I am calling your bullshit out and asking to provide even a singular example where you got 'trolled' seeking software development help.

I wonder why almost no one in these GrapheneOS praise topic mentions that you won't be able to pay with your phone, and often even bank apps refuse to install on it - it was a deal breaker for me personally, and now I'm back under Google umbrella :<

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search] "BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000 "CortanaConsent"=dword:00000000

Not so long ago I stumbled upon a really nice article in some IT guy's blog about cognitive biases, logical fallacies and other 'truths of life' that he learned and found useful throughout his years.It was stuff like "It's reasonable to assume that a complex system for which it took some time to reach the current state is very close to being in an optimal form under the circumstances"....
