An offline version of Wikipedia would be handy though.

The Tesla comparison would work better this way: while you’re driving to another Tesla owner’s place, you’re having a smooth ride, no bumps, car works as expected. Then you put your other friends address into into the navigation and the radio switches to noisy FM and one of the headlights starts to flicker. It’s lock-out because no non-iphone user can join that club. It’s not lock-in, because every iphone user could easily switch to one of the “cross-platform” messangers. Not that I like Google. They’re both sh*t. But just opening up your infrastructure for others doesn’t mean you have to develop and maintain apps for other OSes.

Wikipedia sais WhatsApp was released 2009, two years before iMessage. So the idea wasn’t new and they most likely didn’t lock out Android users by accident.

Once you slightly climb the career ladder, vocabulary turns into marketing bs. Suddenly you most not say “problem” anymore. They’re “opportunities” or “challenges”. So at that level you don’t get “fired” because that would sound bad for the next company you’re going with. You’re looking for new challenges elsewhere. Leaving behind a dumpster fire like in this very case.

Du musst verstehen, man kann nicht für jedes Gesetz den Schutz der Kinder als Begründung nehmen. Die sind im Moment schon durch die Untergrabung der Verschlüsselung belegt. Außerdem haben diese Kinder nicht die FDP gewählt, sind also selbst Schuld dass diese sie nicht vertritt. Am wahrscheinlichsten hat aber einfach ein Pro-Zigaretten-“Lobbyverein” ein paar Scheinchen springen lassen.

The “effective due” is probably even negative because the extra money they’ll fight for will be more than the due.

Das hat bei der Fußball WM ja schon so gut geklappt.

No trash, happy people, everyone minding their own business. That must really piss of the conservatives.

He might have convinced himself already. That doesn’t change the facts though.

Usually a “call to arms” is where freedom of speech ends.
