Fair point. The simplest answer is thrt any other business cannot possibly be as evil as meta, so even worst case is a net win.

I use Beeper which shows me a unified view of whatsapp and Signal and others. whatsapp itself has zero permissions on my phone. I hate that I need to have it at all but Europe is deep into that. Sigh.

Then I see why you need moar disks. But seriously, are you ever gonna watch 3000 movies and 500 TV series?
That’s about 25000 hours of content. If you watch 3 hours per day it will take you 23 years to watch it all.
Are you okay, brother?

- Comment on The most powerful laser in the US recently produced 2 quadrillion watts of power 5 weeks ago:
I have a decent grasp of physics but I understand nothing at all about this article. Melp me out, please?
What use is a high energy beam that last for an almost immeasurably short period of time? How can it even be said that it has this power output, in such a short time?
“Zero-POW!-zero” sounds unbelievable to normal humans. No ramp-up? No sizzling out?
On such a short time scale, what’s the actual Wh used? It can’t be very much, so the actual energy delivered can hardly do anything at all, either.
And finally, what’s even the point of this? What’s the purpose? What’s the end goal? Why?

Exactly reversed of Excel. I wonder why the did that? I can’t imagine it’s not deliberate.
I know this is a tiny detail but you know how it’s like a tiny splinter you can’t pull out - not a big problem but an ongoing bother.

Ctrl-Enter to save a cell without leaving it? Ctrl-D so fill down? Double-click cell corner to fill down?

Average consumers are in a lose/lose situation. Choice is a privilege that not everyone can afford.

I absolutely agree with you. But where I live, Amazon is cheaper than any other sellers, online or stores. I hate it but I only have so much money to spend.

And then for convenience, add a shopping cart so it’s not a separate research step - congrats, you’ve invented Amazon.

What would be the point? That’s just staying on Windows, with extra steps and lower performance.

Just the name itself sounds like an an angsty teenage dream. Not really selling it there.

- Comment on Is a Prusa Mini+ for $100 a good deal? 2 months ago:
The quality is whatever you print. The printer’s quality is stellar.
I always say that if you want to print stuff, buy Prusa. If you want to tinker with the printer, buy something else.
Prusa is the Mercedes of 3d - premium price for a premium experience. At 100$ for a Mini, I would not hesitate even if I already have one.

- Comment on Florida’s New Social Media Bill Says the Quiet Part Out Loud and Demands an Encryption Backdoor 2 months ago:
Stupid, lazy, overworked, underskilled - it must have been easier to raise us who are adults now, pre Internet, than it is to raise our kids today. And I repeat, tech is not the solution.
- Comment on Florida’s New Social Media Bill Says the Quiet Part Out Loud and Demands an Encryption Backdoor 2 months ago:
Full encryption means privacy. From everyone. For everyone. Please explain to me why that should not be given to minors?
In my view, protecting children online is not inherently a tech problem. It’s a part of parenting.

US LEO are the real ones. In UK+EU they really aren’t murderous villains, many don’t even carry a gun.
And politicians don’t murder, they just fleece us.
