If someone hires a former Facebook employee to work on their social network, is that patent infringement?

No. If that employee then implements features that FB has patented? Probably yes.

Fuxk cars is about car dependence and culture, not about never personally using a car.

I know it's a pain, but what's to stop us from using download-clis?

You still have a contract. But I get that it may not be worth the trouble.

This of course depends on your jurisdiction and how much time you're willing to put into this, but I'd refuse to pay for shipping either way.

You have a contract with the company, and they didn't fulfil it, that's on them. They can't just send you a defective product and make you pay for (part of) it.

I use bxactions to control play/pause (single tap), flashlight (hold when screen is locked) and auto rotation (hold when screen is on). No custom ROMs or root needed, just a quick abd command that comes with the app and disables bixby.

I'm not being an asshole.

That's for others to decide.

And horseshoes too.

Happy to inform you it's actually a trilby, pleb.
