I know and i still don't care. All the crapton privacy violations and vendor lockin we all have to deal with are a direct cause of the unwillingness of these people to value their own and others privacy.

That has a bad impact on me and many others. Thats way worse than sometimes beeing reminded that you are using a system that perpetuates these problems because you are lazy.

People line that are fucking all of us over with their carelessness but cry out loud if someone dares to suggest to try a system that doesn't want to steal all our data and rip us off?!

Wow, thats expensive, wasn't aware it got that expensive. I bought it for 5 bucks or so a few years ago.

To be honest, I would still pay, if I hadn't already, it's that good.

I second that! Been using it for ~4 years now and I so much prefer it to the old launchers. After installing it I completely stopped testing new launchers.

Does anyone still remember the old (2010) launcher called slide it. Unfortunatly it was discontinued and I have always been searching for an adequate replacement. In Niagara I have found it.

Anyway, back to why i like Niagara so much. With every other launcher the workflow is like this:

  • swipe up for menu
  • swipe 2-5 pages left or right till you reach your app
  • click your app icon

which takes ages and is tedious.

On Niagara I just swipe along the left or right edge until the letter my apps name is starting with appears and click the icon. That's it.

Having notifications beneath your favorite apps and an included media control app when audio is playing is superb. (I'm using the pro version). Calendar is aCalendar btw.

Best few bucks I have ever spend for some android app.

You are contradicting yourself. By moving into a wealthy country you neither gain education nor wealth. Its about culture and environment.

My guess is: in wealthy countries people are living more isolated. Without help from friends and family you have to invest a huge amount oft time into rising a child, which many can't afford.

so you are saying 44 bits of entropy is not enough. the whole point of the comic is, that 4 words out of a list of 2000 is more secure then some shorter password with leetcode and a number and punctuation at the end. which feels rather intuitive given that 4 words are way easier to remember

see, you didn't get the whole comic. 4 words out of a dicitionary with 2000 words has more combinations then a single uncommon non gibberish baseword with numeral and puction at the end. as long as the attacker knows your method.

a dicitonary attack will not lower the entropy of 44 bits, thats what the comic is trying to say

As a european i think its fucking disgusting that sick days in america are substracted from vacation days. Don't you deserve any vacation because you happen to be sick more often then someone else?

Here in germany, if I geht sick during a vacation, i'll call work and get back all the vacation days that I happened to be sick, because everyone should use his vacation days to regenerate and relax, not to lie in bed being sick.

It does, but that doesn't cause the error. After failing to boot via pxe the system tries to boot from hard disk and that fails too. Bad HDD most likely

Give it 5 more years in hardware performance improvements and software/model optimization and I don't see a problem. The important part is that improvements are made public for everyone to use and improve upon instead of letting openai and microsoft take the whole cake

We'd need a way to attract CO2 to separate it from the rest of the air, and afaik that doesn't exist.

Call me crazy but what about plants and trees?! 🤷🏼‍♂️

They might not be 100% efficient but it's dirt cheap to plant them, let alone not destroy the rest we still have
