What country are you talking about?

Israel has actual protests against the government ongoing. It’s not clear if Netanyahu will manage to win the next election.

There are no protests in Russia at all and elections are a farce.

It’s about fame, power, adoration, and legacy.

Great points. Especially putting in more memory can get you very far.

Database optimization? Nah, just put in 1 TB of RAM to keep the whole DB in memory at all times.

Yes, can’t combine it with windowed mode. I would love to able to simply float one window, so it’s always on top.

I run iPad OS 26 on a 2018 iPad Pro and it works well. A current base iPad should be able to run this just fine.

Can your Mac still be booted into target disk mode? Then you can connect it to another Mac and install from there.

It’s still bad. This is the worst UI Apple has designed in a long time.

It helps somewhat, but is also ugly.

Apple does not build large scale infrastructure networks and keep them backwards compatible for decades. It’s a totally different business.

A bigger battery also means you can use your phone for longer for high energy tasks. Like recording video and a high brightness screen still eats battery pretty quickly.

Before smartphones, battery life of mobile phones was several days.

Oh you need this in garbage collected languages too, once you run into memory use issues. GC languages are notorious for being wasteful with memory, even when working correctly.

Yes, pretty much like UML diagrams. Who is responsible for allocating memory and freeing it.

Languages like Swift, Objective-C, C++ have features that mean you don’t need to do this by hand. But you have to tell the compiler if you want to keep and object around and who owns it.

See this article on Objective-C to see the different ways to manage memory this language supports.

OOP also has object ownership hierarchy structures. Which object owns which other object, is a question always worth answering.

Books, classes, and documentation can also be lacking for new tech.

Not all guards of concentration camps or SS members were prosecuted. That was also an unusual situation as the Nazi state and the SS ceased to exist and was occupied for decades.

No ICE agent will be prosecuted for conducting arrests or executing warrants against illegal immigrants. Once mass torture, inhumane treatment, extralegal executions and such start, it becomes more risky for them.

We don’t know how bad it will get yet or what comes after. In the best case Trump and republicans lose the next elections. A New Democrat government could simply downsize ICE and only prosecute a handful of bad apples. Remember what happened after Abu Ghraib.

The SS had many tasks. One of them was to protect the regime against coups from the army or SA.

At the beginning the SA also ran concentration camps, the SS took them over soon.

SS, Gestapo, and regular police were all under Himmler’s command via the Reichssicherheitshauptamt.

Gestapo was formed from preexisting secret political police forces.

Trumpism operates differently than Nazism. However Trump needs a loyal oppression infrastructure to build a more authoritarian system. ICE is on its way to enable that.

Lemmings in shambles.

Those microservices are a mix of a dozen programming languages across dozens of different versions.

JPEG2000 can do exactly what you want for decades.
