You're oversimplifying things. If the evil overlord (tm) demands to build weapons of mass destruction, is the proud engineer with a family of 5 who designs them innocent?

Once it is an organization, yes, that's the whole point. Right now it is still an individual, that's the point I was trying to make.

No, you buy 3 AK's. Infinite money glitch.

Swype keyboards are a godsend.

I have my doubts that a Republic of Sinaloa and the Grand Dutchy of Jalisco are going to work out.

A fresh install of ME was typically fine, the live update usually fucked things up big time.

I'd compare the Windows 11 disaster to Windows 8; only that they released 8.1 in relatively short succession, with most issues actively fixed.

Someone is still in charge of the git account. No matter how many commits there are being made, unless the owner of the repo approves to merge them, it's not happening.

And sure, someone could create a fork that includes their changes if they aren't being merged, but then this separate fork might at some point lose compatibility with the original software. And on a purely semantic note, this fork wouldn't be the original mastodon either.

I agree that 1.5 milhouse is quite a lot.

They are not necessarily the same people, I just maintained the general approach to contacting new folks just like I did back in school, and so far it's working out nicely.

Why is that impressive? On older Android version it was force installed at some point, and since android 6 or 7 it comes bundled with the OS and can't be disabled.

I call them up to just hang out, just like I did 20+ years ago. Virtually unchanged. Having a reason always adds the pressure of needing to be prepared for whatever. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to do jack shit, but still want company. Luckily my friends all aged very gracefully, so we all have plenty of time next to work and family commitments in our 40s.
