As someone who used to live in Grand Rapids, MI, I'm not surprised at all. West Michigan is a place of polar opposites: Both progressive in pockets, but also deeply bible-belty. You can't drive more than a mile without passing at least a half dozen churches.

Also, it's where Betsy Devos' company and one of the largest for-profit charter school organizations in the country is based.

Why stop there? Clearly Hillary Clinton, Antifa, Taylor Swift, and Mexico are at fault, too.

I'm assuming you meant 512GB, as 500MB wouldn't even hold the OS.

Also, you can get a replacement battery from iFixIt for $89.

Lindsey "I'm Captain Hindsight" Graham, everybody.

Thanks for the useless fucking commentary, Graham. Can I get the winning lottery numbers from three lotteries ago and yesterday's weather, too?

Honestly if they wanted to kill TikTok, handing it to Oracle is an easy way to do it. Everything they touch turns to shit.

Xfinity/Comcast hijacks DNS, even if you use another DNS server (they just redirect DNS requests to them). I suspect that they're using it for analytics data to sell while disguising it as "security".

They also block access to root DNS servers, so you can't use a full DNS Resolver run locally. It's super f***Ed.

If you want to ensure they don't do it, use your own modem and always force DNS over TLS.

As long as it doesn't end up like Shady Sands.

It looks like it's going to be a staging ground for things to be merged into Weston proper, along with potentially some newer and better features coming to it exclusively or first.

As long as it's open source, sounds like a win to me. More AMD embracing Linux as a first party OS is good in my book.
