There are enough mundane explanations for why a satellite can, in fact, burst into 100 pieces.

Law is more complicated than quoting bits of text that you like. You actually have to consider other texts (the fourteenth amendment made the bill of rights applicable to states) and case law (Everson v. Board of education confirms that states and school districts can't support specific religious activities).

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The scenario you describe is so far from reality that it's hard to take as something other than a creative writing exercise. Israel is not existentially threatened at all. The IDF is far better equipped than all the other countries in the region and Israel was just in the process of normalizing relations with some of its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia. All the military support from the USA isn't saving anyone, it's just funneled there to keep the military industrial complex happy and kill Palestinian children as a byproduct.

If you forget all the death and destruction caused by this war, then yes. I'm sure it's very profitable.

The Google Play Store has long been the bastion for safe and worry-free app downloads

It's nice that the article starts with this blatent lie, so that you know everything that follows is just regurgitating Google's marketing.

Even ignoring that most of the apps in the play store are unreviewed proprietary spyware sending all their data back to Google, there have been many instances of obvious malware being distributed through the play store. It seems like they are trying to sweep that under the rug.

The most common physical attacks will be you misplacing your device or some friend/burglar/cop taking it. FDE works great in those scenarios.

RCS is walled off by design, so that users are dependent on Google and their phone carrier. If they wanted an open standard they would have adopted something like XMPP.

You're unironically arguing that "might makes right" lmao get fucked techbro

 

The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
