@doctorow Being a long time crusader for a lot of these third party solutions, the scene is so much different now largely because these companies are openly hostile toward any reverse engineering attempts of their proprietary apps. They will ban any users caught with them and sue the devs.
This rally in Tel Aviv is just Huge: 10,000 Israeli citizens, Jews and Palestinians, that are holding together the pictures of these children who have been boned to death in Gaza. We will back down to the threats of the police, we will not surrender until Ending the killing.
Kyiv ❤️🩹
This is how other European capitals will look if russia isn't stopped in Ukraine and held accountable for their horrendous atrocities.

I satirized this idea a few years ago when ChatGPT first came out. The reason it's "cheating" is because unless you learn the facts and skills, technology will always be a crutch.
Imagine not knowing how to multiply or add numbers or how to spell correctly.
Imagine a physicist not knowing how to compute a derivative without Mathematica.
Imagine your physician searching "shortness of breath WebMD". Or trying to date someone while feeding everything through Google Translate.
Imagine your surgeon whipping out chatgpt in the middle of your operation.
There's a reason why we teach students to compute limits the hard way before giving them L'Hopital's rule.
The whole point of learning things is so *you* know them. When you learn something, it becomes yours. Relinquishing your agency and thought is not just pathetic, it's saying that you will always be nothing.
There is nothing wrong with not knowing something. Just stop worshipping your own ignorance.
