The F35 is an amazing aircraft though, cancelling the order would probably hurt you more than them.

Yeah, I think the phone is what sunk him.

It would absolutely be used as evidence in your favour by your defence though. It’s not conclusive, but it helps.

Because we kinda deserve it a lot of the time.

Which is part of the reason the burden of proof is on them.

Are you seriously suggesting a police force will not secure a murder suspect’s phone as part of their enquiries?

Or that, if they didn’t, this would work against them in court later?

Do you not understand the concept of a defence attorney? It’s not just the police that decide what is and isn’t evidence.

Most users neither know nor care what that is.

I did say private individuals, Outlook is more of a corporate product.

Surely they’re well into the twenties as to how many times this has happened?

YouTube should be fixing their buggy mess of a YouTube app, what a disaster. Every change they make, makes it worse.

There are people who literally shovel congealed fat out of sewers, that’s definitely a shit job.

They get paid a ridiculous amount though.

They burnt down an entire city block when George Floyd was killed.

If enough people are pissed off, there’s very little the authorities can do, and soldiers don’t like firing on civilians one bit.

Besides, law enforcement and military are funded by the taxes the working class paid.

I’m aware. Do you think these guys want to be martyrs?

That really nails it, I think. Tech is a hobby for some, a means to an end for the vast majority.

I’ve used my share of free software. Some of it worked well, but it always felt clunky, and just never as straightforward to use as a paid product.

But sure, I couldn’t possibly have reached that conclusion on my own, it’s obviously the marketing.

Christ this is such a Lemmy take.

The other option is users just not using tech at all.

I’ve said this before here, but techy people vastly overestimate both the ability and the patience of the typical user, and it’s the reason so few people use FOSS products.

Products from big tech aimed at private individuals are designed to be as simple to use as possible, which is why they’re so popular.

It will be like Russia, where they make nuclear threats on a weekly basis, but know they would be obliterated if they ever actually used them.

Having said that, you’re right about Israel having nukes being nothing to cheer about.

Why Hinge? Are you thinking of Grindr?

Also, dozens of people isn’t enough to make a significant blip.
