.
Hmmm…I smell a massacre. Seems to be the only way to back these bastards up.
The people who want a world where iPhones are like Linux by default don’t use iPhones; they use Linux phones.
The vast majority of us just want to have the ability to use our devices to run what we want when we want to. The App Store is a good, fine thing. I like that it exists and I don’t want it to go away.
But I don’t think it’s fair that Apple gets to tell me I can’t run emulators on my phone. It’d be like Ford telling me I can’t drive my car on an interstate or something. The whole concept is weird.
Let me own my device, please. I paid for this hardware; why am I not allowed to choose the software that runs on it?
Android handles this in what I think is a great way. By default, you can’t install 3rd party apps. You have to dig into your settings to enable that and then your phone is unlocked. I do think that’s bad for alternative app stores (but that’s a whole ‘nother problem) but the vast majority of people who seek apps that aren’t available in the phone’s App Store do so because they’re more technically minded and so don’t mind a more technical solution. If you go take a random Android user off the street, 9 times out of 10, they won’t even know you can install apps from outside of the App Store and that’s a good thing.
Apple loves to tout “security” and “efficiency” for why they don’t allow 3rd party apps and that’s so silly to me. If I want a less secure and less efficient phone so that I can use features Apple doesn’t like, that should be purely my decision to make. It doesn’t affect anyone else but me.

This happened to me at my old apartment randomly. After giving the correct directions for month, one day Google decided “no, you have to go to this OTHER road and walk through the alley!”
But of course, there was no alley.
That being said, I put in the request with Google Maps to fix it and it was fixed in about 3 weeks. Took 2 weeks to even figure out why all my deliveries were being delivered a street over, though.
You were a good boy. RIP.
It’s terrifying that the only way to win these days is to just never have been born. Even if you don’t play, someone you interact with online is and you get taken in that way.
All to sell you ads for things you don’t need or care about.
I’ve never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I’m very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it’s impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.
My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.
The most adorable robbers I’ve ever seen!
why is this so funny?
Probably exactly what the cat was saying!
I only use it for web stuff but W3Schools is usually pretty solid so I wouldn’t be mad having that as a first result.
