As a final thought, why is protection from malicious apps from the play store being performed on the phone instead of in the store?

In addition, why is known spyware on the top of the recommended list if I were to open the play store: temu, snapchat.

Or getting pissy if I use an ad blocker when their platform has served malicious ads.

I ended up just building a box after looking for the perfect NAS and finding it didn’t exist. The software is usually just crap or the hardware is underwhelming. Got a Node 804 case to slap in plenty of HDD space. Running NixOS so I’m in control of the software. In retrospect I wish I had gotten a rackmount type case. Tossed in an Arc GPU for better transcoding shortly after the initial setup.

If half your employees aren’t acting the way they do in private, they’re putting on a mask and not being their true selves

But you’re making this point in defense of someone aligning themselves with a group who targets trans, women, and whoever else they can bully not like them for being their true selves… Do you not see the hypocrisy of such a point given the context of the quote?
