  • Yeah I genuinely feel like these topics come up way more in meat space for me.

  • None of these three are issues for chronically online people. The people in my life who barely go online all have strong opinions about these topics.

  • I know that whales exist, but seriously... Who is into self hosting but also into dropping $750 on a service that can end on a whim?

  • People who downvote someone asking a question is insane. Gods forbid you want to learn something or engage in a dialogue.

  • The perfect comic doesn't exi—

  • I've cut down my subscriptions by a lot over the past few years, and I've gotten very close to what I consider a minimum. Whenever possible, I like to buy outright.

    However, surely you can understand how not every product can function as a one time purchase. For something like a password manager, they are providing an ongoing service. They are storing and serving your data.

    You can self host, sure, and I'm doing a lot of that lately. But not everyone has the capacity or desire to.

    All that said, this leadership shakeup is concerning and I think I'll be migrating to Proton, since I already have a Duo plan.

  • There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

  • With respect, if you cannot notice a difference between 720p and 4k on a 4k compatible screen, then you do indeed have something wrong with your eyes.

  • Wow this is a very old PDL.

  • Right, that's the premise I mentioned.

  • What exactly is the joke, here? Just, like, taking a premise and cranking it to an extreme for shock value?

  • Except my specific Fitbit 😭

  • I've read this exact comment a hundred and one times before you just wrote it. The average end user does not care. We are a vocal minority.

  • If something in a headline is in quotes, it should be a direct quote. In this case, they are following that standard. It's a direct quote of Dr. Kaiping Yu who worked on the research.

    It also happens to make for a very catchy headline.

  • I keep seeing people saying that Reddit will be dead when this or that happens. I've seen a handful of those things come to pass already and reddit it doing just fine.

    Most people don't care. They will continue using it. It will survive.

  • That's not exactly inspiring or fulfilling to me, because we'll all do that. (metaphorically... I don't actually want to be buried myself)

  • The fact that Trump or any of his family will never see the inside of a cell is the single largest thing that destroyed my faith in humanity.

  • Cat.

  • Tbh, a five year old phone can absolutely be high end. Mine is four years old and I absolutely consider it high end.
