I hear you. The best I can do is tell myself that hopefully the Coast Guard personnel and other mariners got some practice/training which will be useful in emergencies in the future. And it’s still right to try and save someone, even if they put themselves in the dangerous situation.
Those sources… are… interesting…
I used to work at a liquor store and we had one regular customer who paid with a bitcoin card. This was around 2015 or so. It was funny because he said it was because of “anonymity” but everyone knew him as “the guy who pays with bitcoin.”
No, and I also seriously question people’s obsession with gold.
Hey. Biplanes are actually much more relevant in today’s world than crypto. They aren’t common, but there are still new biplanes made because they are a valid solution for certain problems. Unlike blockchain.
For real, as an American I’m super grateful.
there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.
I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier to going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).
There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes – because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
No seriously, .compact reddit on my phone and old.reddit with RES on my desktop were all I ever wanted. They haven’t gotten rid of old reddit YET but I can see the proverbial writing on the wall.
Good stuff. I deleted my account from 2011 the other day. This shit is stupid. Honestly already like kbin better anyway from a purely aesthetic perspective.
Reddit was fun while it lasted.
This is basically my attitude as well.
I use Brave and I actually really like it, but I don’t recommend it to other people because the crypto shit is frankly kind of embarrassing. It takes a fundamentally good piece of software and makes it feel scammy. I wish they would figure out a better business model, but it’s not like I have any ideas.
I’m comfortable just turning all of it off in the settings, but I don’t feel comfortable recommending it to people who are less technical than I am because I can already tell they’ll be like “You said this was supposed to be more secure why is it trying to sell me crypto”
EDIT: Still, though, ultimately whenever I have to use anyone’s “regular” device without adblocking and everything I’m shocked at how annoying the internet is, so Brave is doing its job haha.
And that is why Waze has to go away. It’s giving people info on cops, so that’s becoming politically inconvenient for Google.
