He is undeniably awful on some issues, however if you look at everything that's happened under him, I think you'll be surprised how much, lets say his people, have started to pull the US out of a 40 year old Reagan shaped hole.

You have a bunch of people in here saying no, that its increased reporting and cameras, and that is likely true for some of it, but unfortunately there really was a sharp increase during the pandemic. I haven't kept up with the numbers since.

An argument takes 2 people. If it went for 45 minutes you argued just as much as them.

This is because Recipes aren't copyrightable (they can be patented hypothetically but no one is going to do that outside of a major brand), but the story blurb they write can be. Makes it much harder for some bot to pull out all of the recipes from a site and relist them.

Its advertising to the landlords. They don't care what you think.

If it succeeds, apple will pave the way, and then other options will emerge much like has happened with smartphones. There will be some FOSS version perfectly capable of blocking ads.
