  People keep talking about changing the constitution or law to protect against this, but it's almost a completely pointless effort. When one party controls all three branches, some decisively, it's impossible to stop them.

  I was thinking the same thing ever since they started their cancel campaign.

  Just canceled Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN ads free version. So basically their premium product. And I'm working on canceling my Chase Disney card. Because fuckem.

  Even having Charlie Kirk killed to distract people won't work!

  "The title is bullshit because it's true" is a really weird sentence to have written out, read, and thought "yup, totally works".

  Ironically, Trump's policies are really sticking it to these very people. Watching Kansas famers squeal as they get exactly what they voted for is the most baffling thing in the world. Which is why I've come to the conclusion that MAGA has run any ounce of intellect out of the GOP. They're fucking shocked when they touch the stove and get burned. Then turn around and do it immediately after.

  It's amazing how Democrats response to Republicans descent into incompetent theocratic totalitarianism is a "derangement syndrome". By every measure, we're fucked already and you're pushing for more.

  Wifi access through a hotspot, you ignorant fuck. Not phones. Are you going to argue that the Internet isn't useful for education?

  You stupid fuck. Infant mortality is up in Red States as the direct result of the new abortion laws and have always been higher in Republican States because you all are arrogant fuckwits that despise science, expertise and competence. You don't give a fuck about infants, you're happy to let them die to achieve your political goals. Fucking ghoul.

  Oh yeah. This 100%. Watching the industrial and utility industry absolutely lose their shit when SBOMs were mandated by utilities and agencies on 20 year old products that are still in production.

  I’m also wondering what the basis for that habit is. Does Google push them toward it somehow, like by giving download links for Chrome when people access their sites with another browser?

  Nailed it in one.

  I actually use both Edge and Chrome. One for work, and one for personal, and really have no problem with either because the underlying technology is the same and MS is no longer playing the proprietary extensions game. Which, to this day, causes me no end of process pain and strokes my seething hatred of MS. Which, to honest was softening up until 18 months ago or so...but they have really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory there. And if it sounds like I'm a Google fan, but that's getting farther and farther from the truth. I'm certainly balls deep in their ecosystem, but I'm learning to loathe them as well for having rh honor of paying them money for them to treat me like absolute shit. The question is, what to do.

  That is certainly adding to the frustration, but it's far from the biggest issue. Apple has no problem convincing people to drop real money every year on phones, by making them want it. In contrast, look at the Windows phone. Allegedly a good technology, and would have offered a complete package for Microsoft to push in the enterprise environment. But absolutely nobody took them seriously, on their THIRD smartphone platform that complete abandoned all previously developed software. Again. So the default enterprise compute setup is a Windows desktop with an iPhone. What a fucking mess.

  Absolutely nothing will come of this, because all Republicans are losers, especially Congress.

  Chromes weakness on iOS is Apples anticompetitive behaviour. It's built on Webkit, not chromium. And the rest of your post elaborates on one of my sentence. Customers are so fucking tired of MSs bullshit that they won't even try Edge. Also, the few times I've found people using something other that Chrome, it was from them asking how to "get Google on their phone". And they very specifically meant the search. Google has done some shady shit, but Chrome has been a wildly successful solution to the massive fuckery that came before.
