How about we just go back to “lies” so the simple-minded folks who always fall for that crap can have a chance of “getting it” for once?
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

I honestly didn’t know it was still around. Wonder how it compared against the sludge that is now Google’s crapified results. Guess I’ll never know.


Wonder if this will work on the innumerable obvious covers of popular songs by no-name bands which get listed as being from the original artists. Probably not, which is why I stopped using Spotify even before so many of their other shitty moves.


Competition.


Of course the cops keep using it - payments from the inevitable lawsuits don’t come out of their pockets, so why give a shit when there are quotas to make? No accountability breeds irresponsibility.


Great. We absolutely need more fear and loathing of our neighbors in the world. When the fuck will everybody catch on to this manipulative bullshit?


Well, you’re obviously either not terribly well-grounded in reality considering how many times I was patient enough to answer what was effectively the same question - never mind that it’s perfectly reasonable to ask for proof when accused of something, or more likely you’re a poor excuse for a troll. Either way, I’ve got better things to do than feed whatever your neurotic issue is, so I’ll be blocking you. Good luck with finding the mental health assistance you obviously are in need of.


Please point out where I got “mad.”


Wow, I’ve really got to spell it out for you, huh? Azure Linux will not be exempt - Microsoft will add the required routines to it, and if they are the only ones to do so, then they soak up the server market in CA.
ETA: I doubt that will wind up being the case as other commercial vendors will not want to be left behind, but we were discussing the theoretics.


If the only server OS legally capable of running in CA is Microsoft’s - be it Windows, or their particular spin of Linux - guess who’s gonna sop up all that government contract money?


And there’s nothing keeping them from adding it themselves for their own in-house use & profit.


“My name is Microsoft, and I approved this message.”


I’ll have to add my wish that strangers would buy me things I want to my Amazon wishlist.


Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.


Turn off “debug” in the app settings to stop that & have it only report suspect devices instead of everything it sees.


Sorry - edited my comment as you were replying. It’s in the app’s settings menu.


It’s supposed to ask for Bluetooth access at that point, did it?
Also from the GitHub page:
if you don’t see the scan starting, you might need to enable Foreground Service on your particular phone in the Settings menu [in the app’s settings, not the phone’s]

Playing them ain’t much of a problem. One that can also subscribe to and keep reliable, up-to-date, well-organized channel lists has been for me, which is part of why I don’t bother with IPTV very often.
But those who pay attention know which is the truth, while yelling “lies” seems to work on the clueless - seems win-win to me.
