  Anyone who opposes mass surveillance should.

  I personally use Obsidian, but I know that other have suggested logseq. Might be useful to have in your table. Also, Obsidian does have an Android app.

  You seem to be operating under the assumption that Trump isn’t an over confident idiot with terrible ideas. Unfortunately for your narrative, he’s straight-up said that he wants to annex these places. So, Trump seriously believes that the USA can colonize Canada.

  My vote is:

  1. Button layouts that have worked for 20-30 years
  2. Heads-up displays for readouts of current values. Mph/kmph is displayed by default and the display temporarily changes when something like volume, heat, radio station, track, etc. is adjusted

  Best of both worlds

  I’m still trying to wrap my head around fingerprinting, so excuse my ignorance. Doesn’t an installed plugin such as Canvas Blocker make you more uniquely identifiable? My reasoning is that very few people have this plugin relatively speaking.

  I believe it’s even more bleak than that. My theory/prediction:

  Once these companies manage to make game streaming a reality, my guess is that they will scale back their consumer GPU divisions without hesitation. The goal is for us to ultimately own nothing. Software is already leased to us (you don’t technically own the games in your steam or epic library). The end game is for hardware to be that way as well.Until then, we’re going to see most people priced out of consumer hardware.

  If game streaming services become a reality (I’m talking about a situation where latency and data transfer are less of an issue), they will be positioned as a revolution in entertainment that deliver high-end gaming performance to the masses. As the technology matures, we will see multiple services take hold. It will be like Netflix/Hulu/prime/peacock/etc. but Blizzard/Steam/Epic/Ubisoft/etc. Essentially we will have to pay the equivalent of a new PC/Console price tag every year to rent hardware.

  Ironically, what holds this back in today’s world is the greed and shitty infrastructure that’s offered by US ISPs.
