It's the exact same issue with nuclear power vs fossil fuels.
Yep, for me Plex is the solution that "just works". I eventually got annoyed that my 4 subscriptions costing $80/month only having 2-4 of the shows I wanted to watch every month, with the other 1-3 not being available…
Exactly, landlords will be working 0.5 days and renters will be working 5-6 days. So I guess they were actually right if they meant 3.5 days on average. I rent a very basic one bedroom in an awful location which costs…
> Comparatively, immigrants don’t have the purchasing power to compete What makes you say that? As someone who's currently dating a Chinese immigrant I have been made aware of an entire world I didn't know existed. They…
don't forget about household debt exceeding GDP, with the housing market just being a ponzi scheme held up by a combination of foreign investors, immigrants, and a lack of new construction.
I couldn't find anything for Greenpeace, but I did find Friends of the Earth (which like Greenpeace, also split from Sierra Club), was split off "because of the [Sierra Club's] positive approach to nuclear energy. The…
> Either branch name is a fine choice. It just completely doesn't matter and pretending that it has any positive impact or meaningful change on the racism and discrimination faced by Black people in America is…
Exactly, and the reason why they're cheaper now is because it's easier to dump their externalities on developing countries with lax environmental policy, whereas nuclear has unreasonably strict safety requirements which…

Not sure if you'll see this, but I stand corrected, just received a test alert on my new pixel 7 despite having those turned off. I used to not receive those (or they were at least silent, I forget since I didn't…
They're also very distracting while driving, especially if you're relying on maps since they cover the entire screen.
I wonder then if it's an error on the providers side? Because I had Extreme and Severe on, AMBER and Test off, and Vibration On (under alert preferences for wireless emergency alerts). The only other data points I have…
Which provider are you with? They show up as Amber alerts for me and can be disabled from my unlocked pixel (stock os, not rooted) with bell. I have confirmed this by being with other people when an alert happened to go…
This feels like a variation of the trolly problem where currently we're on one that's killing millions (fossil fuels), and everyone is afraid to pull the lever for one that kills a handful because it has the…
I'm sorry, I should have clarified that my criticism was that these sorts of tools often get recommended as a security tool that can protect you from malware/spyware. There are still valid use cases for it like what…
Unfortunately without sandboxing, these sorts of tools just add an extra layer of maintenance to your system for a false sense of security [1, 2]. This can actually be harmful for less experienced Linux users who may…
In order to argue that, you have to list your goals, what you want to do with your phone, and the goals of an attacker. On Android, other than a few minor inconveniences, I can still achieve everything I want to with my…
Which app and Android version is it? I've never had that issue where it prompts me every time without letting me save the permission, although if I recall requesting one time access is different than requesting…
I completely agree with that comment you linked, Purism is either deliberately selling snake oil or are completely clueless. Here's another example of this with them bashing Android/iOS security: > One of the problems…
Exactly, and their "good" dice roll sequence, 3 1 5 6 2 6 3 4 4 1 contained the full set which should only happen ~1/4 of the time for 10 rolls. It also contained no number more than twice, which should happen < 7% of…
Or when they "accidentally" make a wrong turn, or purposefully take a "shortcut" just to take you a longer/slower route to drive up the meter, almost making you late.
> Instead of trying to jmcut out time sinks, just make them more deliberate. I agree with this 100%. I was so much more productive and relaxed when I was on my own. My parents, and now my girlfriend, always berate me…
Yep, and also just want to add that the engineers making ~400k are paying around ~150k in taxes, probably have a PhD so they didn't even earn much of anything and lived off of instant ramen packs until they were 30,…
