And trump wanted to buy $400 million worth of armored teslas. We like posts about teslas here, right?
beretguy··on The Amazon Appstore for Android devices will be discontinued on August 20, 2025
Completely unrelated and misleading comparison. A proper comparison to the issue with apps is if Amazon employee would walk into your house and physically destroyed CDs. CDs rotting is a force of nature, not corporate greed/incompetence.
beretguy··on A Frustrated Trump Wants His New Air Force One Planes Pronto

We need a petition like this for all software.
