Have you seen population pyramids for the west ?

There will be too few people.

Additionally I will argue that if you care about the environment and our planet, it is your duty to have children and educate them about all these things.

Regarding the doomerism, I will brush it off as internet caused (too much news/social media)

Nobody knows what is going to happen and where. For all we know things might go amazing. It doesn't look like it, sure.

Ehm, geez, I don't know.. World war three ?

Israel is doing whatever it takes to start it, we must resist.

It would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability.

In notepad.

They did not rewrite Notepad in Rust? Seems to be an easy target

Why get yourself twisted like this?

They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult.

Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult.

If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.

I would rather pay a one off ransom to google, than have them harvest all my data and profit from them in perpetuity.

Better yet, you can buy a used pixel phone.

Pixel 9 Pro handsets are going for around $500 on the secondary markets like ebay. That's a only a single generation off from their current Pixel 10 models and you still get OS and security updates until 2031.

Not a bad deal and pretty crazy how fast smartphones depreciate now.

Indeed and Pixel 10 was 549 Euro here just a few weeks ago and Pixel 9a as low as 338 Euro.

All that economic surplus - and much more - flows back to the US. How do you think the US can sustain that amount of USD printing without inflation ? The rest of the world is buying those dollars.

Apples and oranges. Both fruits, some don't enjoy one as much.

Well, you could join Palantir and f̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶t̶e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶i̶s̶m̶ help develop Israel's terrorism in Gaza.

Wouldn't they need the be able to prove that you are a spy in order to argue that you lied ? In which case who cares about the form ?

Thats why I presume its asking about previous engagements, if they catch someone they suspect of espionage, dig into their background and find proof of previous activity they have a clear fraud charge without having to prove their suspicions about current activities.

There's often also some arbitrage on standard of proof or statutes of limitation or jurisdiction.

Maybe to deport you for espionage requires a jury trial, but to revoke status for misleading answers on an immigration form is administrative and so is deportation for lack of status.

I seem to recall some extraordinary cases where untruthful answers on immigration forms were used to justify denaturalization.

Proving you worked for a spy agency is far easier than proving you did spying in actuality. Assuming you didn't get caught in the act.

The fact you worked for an intelligence agency doesn’t mean you were an intelligence officer. You could’ve been a cleaner, or an executive assistant, or maybe you were working as a software developer on the payroll system.

Because the Israeli lobby is pushing the US to war with Iran, and the support of prominent silicon valley types is paramount for the US "intelligence" services.

False dichotomy.
