It’s the same ordering system, but different queues for drive-through, tills, and kiosk. Usually there’s some priority order, but tills and kiosk shouldn’t be different

There’s a reason dangerous tools are required to have guards and safety features. It’s not enough that it’s known to be dangerous, that doesn’t stop accidents.

And in fact, killing all the hyper-authoritarians (or at least all of that kind of authoritarian-the irredeemable monster kind) and dismantling everything they built is the best way to stop that.

In theory yes, the problem is you can’t identify them all ahead of time

Also, your false positive rate will make you a monster too

And focusing on family lines instead of malicious ambition will mean you’ll kill a lot of people who opposed their own evil family members as collateral damage, people who might even be the best allies you could have to spot others with malicious intent because they’ve seen it up close

“the official license isn’t evidence, and I’m a clown”

Just give up already

The entire forum has already proved the point that you’re wrong. You’re incapable of understanding that you lost. An economics teacher might be able to get it into your head.

“taking the train is free once you’ve paid for the ticket”

You’re not allowed to use it after downloading it for free unless you use it on Apple hardware that it paid for. If you don’t have Apple hardware you only have a file you’re not allowed to use. Paying for Apple hardware pays for the license permitting you to use it.

That’s like saying that using a fixed cost subscription service is free because you’re not paying at the time that you access it.

Go take an economics class

If including it with a paid product has a cost for the manufacturer, then you did pay for it as a part of the price of the product which you did pay for.

It’s paid for as a part of the hardware and not listed separately on the receipts. All those 3rd party components in the OS are not free and has to be paid for. That comes from the hardware sale.

You agree that the terms of this License will apply to any Apple-branded application software product that may be preinstalled on your Apple-branded hardware

you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time.

to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running macOS Sonoma, macOS Ventura, macOS Monterey, macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control

and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.

You’re only allowed to use Mac OS and software for it on a Mac computer, which you have to pay for.

The license additionally calls out included 3rd party licensed fonts which which you can’t use unrestricted without a specific license from the market of that font

To be extremely pedantic, there’s licensing costs involved with a bunch of 3rd party libraries included in the OS (HDR, h265, radios, etc), but they cover those royalties / fees via hardware sales and the license to use it follows the hardware

It’s built on Wine, any general improvements to compatibility will generally support desktop programs using the same APIs

Best you got is recurring audits

Sure, but that gives end users standing to sue, not these guys

US used to call it FAANG (but then there’s been a bunch of renames)

But ad blockers don’t distribute derivative materials.

It’s like saying you can’t distribute a stencil to cover up things you don’t like to see in a book.

Ad blockers do literally the reverse, they don’t inject anything, they sit on the outside and prevent unwanted resources from loading.

Also it’s fully legal for the end user to modify stuff on their own end. And the information in the filter about the website structure is functional, not expressive - no copyright protection of function.

To claim copyright infringement for not rendering a website as intended due to filters also means it would be infringement to not render the website correctly for any other reason - such as opening the website with an unsupported browser, or on hardware with limited support, or with a browser with limited capabilities - or why not because you’re using accessibility software!

Even that shouldn’t be illegal. It’s shitty, but it’s still too far

While we’re sleeping different parts of our brain is essentially idle and unresponsive. During the dream phase (REM sleep) there’s still multiple parts that are unresponsive even as the dreaming part is active. And everything we do that’s almost fully handled by a certain part of our brain won’t work in dreams when that part is idling.

The things that works but acts weird in our dreams is partially controlled by an idling part of our brain, but our dreaming part of the brain has a separate redundant model of that thing, but it isn’t complete (see: complex movement, etc)
