People splutter with the "but their motto is 'protect & serve'" without ever asking "who"
Tangentism
I was reading a good blog the other day from a guy that runs his law form entirely from a FOSS stack from home & uses 'hugo' to generate flat html files from markdown for his blog & mkdocs for static files.

Typical foodie blog with having to read about her life story before getting to the actual recipe!
$3500 per episode sounds like she was going a bit overboard & could easily refactor her costs without sacrificing quality
And you're a bigger fool for thinking they're not.
They might be stupid. They're certainly incompetent but they most definitely have an ideology.
They often walk away saying how I've provided a new perspective, and that they weren't aware of something I said and it gave them something to think about, only to turn around the next day as if they hadn't heard a single word from me.
Classic example of the Gell-Mann amnesia
I saw some of it & the guy is barely coherent. If he came into work like that, I would have him breathalysed & drug screened!
"Plenty of space on pavement outside NY Hilton for other billionaires to take a snooze" might work!
He (allegedly) didn't get the ones we all wanted but he showed people the path and that puts the shits up the rest of them!
Western authorities have been harvesting data for a few decades from social media so any complaint that singles out Chinese apps doing the same is obviously rooted in sinophobia.
The fact you think my joking about racists doing that is pathetic shows which side of that assertion you fall.
That sinophobia isn't going to stoke itself!
He literally is a petulant spoilt brat nappy wearing trust fund kid with unresolved daddy issues.
That's still an ideology
