Yeah, I’m hoping the next iPad Mini will support this. At that point I would happily replace my laptop with it.

That said, I’d probably miss the full-size keyboard cases of its larger siblings. The iPad lineup never makes choosing one easy haha

Yeah, this was my issue when trying to switch to Proton. Even on PopOS, I can sign into my Gmail account and get my email, calendar, cloud storage… They’re just there, in the desktop. Same with my phone. Proton I could get to work with Thunderbird… if I let them run their app in the background. I could subscribe to my calendar on desktop… But can’t add or edit events. Cloud storage access required upload/download from a browser.

It’s the annoyance of switching all my accounts, yes, but it’s also that everything feels disjointed and half-baked compared to Gmail right now. I’ll be checking in on Proton and when they can get 90% there, then I’ll switch.

You pay for these things with your data. If the government is paying for privacy-respecting storage or safe internet access, then so are you with your taxes. I'd vote for that, but I'd guess the majority of people would not.

And why wouldn't they? 90% of the software people use daily is free (as in beer), so of course being told that's going to change is going to cause upset. It takes a lot for people to want to pay money for something that, to those who don't value free (as in freedom) software, is no different than the costless alternative.

Something I wish I understood a lot sooner in life.

Same here. I also don’t understand people saying they don’t want to wait for cold brew… You literally make it the day before and I have 3-4 days worth of coffee ready to go. Literally hop out of bed, pour, drink. It’s been a game changer for me.

I still enjoy the process and and warmth of a pour over when time allows, so I’m getting the best of both!

Apparently, you do.

This is likely largely untrue, and many, if they are, are not getting what they think they are.

If you know someone who takes Adderall without a prescription, encourage them to stop. Leave it for people who need it.

Underuse IMO. We’ve grown complacent in so many regards.

That setting is now only available to accounts that meet certain criteria (subscribers, views, whatever), or so I’ve heard. Depending on the videos you frequent, they may or may not meet those criteria.

And yes, this means that if you’re a small channel Google can force you to show ads without giving you any of the revenue.

I’d think this is just as much about data access as data safety. It’s a lot easier for China to gain access to and control their employees’ data and usage if they’re using a China-made Android phone than an iPhone.

Apple has to make special allowances to comply with Chinese law, but I’d imagine their phones are still keeping far more user data out of the Chinese government’s hands than their local competition.
