Good move, they were a clown and pointing out that they were arguing entirely in bad faith is correct. They did it under the guise of being far-leftist, but as a far-leftist myself, I have a hard time believing it was for anything other than pissing people off. Hopefully they can go practice being happy instead of doom-posting on niche Internet forums.

I’m curious as to how this manifests when advanced security is enabled. Advanced security on iCloud is supposed to make photos and many other services e2ee.

Yes. He isn’t concerned with the concepts of lying or telling the truth or even being coherent and rational. He simply states whatever he needs to at a given moment to elevate himself or give himself an advantage. I don’t think he goes through the rational pause most people do before they lie. He doesn’t think about it at all.

Someone paid it. Not entirely convinced it was directly from Trump.

Ok you defined this way better than I did.

The definitions are tricky based on how you read them, but no. Your role in society is to perform labor (I'm assuming), and the fruits of that labor are then forfeited to those above you for a wage. Thus they have the capital and would belong to the "capitalist class."

Yeah, they’re not leaving. The only way they would leave is if the service were to be physically shut down. Pretty sure you could make everyone watch 1 minute long ads on app open and they would still stay.

Not a lot to gain by arguing with the dog that shits on your lawn.

Taking our heads out of the sand is a start. I would go into more detail but I checked your profile and I don’t think I’ll convince you of anything so we will just leave it here. Not in the mood for an argument over the same shit that keeps happening in this country.

This makes me incredibly sad. We can't have shit in this country due to pathetic and incompetent governance. What's worse is that it will take a generation of time for us to dig out of this hole even if we start moving 100% in the right direction, today. It makes me sick.

I’ve largely stopped using them. I only buy from them if I cannot find what I need elsewhere which is quite rare.

Come to the midwest of the USA. You'll find all of that shit out here, too, if you know where to look.
