And 15 yachts, a small mall, two movie theaters in his summer property, 5 garages, 50 lambos for the garages... List goes on and on. So much material and prosperity gathering dust and rust at the whims of the greedy and selfish.

Sit here. Panic. Hope to not die, become imprisoned, etc. Look around at my fellow "citizens" who are enjoying what they've voted in despite the affects it will surely have on themselves. Etc. Pretty much what I would've guessed, honestly.

I don't believe you can say that without adequately providing evidence and financial breakdowns. Not saying you're wrong, but given that developers even in the EU where alternative app markets are allowed still publish to the apple app store, I think that it's likely more fair than you realize. The cost to do all of what they provide for a $100/yr dev license + 30% pro-bono is immense. Even the least used applications with the smallest budgets receive state of the art infrastructure, toolkits, and security review as well as a bevy of other apple provided resources. It's the same for other marketplaces as well. Steam for example provides marketing, development guidance, server hosting, and a wide variety of other non-trivial non-free to provide services for their share of the cut.

It pays for the development of system apis, update infrastructure, software deployment infrastructure, software development sdks and toolkits, among a bunch of other very expensive to maintain infrastructure. There's the argument to be made to force them to allow competition, but I don't think you can call it robbery from an informed 10000 foot view because everything they provide is extremely expensive and extensively technical to host/construct on your own.

I enjoyed it personally. Felt very easy to watch and the cinematography was fun.

Tesla doesn't have traditional sales staff. They're more like showroom managers. All you'd be doing is giving them foot traffic that makes them more attractive to passerbys.

Russian oil wouldn't replace the gap. It's not the right type of oil for our refineries. It's much more likely we start pumping it from federal land reserves in Alaska at double the pace.

This needs to be global. If we're going to act like Russia, we deserve sanctions like Russia.

Please keep it up! The US economy needs to feel significant pain if we're to wake up from this ketamine coma or whatever the fuck has happened.

That's not even accounting for the shit show that was grandpa Biden refusing to step down. Dude was clearly half a brain out the door, Fumbled hard or a planned loss who knows but agent orange had the election handed to him when democrats refused to do anything about Biden and the massive amount of disinformation. They had 4 whole damn years.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of open source. This is something someone made for the community out of the goodness of their heart and a desire to create. You can build on top of it or use it as a base and completely remake it if you want, but they're not making money off this... So your attitude towards them and what they're offering to everyone for free is honestly quite rude and entitled.
