I guess my grandparents who were “liberated” by Stalin’s army were also paid off by US propaganda?

EU version has review process built-in. Anyways it’ll be hard to get more outdated than lightning.

Nope

Chinese company is buying Polish company. Where’s the place for FCC opinion here?

That’s really weird explanation on part of CF CEO, as just after DNS request you usually connect to the site which address you requested and site gets a lot more details including full IP address anyway.

If by “responsibly” you mean strip customers of privacy under old story of protecting children then sure.

Why are you manipulating people?

It was done many times for Americans if it’s so important to you. Two years into war and Russian trolls still cannot get their propaganda straight.

Would you prefer SO to be paid?

Leaked emails indicate, they use iMessage to actively lock down users in their walled garden. This is area with literally zero innovation (or even regression) for past decade. At least.

Giving money to Apple basically equals to strangling innovation in exchange for getting (sometimes or even rarely) marginally better UX in boring, well explored areas.

Also once you are bought into their ecosystem you are stuck with some mediocre products like iPhone, because if you want alternative, you have to throw away watch, tv and speakers and then redo entire home automation due to lack of elementary interoperability.

In general I strongly prefer open source, because lots of propertiary software will try to vendor lock you and then extract money from you, when it’s hard to escape for you.

In this case however I can change back to Connect or other any second, so amount of control this program has is extremely minimal and experience in exchange is better.

Informed choice is better than picking and following dogma, because dogma doesn’t work in some cases.
