But the legal notion from where you grew up might not apply worldwide right? People aren't saying you are wrong, they are just saying things are different in other places. Where I grew up you do have legal right and social expectation

Europe is a big place, but in my area of Europe it is very illegal to monitor employees this way. If you were to be fired for something that illegal surveillance turned up, I would consider it a good thing - with the settlement money you co

To provide my anecdata, my work MBP is 48GB and with nothing more than our dev environment, VSCode, Slack and Chrome it's at 34GB memory used. Modern NVMe drives make swapping to disk bearable (and it's the same on MacOS and Linux

I think it isn't as absolute as you suggest, and that it depends on city planning. I own a car but in the city I live it is not a better solution for everyday trips. Walking, cycling, or bus/tram are all far more convenient - it i

I know what you mean, though I have a device running SteamOS though and it runs extremely smoothly, the latency is no different than my windows PC (on titles where it can achieve the same framerate). I'm sure that it must be possible t

I somewhat suspect our difference here is cultural divide - I've never been to the US, but none of the things you mentioned have involved salespeople in my experience in Europe. I live in a city, have a car (bought second hand), buy th

If you're aware of it and think you're susceptible then you can make it impossible to be influenced by it. Ie, You can disable all 'related videos'/feeds/home page on Youtube with Unhook, and sponsored segments

Surely OLED is bad for a productivity device due to poor text rendering. For games or media, sure.

That isn't quite true, because the law was enacted on October 26, 2023, which was still the same party that drafted it. Of course, it is true that it is being supported by the current government, however the only way a future governmen

This is exactly what high beams are for, and even 20 year old cars have very bright high beams that are plenty safe. The problem referred to in the article is dipped beam headlights being too bright and often too high, which are making thin

I don't disagree but things would've been same under any of the major parties that could possibly get elected under FPTP. None of them have the political capital to really oppose it even if they did want to. Plus there is a media

If you have 20/20 vision, a 27" display at 1440p (~110 DPI) has a visual acuity distance of 79cm - ie, if you are sat 79cm or further away from the screen, humans are not capable of resolving any extra detail from a higher resolut

> There is no expectation of privacy in any place that is considered public. Well that entirely depends on the country - in the UK it is true, but it wouldn't be true in Switzerland or Germany, where you do have the right to privacy

If someone's aim is to avoid a wealth tax, then moving to Switzerland (one of the few other countries with a wealth tax) seems like a confusing choice. The Swiss wealth tax is payable in some cantons from ~50k Euros.

I thought Stanley cups is a weird choice to make "more shit" sound wasteful or a bad thing. Typically I think the American lifestyle is people carrying fewer things usually. I walk or cycle most places but always take a backpack,

I think you raise a valid point, but I would argue that in your photography example, the content is very much still human - portrait mode and ring lights are tools that improve the output but a human framed the picture, and pressed the butt

Sure it isn't a socialist country, but many Swiss policies would be considered socialist in US politics, eg: if you are sick/ill you receive 80% of your salary for 720 days.

I believe the middle ground is implementing `prefers-reduced-motion` alternatives for the looping animations. Then it would still loop for you, but not negatively impact people who are using reduced motion settings in their browser/OS.
