Probably because the US empire had deteriorated enough by that point that revoking passports for exposing the blatant lies and crimes of our government was on the table by then. Of course, it's different these days.…
The universe itself, if bounded, might be a hypersphere.
If you're referring to the increased scroll speed with two fingers issue, that was patched within the last year.
They've yet to top Civ4 but third time's a charm I guess.

If you're required to RTO and doing it you probably aren't in a position to "insist" on jack shit.
One of the earlier examples of enshittification, before the process had been smoothed out and best practices established.

I will refer you to my earlier post: To me "I don't know" is pretty close to "didn't happen" anyway. I mean we will even say "hmm, I don't know about that" to indicate skepticism. I suppose you are picturing someone who…
Our current understanding has most of the answers you seek, and compelling reasoning for why they are the correct answers.

The compelling explanation you think we won't have for centuries in the future, we literally already have. It's perhaps not as comprehensive and well-understood as Maxwell's equations, but they are well-studied. What…

I don't know about "religiously" but did you have a better idea? Am I supposed to believe suppositions as though they are fact, for literally no reason?

I think your point is going to be lost on people who view art as a commodity to be consumed. From that point of view, replacing the artist with a machine can only result in a loss, if the person consuming the art could…
