Microsoft certainly tries it's best to keep you locked into their ecosystem by making it inconvenient but not impossible to leave though that's not the real reason, it's security. Businesses and especially governments are scared of nation state hackers contributing malicious code to open source products and falsely assume it's safer to use closed source software because those incidents aren't public. There's so much great software out there I'd love to use and the first question I'm asked when I bring it up is can you prove China hasn't contributed code?

Yes, I'm comparing the threat level based on the maximum potential akin to the likes of "those apps". Permissions are straightforward and will protect users just like ad blockers, decentralized static frameworks (JavaScript/CSS/fonts), and clearing cookies. But on average users are not well informed and aren't considering permissions, add-ons, or even which browser or app they use so I compare based on the potential threat level.
Phone apps have access to significantly more data than a browser does, especially when people haphazardly agree to any and all permissions.
It's just an incentive to install the app, the amount of data being harvested and sold/traded is basically the new economy.
That depends on if the developer programmed an exception for this scenario what that exception does, otherwise it would likely just crash. As for the developer they'd just make another account for the bot to use, and likely try and figure out where they went wrong to avoid being banned again in the future.
Bots would likely figure it out quickly as they usually work on tandem with other bots boosting their own posts and comments which will fail if it can't find the other bots content.
Accounts are free and easy to make so if someone's banned they'll just make a new one and circumvent the ban. If you are shadow banned them you won't circumvent it.
Businesses shouldn't be allowed to purchase residential houses, they can do apartments but no family homes, even if it's split.
Political donations should be illegal except from a private civilian who must follow all rules and limitations. If a corporation thinks a specific politician is in their best interest the corporation's then the only option should be employees should be the ones to donate their personal money up to their limit and not funded from the company itself, a business or pact should have no sway in an election and should only be influenced by individual voters. That way the individual can decide if that politician is best suited for the country or just their business.
Yeah, but have you tried working retail?
I couldn't say as I'm not buying it, but it stands to reason if they are taking the effort to smuggle it that it's not for charity. Just checked the neared shop to me and it's $180-250 for an ounce of legal weed, I imagine the black market is significantly cheaper as I imagine there's little cost once you get get past the first harvest.
Illegal weed sells at reasonable prices while untaxed, legal weed is taxed and much more expensive. Until the price of legal weed makes illegal weed not worth the effort it will continue to be a problem. Even then they'll just switch to a different commodity.
Just the illuminate (third faction) is missing from Helldiver's 1, which I'm sure they'll add in the coming months as they continue to port over content from HD1. I wouldn't be surprised to find new content in the future that wasn't from HD1 so I think we'll see another faction or at the least new enemies.
