  So, have you actually used a 144 Hz display yourself?

  Completely untrue and not even up for debate. You’d know this if you had ever used a high-refresh rate display.

  You would need to have the right to redistribute the copyrighted material, which is sounds like you don’t.

  The question hits on some of the most fundamental aspects of our current understanding of reality and theoretical physics. As another commenter pointed out, one potential answer delves into QFT. Just because OP used a metaphor doesn’t warrant you saying they had “too many pot brownies” and there’s absolutely no need to be a condescending jerk here.

  Not even that, more that the correlation might not be there in the first place.

  continue is useful as a loop analog to early return in a function context, which helps keep indentation/nested conditionals under control and in turn improves code readability.

  I don’t think I’ve ever felt the urge to apply an alignment chart to monospace fonts of all things, but Xenon and Radon are basically lawful and chaotic evil respectively.

  Public companies are by definition amoral. They’re beholden to their shareholders and virtually every decision they make is informed by this obligation. Morality generally only factors into their decision-making insofar as it affects PR and thus the bottom line.

  I don’t mean to say that Google or any other company is immoral. I use amoral to simply mean that they operate independent of morality. No public company, no matter how much you may like them, is your friend at the end of the day.

  Chromium is open-source. Chrome is not and also happens to constitute a majority of the browser market, and Google has tried multiple times to cash in on this market share to benefit their primary business of advertising to the detriment of users (FLoC, Manifest v3, Web Environment Integrity).

  Likewise, AOSP is open-source, but Google has been progressively dismantling it and making various components closed-source (most recently the dialer app).

  All this to say, Google is absolutely not friendly to FOSS. As a corporation, they’re beholden to their shareholders above all else and they should be treated as an amoral entity, the same as every other publicly-traded company.
