I don't think I've seen one at the top..

I'd say bottom because I'd rather not have the cord coming towards me, rather than away, when I'm using the phone. Also it seems more ergonomic for me to put my phone in my pocket with the top pointed down rather than up.

US is an accomplice, so of course they can't admit to Israel violating international law.

Our chance was during the primaries, and we fucking choked.

What are they gonna do vote for trump?

They might choose to sit it out, abstain. This election is not a sure thing for Biden, and the polls are pretty clear that Biden needs to stop supporting Israel like yesterday. Hilary had hubris in 2016, and so too does Biden seem to have hubris right now.

War crimes and genocide. They are a terrorist state.

Getting called out for it was unintentional.

Will using the browser version with the usual array of ad-blocks help?

One of the interesting features about Matrix is that it supports some degree of interoperability. The Beeper phone app, for all the fuss about its ill-fated attempts to bridge to iMessage, can connect to Discord for basic no-frills text chat.

I refuse to install Discord on my phone but use Beeper for DMs and group texting.

I am a big fan of Matrix and glad to see it getting some attention in this post. But it is definitely a bit rougher around the edges and esoteric compared to Discord. For more technically-inclined people, it's fine. But it's a bit much for some people.

I'm no fan of Apple (and don't want to divert discussion here), but part of their winning formula is ease of use.

I frequently use Jitsi w/screensharing. Been using it for quite a while this way with good results.

I'm sure the people running businesses when Wal-mart came into their town and pushed them out have a better understanding than I do.

Those small local businesses may not be growth-driven, but they still have to compete against companies that are. And the odds are very often stacked against those small businesses, though some of them are able to successfully carve out a niche.

Yes, this is what I was trying to explain. It isn't printed right there in the dictionary because it isn't the formal definition. It's just how it ends up actually working.

There's countless other examples too, where the formal definition and what it means in the real world don't fully line up.
