people definitely spend less if they feel obligated to think about it a bit more
considering that the intended use case is for research, the web is going to be used either way, so it’s better to not have the distraction of a full web browser, which is exactly what “distraction free” is all about
i kinda fucks with it it’s fun
My point is basically that matrix/element is arguable the much more ethical chat solution because of its openess still with a focus on security.
signal protocol is basically the opposite, open source but the company is hostile to 3rd party client development
chromebook's are incredibly easy to manage from an I.T. perspective, and they are cheap to replace and repair. that's why they are popular
Just a note, there's some studies that have shown that a massive proportion of high tier female athletes actually have chromeosone issues that would put them into the intersex category.
Thrift stores in America are usually corporate and not for charity. Or, they pretend to be charities (but aren't)
Goodwill is fucking evil.
This is exactly what the article said
seem like trying to write Latin.
This is quite funny for someone who has learned a (tiny) bit of latin, because this is 100% true, in like a positive and negative way.
FreeCAD is "unforgiving", in that pretty much every dimension/curve/shape must be defined exactly as you want, in exchange, this makes the software very good if you know what you want to create, and how.
I've only used a tiny bit of Fusion at a school once, but it was a lot more "freeform" than FreeCAD, this made it easier to use, but as someone who knows what they want to create pretty exactly, I prefer FreeCAD
This reflects languages. Latin is very organized, a single verb ending changes it from like "he who did" to like "he who has done" and you're supposed to know that. It's heavily theorized (and is 100% paritially true) that Latin is specifically designed as an efficient language to move troops. So, harder to learn but more accuracy.
English on the other hand trades accuracy for a more natural way of relatively easy to understand speak (with a good bit of overlap where there is confusion)
"It's installed by default and all my friends are on it" - 50% of Americans
They don't need to worry about the fact that the other half of Americans are not able to comfortably message them, or participate in group chats, because those are people poorer than them that they might not even want to interact with anyways. Some of them might even be not white.
This becomes even more extreme as ages become younger, with around 98% of college age students and younger having iPhones (this is obviously biased to higher income colleges in metropolitian area but the data is still useful). The peer pressure of not having an iPhone is genuinely incredible (trust me, i experience it). I have genuinely had people stop wanting to be friends with me once they learned I had an Android phone.
Apple has a monopoly so powerful that they influence the social circles of almost every grade schooler and college student in America. This is why they don't want to give it up.
