     @ThatCrazyDude depending how the software patent is written, the implementation doesn't Actually matter.
     that's why no one made video games where during loading screens you can play a minigame. Because that was patented.
     or how in macOS you cant/couldn't drag windows to the edge of the screen to make it half of the screen. Because Microsoft had that mechanic patented.

     And hey, how come you're a Jew now? 🤣
