Whooo ooooh no.

Hotel California. I refuse to elaborate further.

Imagine you have a book that’s written in Korean. If you gave it to me and asked me to read it out loud, I wouldn’t be able to make sense out of it. If you gave it to a Korean person, however, they could read it perfectly fine.

The book itself hasn’t changed — just the person reading the book. And that person has a different set of skills (or instructions, if you will).

Macron is the president and head of state. He’s elected directly by the citizens of France.

Attal is (was) the prime minister and head of government. He’s elected by the members of parliament. He’s appointed by the president but needs majority support in parliament.

“To form a government” usually means that someone is tasked by the head of state (president or king) to come up with a group of people (cabinet) that has majority support in the house(s) of parliament. That’s easy for Starmer when Labour has a majority. In other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, that usually requires a coalition.

That will now also be the case in France.

Well obviously not… Because the nose wheel fell off.

I say there are some fair applications of SaaS. If you use a product that requires servers to be running, paying a recurring cost for however long you need the software is fair.

That being said, mandatory SaaS on a physical product with upfront cost is decidedly shitty. Especially when it’s a 50k car.

I made the switch to full Bluetooth a few years back.

Honestly don’t ever miss the headphone jack nowadays, but I’ll admit that making the initial jump was a bit of a hassle.

Celebrated!

You should’ve acted. He’s already here.

It doesn’t help, but there are a few factors that are more limiting right now. Labour shortage is one, as are nitrogen emissions. A lot of developers also find the current building costs too high.

There are plenty of plots that can be built on, with all of the paperwork good to go.

I swore off Samsung for this reason after I had the S3. I thought the bloatware situation had gotten better over the years…

Had a few devices with stock Android that I really liked (such as the Nexus 5 and Moto X) over the years, but even then it’s difficult to escape some of the built-in bullshit.

Kind of gave up on that and switched to iPhone a few years back… You still get the mandatory vendor apps, but at least now I also get the ecosystem benefits.

Edit: Wow, I didn’t expect this to take off like this. Thanks for all the upvotes! xD

Lots of love for Bitwarden in this thread; I’d also like to pitch in with 1Password. It’s got a great UX and I even got my mom on board.

Used to use Lastpass since ~2013; really glad I switched last year. Lastpass has turned to absolute shit.
