Screen shots aren't articles. And that one is 2 days old.
Here's a followup article with more details.

They really are.
It's kind of scary.

There is a very fine, very subjective line, between lame and funny.

TV news is dying anyway.
Do you really know anyone under the age of 50 who gets their news from television?

This is a nightmare. A very real step toward a fascist authoritarian dictatorship. Not not because of TV news. Because of what might happen to all other news outlets. He's has the biggest social platforms bowing to him already.

That's why it needs to he stopped. Not because of loosing a medium that's dying anyway. But because he wants to control all news media. We can't let him have any.

Yes! It's fantastic. Way better than it has any right to be. I would love to see more in this world.

Because it was intentionally written to be vague in places. As time passes, and sensibilities change; This allows current people to debate and reinterpret what those passages mean for them.

Those are "Cage Free".
I'm not sure what technically counts as "Free Range". I think if the building has a small chicken size door, so at least theoretically a few could manage to go outside, that might count.

Kagi says the risk is pretty high.

Stop using the dynamic sound. That will help.

You could go to your local Library. That's always an option.

That's got nothing to do with what sideloading means.

And the risks are very overblown.
While it's possible, it's extremely rare.

Mostly because the potent target pool is so small. Bigger potentials for bad guys if they trick app stores into approving trojan horse apps, because everyone thinks app stores are safer.

This isn't North Korea.
Even China and Russia can't fully block things.
Our networks aren't nearly as controlled as theirs.

Not quite. You don't need any app store at all.
You literally download an APK file from a website or anywhere, then install it directly. Could even be a friend with a thumb drive. Doesn't matter how you get it, it's just a file.

On Android you can download apps (.APK files) from the web, and install them without any app store.

Didn't know that

I believe Google and Apple are to be fined if they don't remove the app from their stores.

We don't have the ability to nationally block the domains and IPs, so current users will still be able to access it. So you shouldn't need a VPN.

Android users could side load the app if they want.

Smart enough to realize it, but not smart enough to not say it.
Rather than write a public letter pointing it out, he could have just let it happen.

When your enemy is helping you, don't tell them.
It might encourage them to stop.

Good idea or not is debatable.
But at the SCOTUS level it's just about weather or not the government has the power to decide if and how a Corp can operate in the US. Which it obviously does, since Corporations aren't people and have no rights.

Given the pro Corp majority on the court, this decision is a little surprising to me. I'd be shocked if they made the same call for a domestically owned Corp.

Yes. Exactly like that. Cell phones are insulin. They both do exactly the same thing.

Teachers and staff can do that at least as well as any student. It's a non-issue.

Kids really don't have any need for cell phones in school. Maybe those who do have a real need, can drop them at the office each morning, and pick them up again at the end of the day. Perhaps some other exception I can't think of. But certainly no need for students generally.
