you folks claimed AOSP wasn’t going anywhere

It’s not though? AOSP is open source, it can’t really go anywhere.

Google are not required to keep updating AOSP, especially not at an arbitrarily decided upon timeframe by some other developers who piggyback off AOSP.

I dislike Google as a company and have basically moved away from every single Google service apart from Google photos and Waze, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to just demand they do what I want them to.

These devs are upset because their business is almost entirely dependant on Google giving them their work, and fair enough - but they should have known this would happen one day. When you make a business reliant on someone else’s business doing work for you for free, you should have a backup plan.

Corporate pc defender rules are set by the corporation - of course the end user can’t bypass their rules.

Microsoft don’t set those rules, each individual company does. What you’re saying makes no sense.

It’s “tax evasion” in the sense that it’s a company using tax laws to minimise the amount of tax they pay, just like how you and I do when we do our taxes. The differences are it’s much easier to do for multinational corporations due to tax laws, And due to them being able to pay lots of accountants lots of money to find every way possible.

Sure, but the headline doesn’t say it all because you don’t pay tax on revenue.

Well this will not get many comments lol

No it doesn’t. You don’t pay tax on revenue, you pay it on profit. From what I can see before the paywall text shows, they barely made any profit.

Australia had the perfect opportunity to do exactly what you are saying… And did not.

Not sure if serious, but there were a few other gigantic things going on during that time lol.

Stop conflating immigration with the problem, which was, is, and remains, housing speculation.

Again you completely miss the point. Can you not read? Here, I'll quote myself for you:

You think we’re saying immigration caused the housing crisis. We’re not. I’ve specifically told you that many times…….yet you still say that’s what we’re saying. You’re arguing in “bad faith” because you know you made a mistake but refuse to correct it.

Appropriate suspicion is cast upon any mod that’s too vague with their ban comments

One of the biggest issues here is, like reddit, most of the ban actions are shown as just being done by "mod", not giving the specific mod account that did it.

I'm talking about on your own machine. Obviously it's different if you're using a work-controlled machine that you don't control.

Defender, on your own machine that you control, never completely stops you from installing things. Seems you just don't know how to ignore the defender warnings lol.
