I think you have a very specific definition of gambling which I don't share. To me, gambling is much broader. Wikipedia summarizes it well:

"Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize."

That's it. It doesn't make an opinion whether the bet is fair. There doesn't have to be a casino involved at all. It also doesn't require you to put "most or your life savings" into it for it to be gambling.

I think you are conflating high risk, high stakes and even the precence of a casino into the same concept and call it gambling.

That doesn't make sense at all. How would you - given two stacks of papers - know which stack the correct form is?

One of the most prestigious purpose a computer can have!

You are arguing against yourself. In the first paragraph you say that the parents should keep kids from social media.

In the second, you say that it would be a violation of privacy if parents would keep kids from social media.

Kids need policing, it's going to need to be done by the parents no matter what the laws are. Personally, I don't think the laws matter much in this regard.

I'm on the fence about that one.

There's an app called 'buycott' that does exactly that!

Any professional would have a code repository and probably a build server which spits out binaries left and right, off site of course.

Bonus points if that is the easiest way to deploy the software, so all developers actually use it.

Edit: typo

Good point. Touché.

As a third party I don't think we should blame America for the genocide in Gaza. We should blame Israel. We are all complicit (and way worse of course being a sponsor) by not calling it out.

You did vote though? Right? Right?

There were a few years when only a handful were supported. Before that it was as open as now, leaving compatibility responsibility to the extension developers.

They should pay you monthly for your costs. (:
