And your reasoning is exactly what makes it a winning strategy. "If other people do it, then why not me?" That makes it that they are no longer other people, you yourself are a part of that group now. One could argue that it is an even worse position. It literally makes you an enabler of the problem you see in the world, while at the same time you acknowledge it as an even existential problem.
When we are with billions, we cannot all be 'truly' wealthy in a material sense and by definition your wealth will come at the expense of others. Your reasoning makes me sad as instead of questioning what constitutes true wealth, it seems you are guided by an exclusively materialistic view of it and join the destructive behaviour you see around you out of fear of not having enough.
Just out of curiosity (no rubiks cube affinity at all), but how can there be an unsolvable state when there are 'tricks' get in a solvable state? Does that not imply that there are no unsolvable states at all? Or is that maybe related to a certain method of solving?
Proton cannot access my content. Go look for cases where people are shut out of their accounts and not being able to get in.
Not sure why the downvote but hey, give me some more for sharing my motivation and experience.
I just took the plunge and moving off the MS suite to Proton. It is little bit less polished but it serves my (basic) needs. And no more worries of being locked out of everything should MS decide I`m violating their terms somehow.
I don`t use a custom domain for privacy reasons so no experience there. They don`t offer excel/sheets kind of stuff but for my personal stuff I don`t need that anyway. I like the authenticator/password manager more, it allows for saving arbitrary notes which I like for the odd governmental acces code that needs saving. The vpn is way better than NordVPN which I had before. Connects faster, and connection feels faster. No hard numbers to back that claim though.
The calendar works well with invitations from either Google and Ms, better so than the MS offering actually.
For me a perfect fit but ymmv ofcourse :)
No customizable launcher is is a big no no for me. Longtime Niagara launcher user,and anything else then a swipe-from-the-side accessible alphabetical, magnifying app list just feels archaic and convoluted.
And also two generations into the z-flip (the smaller samsung foldable) and the ergonomics of slab phones just don`t do it for me anymore. But apparently thats a controversial one.
Don`t work for kagi, and definitely not implying you are a crook. I believe your use case is not in good faith, and I also believe that you know that, but given your position it should be ok. And that is where we disagree, because I also believe you can do better. We all can. And sometimes that is something that needs to be said. I really wish you the best, and please do not take my words as an insult. It`s just the observation that my perspective grants me.
Another big tech, big money, little conscience problem. So disappointing that there is so much willingness to make money regardless of what it supports but that that courtesy is not extended to those who do the actual money making.
You say you're broke witbout income, but from reading your comments you have at least some skills to pay the bills. And I bet that if you put your back into it you can do it without misusing the only good search we've got. Or anything else for that matter.
Keep it up!
was it not available about a year ago? I'm not sure. Maybe the wayback machine can tell you. But I have a gut feeling that there is a slight misalignment between your use case and their intended use of their service :)
Thanks, I guess Hackernews generally is my 'safe haven' from politics. Really not intending to bite or insult, just a lot happier reading about Dijkstra being a pedantic nano-Dijkstrahole or someone dumping a GBA rom through audio. The stuff from OP I read everywhere else. My heart cries for the for the world and HN generally is one of my tissues. Much love anyways.
