Most contested divorces take more than nine months anyways, and you don’t need a divorce to separate and get into a safe space. Typically separation happens before the legal process starts, and even if you wanted to get remarried there is an intermediate ‘bifurcation’ step which can end the marriage legally before the divorce is finalized.

This is just a legal convenience for the court, but who doesn’t love a little rage bait?

Kamala should start running against/debating with Nicky Haley and just ignore Trump, sends a signal and would likely result in an actual debate on policy… Imagine that!

Has anyone seen Meliana lately? Is she deployed somewhere?

imagine you are watching youtube on this thing and when an ad shows up, you can’t look away, even if you try to they can track your eye movement and just move the window, you can’t mute it, you certainly cannot install adblock on it, you are forced to watch the ad until it satisfies apple

WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can’t mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can’t usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn’t really sell ads outside of the App Store.

If you want to worry about that stuff I’d suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.

LOL WUT?

Android was originally a button and keyboard driven mobile OS, when the iPhone was released they scrambled to switch the UI to touch.

When given detail about them – and asked whether he would say that any elements in the latest version of Android, such as the two-line preview of emails in the Gmail app (found in Apple’s iPhone email program since 2007), or the “quick response” buttons at the bottom of the email app (almost identical in order and purpose to those in Apple’s iPhone email program), or the provision of a shortcut to the camera from the phone’s lock screen (first seen in Windows Phone 7 in October 2010 iOS 5 previews in June ), or the extra features added to the Notifications bar in Android – were copying iOS, he responded: “I’m not going to get into this.”
