The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying "I wish I couldn't replace my phone battery" or "I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone"

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

This is fascinating because I got a BRI of 1.9 and it's saying I'm in the healthy zone. So I don't really know what to believe here

Our just play games on Linux. Wine/proton is shockingly good. I've never had an issue

Reaper works great on mint. Plus yabridge to use your windows plugins.

Haven't looked much into the breach, but probably the biggest issue is passwords. If unencrypted, and a user uses the same generic password for their email or bank or whatever, that possess a serious concern.

This highlights the importance of not reusing passwords

Edit: looks like passwords were hashed with bcrypt, which is really quite excellent. Very unlikely anybody is getting actual passwords from this leak.

Your pessimism is more optimistic than my optimism

If this was true, you'd use an ad blocker, and donate directly to your favorite content creators. They'd see way more money, and you wouldn't be supporting an evil organization.

They'd have more freedom to switch platforms as their revenue isn't directly tied to youtube, but rather their viewers. Freedom to switch platforms gives youtube incentive to run a better site and charge a more reasonable fee for premium features.

But this isn't what you're doing. You're supporting youtube directly and supporting all their business practices in the process

Just wanted to say I saved this comment to come back to, and I've been playing catrap and I've been really enjoying it. I like the relaxed nature of it. It's just a puzzle with no time limit and no penalty for fucking up

A John Digweed mix is perfect for me and ticks all the boxes

  • No lyrics
  • Lasts for hours
  • Never gets too repetitive, changes over time
  • No starting/stopping between songs.

I've done my best work to his live in Cordoba mix

there's no way it could be worse than oreo coke

Strong agree with your first 2 points, stronger disagree with your last point. Do you seriously think a 40 year old doesn't deserve a vote?

Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they're good people and treat you with love and respect.

Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn't make sense to support them.

There is no single answer to your question other than "it depends"
