I access it from the bottom of the app’s Home Screen. Is this available in the US or are they catering to political preferences that want to avoid unpleasant information?

                                                                                                                                                                    People such as Tim Cook's successor at Apple want to turn back the hands of time. They want to turn back the clock to the 1950s or maybe the 1970s — where everything technologically important is made in-house and the Good Old Boys always have their say at the end of the day.

                                                                                                                                                                    Is now a good time to remind the and I.T. crowd that 89% of all companies' CEOs are still white men? Just what is wrong with this picture? There are few women leaders, they make up 11% of the Fortune 500 crowd. Certainly there are no notable nor eminent minority/POC leaders now leading at existing Fortune 500 companies. There are a few power players, like Thasunda Brown Duckett at TIAA and now we have Karen S. Carter who's the incoming leader at Dow. They are both black women. I'm trying to write that in this day and age — it's still rare. For me, that fact rooted in American sexism (which started with the men from Trump's entire Baby Boomer generation) basically means that there is no adequate representation for Open Source Software and specifically the people who write said code and make the code run on I.T. systems nationwide.

I personally use Claude. Using Hobbesian or simple "Trumpian" terms to better understand what's going down with this lawsuit over disclosure or NDAs, this idiotic lawsuit is just about two questions that always must be answered by the powerful: 1) who rules the I.T. industry by virtual monopoly or their presence alone? and 2) who has the money to pay the attorneys shit tons of money over initiating mostly useless lawsuits to keep the rulers ruling? Sounds like business as usual down in Silicon Valley where EVERYTHING GOES right now — it is either rags to riches or a vice versa situation in the virtual blink of an eye. Fuck that hypocrisy and fuck off . You gusy are being real sticks in the mud with this mandating NDAs stuff.
