I agree with your general sentiment here (that such an arrangement is not trustworthy enough for me to feel completely private) but your delivery of said sentiment is really fucking rude, dude.

Even if it’s not secure enough for you or I to feel private, it likely exceeds the security necessary to satisfy most people’s threat models so they can not only feel private but objectively be more private than if they just used Google docs.

incremental or opportunistic privacy improvements are better than none, a fact that has seemed to be lost in elitist privacy circles these days.

my mistake. I thought they’d said “Tomato Tomato” but now I understand I misread it and it’s “Tomato Tomato”. I ought to be more careful.

uh, you got them backwards, it sounds all weird that way. I think you meant “Tomato Tomato”

this is so wholesome. I’ve never delved into vtubers because it seemed like a lot of anime girl avatars being spazzy in video games, but this is so digestible and of course dads would have no problem listening to a literal bear talk about tools. I’ll have to broaden my horizons maybe.

man, that was such a bummer. when they got along well, they had such amazing chemistry. People change. sometimes it’s good, sometimes it sucks.

bunch of fuckin art pirates. crying about software piracy while they have their own bots pirating everyone’s art.

clearly a landing pad for alien anglers

every year of high school I and the rest of my class ('08) had was the same curriculum repeatedly.

history: ww2 bulletpoints, same as last year. write a paper about how bad the nazis were but how complex the situation was, actually, so don’t be so judgemental.
lit: baseball?? books and writing exercises about baseball.
math: algebra 1 over and over. I once got sent to the office for a disciplinary discussion for asking if we’ll ever hit algebra 2.
PE: no, none whatsoever.
art: watch whatever movies, free form ungraded discussion aka nobody does shit.
science: watch vaguely sciencey documentaries and write a paper about an animal’s behavior and habits.
electives: none, a myth we heard whispers of amongst older friend siblings.
foreign language: Spanish 1, every year.

i left right before my senior year and started working. I’ve never been sure if that was the right call or not but my friends that graduated are borderline illiterate to this day and completely math averse for sure. so I don’t think another year of ww2 baseball algebra would have helped me much more.

not sure why you’re getting downvoted for this, I had the same experience with my education in the US. high school class of 08, lol. the school never taught a math class past algebra 1. if you finished it, you still needed math credits per year, so they’d just have you retake the same class. seriously. absolutely abysmal. 95% of the math I do now is self taught. from my “education” alone, we never got much past solving basic linear single-variable equations. most of my class graduated barely literate. really, most of my class simply left, myself included - the dropout rate was astonishingly high around 08, and instead of doing the same classes and curriculum for the third time in my senior year, I opted to simply leave, educate myself, and shortly thereafter start my business.

easy.

• coffee - cream and sugar
• toast - sourdough, buttered
• hash browns - add Chipotle Tabasco
• bacon - barely crispy
• eggs - over easy, so I can dip my toast in the runny yolk
• more coffee - more cream and more sugar

best breakfast. fite me.
might make breakfast for dinner tonight.

wow. does the factory that made it have absolutely no quality control processes in place? I would be embarrassed to own a vehicle that did that, and more than a little worried about it’s safety.

I was once personally responsible for making Red jump off the long ledge in front of the elite 4 in the very first Twitch Plays Pokémon. it happened a lot but I know I caused it once. sometimes it’s so easy to be a villain.

this is my plan when it stops working, and I think everyone should do the same once they brick them. throw it into a box, hand write a note that says “stopped working. repair/return or refund please. account #1234567” and mail it to the office in your country. New York, for me. when they won’t do either, start making noise about Spotify stealing your device and demand its return or sufficient compensation by any channel available.

sweet, a quantum immortality tester that prints money.

for real. had a friend with a big relatively-new truck with a stubby bed try to have me help him move. I show up with my 2003 ford ranger, made before trucks primarily became male fashion accessories. he’d teased me about it before because it’s apparently a “small truck”. yet somehow barely anything fit in his toy truck and my “small” truck handled his couches and mattresses fine. teased him about his truck in return, used the ol “not the size it’s how you use it” line, and have never heard him talk shit about my little truck again.

I always thought it should be “unlock”, because that’s more what is happening. you’re not buying it, renting has a connotation of a fixed term ownership time, but unlock describes the action… they’ve had the movie the whole time sitting there, probably in a CDN near your home already, but you’re not allowed to see it until you pony up. it’s locked away.

same. I buy a lot of software/games and media/music/movies, and before I buy I always make sure I can pirate it down the road if I need to. if I can’t, I reconsider how much I need it. I’ll switch to my pirated copy at the drop of a hat without a drop of guilt. if it has annoying or unperformant drm? it makes me sign up for an account to use my paid software on my own computer? its servers go down and it won’t boot? switched.

this was my experience too. kept putting it off because I assumed I’d need to tinker a bit. didn’t at all, worked immediately with only the simplest configuration. genuinely amazing, I wish my software worked that well.

same. an ad for a thing means the thing is shit. they have to try and trick you to get it instead of letting its quality organically speak for itself.

when things are actually good, you don’t need an ad agency to tell you.
