That's not what they're doing. They're using Apple's version for free. They're also encouring their users to violate their terms of service agreements with Apple en-masse.

It's also a huge security hole

I feel like conversatives just learn first principals and stop there. It's kinda sad. The FCC, FTC, etc exist in order to keep our markets fair and consumer friendly.

This weird, free-trade utopia that they dream about does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist. Instead when you remove all the regulation, you get anarchy like we see today in many 3rd world countries.

I would love to see our government get more efficient and targetted with its regulation, but to simply argue against it is extremely naive.

You are contradicting yourself all over the place in these comments.

The implication that having a cycle count on your phone is going to drive upgrades is bizarre.

"Hey, what made you decide to get the new iPhone?"

I think a trap a lot of players fall into in D&D is that in-combat healing is bad. Out of combat, sure, but during combat the better play 99% of the time is to do damage to the enemies, not heal your party.

Start thinking about how you can do damage with Clerics and you'll start to see the possibilities.

I don't think we'll see it for a few years, but I feel like Apple has laid out their plans for this when they announced the VisionPro. It runs iPhone and iPad apps in Stage Manager. So does the iPad Pro. And I can definitely see that it's a possibility for the phones in the future.

Now the chips in the phones aren't M-series, so it might be a while until we've got the horsepower, and I'm sure there's some developer-changes necessary as well, but it doesn't seem out of the question.

Great post! This is from the tabletop community and deals with party composition along the same lines.

MacOS's kernel is also UNIX-based and open source

I feel like VTTs surged during the pandemic (not that it’s over) and now a lot of people went back to playing in person

As a hard core liberal, I promptly uninstalled that shit as soon as I saw my first Chinese military propaganda.
