If Ukraine wasn’t in total war with Russia right now imagine how easily they could wipe the floor with NK lol.

Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.

Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁

They have a lot of users voting and viewing content though.

Don’t worry pretty soon Reddit will join us in being tiny.

Also you can’t really use Apple TV properly without an Apple device. Same with iCloud. Actually really any service they make only works properly with their full stack.

I guess his question is “is that happening?”

Acting like Apple didn’t do the same thing with khtml to make WebKit.

AFAIK Apple has said they are only going to use official RCS spec with no extensions and will work on adding encryption to the spec. Google has announced that they will work with Apple and the GSMA to implement official RCS encryption.

I’m not really getting how born in the US and born on US soil have different meanings in the context of this conversation.

A completely different tangent: lots of Americans aren’t born in the US. Which kinda messes up OPs question also. Like, yes, technically you can call most people born in the US a US citizen, but you can also call lots of people not born in the US that.

Yes, not everyone born in the US identifies as American. I’ve had friends who were born there while their parents were traveling and while they are technically US citizens they wouldn’t consider themselves American as they’ve never lived there and aren’t culturally American at all. I’ve also known people who were born outside the US and brought there at an early age who definitely consider themselves American even though their legal status is a mess. It’s the only country they’ve ever known.

Yes.

Not everyone who identifies as American has citizenship, and not everyone with citizenship identifies as American. It’s not synonymous.

Yeah that’s kinda my point haha. Continents are made up and don’t mean anything. If you’re going by plates then there’s dozens of continents.

Language rules (in English at least) are descriptive not prescriptive. They try to explain why Americans are called Americans, not determine what they’re called. They’re called Americans, whether or not it’s logical, or the ideal descriptor, or fits with other names, that’s what they’re called.

Also most English speaking countries don’t have an “American” continent, they have North and South America as separate continents, so you would say someone is North or South American to refer to the continent, not just American. Similar to how some people consider Eurasia a single continent but very few people would identify as Eurasian.
