Your friend sets you up on a date. Are you going to treat that person horribly. Of course not. Why? First and foremost, because you’re not a dick.

In what way? It would make it entirely invisible that the archive file isn’t just a normal folder, it would be possible to use it just as if it were. What would be unfriendly about that?

The operating system could mount it as a virtual drive, then all its contents could be used directly just like any regular folder.

I still don’t get what would be so difficult about typing one such character if ever needed.

“These features and experiences need to be trained on information that reflects the diverse cultures and languages of the European communities who will use them.”

No, they do not, these features and experiences don’t need to exist at all.

I don’t really see the big problem here?

The primary problem in this story is the lying. If there are Bluetooth earbuds in the box then it should say Bluetooth on the box.

Not having reproducible builds is definitely weird though.

I don’t think it’s ever happened to me that anyone told me that it was inconvenient for them that I didn’t have iMessage, compared to pretty much weekly exclamations of “But why can’t you just use WhatsApp like everyone else!?”
