I do agree that it's a stupid phrase, but the point of it is to say that bad apples ruin the bunch. Police in the US, especially the bad apples, rarely are held accountable.

If we're talking about the latest version of Windows 11, I would say it's dumbed down, but everything I personally need is still there.

Have you considered that depression is "hot" because a huge portion of the population no longer have to suppress their feelings?

Police accountability is just the tip of the iceberg, though. A huge issue is the fact that a lot of minority history isn't taught properly in US schools, and important events that define race relations are completely ignored. Using the term "master" to describe Git branches, for example, is just another way of staying ignorant and insensitive to those events.

I can understand that there are some edge cases where master/slave should still be correct as it is accurate, but for every other case, it's still better to use a term that is culturally aware and technically relevant, even if it's a small difference that's part of a larger cultural shift.

The US may not have invented it, but there are still people in the US who are affected by it today.

Americans care about slavery for the same reason that Germans care about Nazis.

The best feature is that it auto-downloads recommended videos, but I hate how finnicky it is, and I hate how it's capped at 1080p.

And now YouTube thinks you hate that video, so your recommendations are less relevant unless you're willing to do the survey every time.

Watch time affects your recommendations, so this isn't a great solution

PCP is an incredibly common term in the US.

Something being accessible usually means that the results have a lower low-end and higher high-end, no? In the context of music, it would mean that there are bigger heaps of trash with a few hidden gems

If they have your records, then you can request a freeze in a variety of ways. Online is just the easiest way to manage all that.
