Power corrupts, and concentrations of power attract the corrupt.
It can be subtle, such as business deals just favorable enough an impartial observer would say they're not bribery. The not-bribe leads to a not-favor. The lines become blurred.
I see no reason to believe that it is.
I find it useful when outside the USA to be able to communicate with American luddites who refuse to install messaging apps.
Messages between two Apple devices are safe, and messages between two Android devices are safe, but messages between an Apple device and and Android device are vulnerable.
This is not very accurate. Some Android devices come with Google Messages, which will use Google's encrypted version of RCS if the carrier supports it. People who don't know what all of that means should not assume their messages are encrypted.
What they probably can do is issue an update that lets owners point it at third-party servers, and publish the API. They might even be able to publish the source code, though there's a chance they don't own all of it.
Linux is a kernel which is often bundled with proprietary components. Android, for example uses the Linux kernel. The whole desktop operating system you seem to be thinking of is a Linux distribution.
There have been many Linux distributions with proprietary components over the years. SUSE's YaST configuration tool used to be proprietary, for example. There's probably something current along the same lines, but there's not much demand for semi-proprietary desktop Linux.
People who currently use drugs illegally are also forbidden from having guns in the USA. Hunter Biden was convicted of the related offense of lying about it on the background check form.
Yes. I'd rather not be, but most people I know in person use it, and do not regularly view or share content using anything else in a one-to-many format.
What I won't do is install any of their mobile apps or regularly use their chat. When people try that, I reply hours later using something else.
There's concern about it where the content has utility beyond art, such as academic research and raw datasets.
That's not to day art isn't useful, but much of what people value about it is originality.
Does it count if I already know whiskey is bad for me?
That's comparable to alcohol. I'd be good with that.
The illegality of production and sale makes the drugs far more likely to be adulterated or a concentration other than advertised, which kills people. Prohibition causes black markets, which leads to people resolving disputes through violence since they can't use the courts.
Legalization would make all of that go away, almost instantly.
I fear if I carry anything else today, I'll lose it or cut myself with it.

I’m giving away the Nitecore MH10 v2 I reviewed. I can ship it anywhere in the USA or EU, but EU winners will have to wait until mid September. This is a basic, beginner-friendly flashlight that can accept almost all 18650 and 21700 batteries.

Caught a cute moment on film. Look at that balance!

I don't know where you live, but it is not normal for prospective employers to ask for your medical history most places, and is legally questionable if not outright banned under the anti-discrimination laws of many countries.
