Hot take: religiously affiliated “universities” should not be able to call themselves places of higher learning by law, since religion in and of itself dictates that you leave all common sense, reasoning, and thinking at the door.

>America had nothing to do with that
Per the US State Department’s own website, this is objectively not true
Basically, Britain was in favor of supporting Arabs in Palestine because it suited their interests better, while America was more in favor of displaced Jews from World War II having a place to live.

This would have never been an issue to begin with if the British and Americans had included Palestinians at the negotiating table from the beginning, and had established a dual state/party solution as well.

iOS 16 is fine at this point. There are some people running around shouting about how iOS 16 is just as bad as iOS 11, but they are truly full of it.
As a computer science student, you should more than know that being on the latest software patch for an operating system is always the best policy to have for security reasons alone.

Reply to comment by Superbuddhapunk in Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister by icumglass
The SNP is completely out of its mind if they truly believe any PM of the United Kingdom would allow Scotland to have a second independence referendum.
I do believe that Westminster needs to bring Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to the table when figuring out some of the major issues facing the UK, but I also believe that Scotland doesn’t have a clue how destructive a “yes” vote on independence would be not only for their country, but the world as well.

No, not really. If you were to take a peek at Bitwarden or 1Password (especially 1Password), you would realize what a joke Microsoft/Google/Apple’s password managers are.
To begin, you can’t use Google’s password manager outside of the Chrome browser because the service lacks its own app.

Google’s main focus isn’t password management, for one

If every action a government takes is based off of the religious beliefs of a particular group, that isn’t really a democracy anymore. As Modi has more than shown the world, he is perfectly content with using the Hindu religion to justify committing a number of horrible atrocities.

Legitimate question: why are we still calling India and Turkey democracies when they are pretty transparently theocracies nowadays?

I think Apple still has tons of growth potential in India, particularly if they continue to move more of their manufacturing there (something which lowers the taxes on their devices considerably, because India’s tax laws are a bit shit)

More importantly, Apple really isn’t in the business of randomly abandoning products out of the blue (I’m looking squarely at Google with this one).
