Thank you for sharing this. I probably missed something very obvious, but under which circumstances does information the user enters leave the user's device and go to Google? Is th…

Honest question: how? It seems to me that when I sign in to Apple ID, it automatically signs me in to iCloud. I've found this quite annoying.

There seem to be four main use cases: (1) AppStore This is especially relevant on iPhones and iPads where this is the only way to practically access software and updates. (2) iClou…

Logseq ( https://logseq.com/ ) as an offline-first, open-source variant.

To be fair, it seems to simply have followed the customer's instructions. The fact that it did not give any helpful answers bothers me significantly more. I wonder if it has access…

Thank you!

My mistake as I rushed to cut the title down to fit. Probably doesn't help that I'm sick...

I am so thankful for this sane, no-nonsense distro. It's a breath of fresh air in an ocean of design decision insanity. (Obviously whether anybody will feel this way will be a matt…

I concur. Used to be an Ubuntu user, and for me Mint fixed quite a few of the problems I started having with Ubuntu (e.g. snaps). Plus, I find their defaults quite usable. If you l…

I, for the life of me, cannot understand how something as essential as healthcare does not take priority over comparatively less essential things. It must be an unintended result o…

In theory, yes. In practice it seems this might be, once again, relatively easy to avoid or restrict. Simply put up identification barriers that are so high none but the most deter…

Since I have not seen anyone mention it here, https://write.as/ might also be an option for someone looking to replace Medium. Hosted by them or self-hosted. Not affiliated in any …

Does anybody else find their pricing quite, uhm, labyrinthine?

Tangent here, and possibly not helpful, but just in case: I use handwriting (Gboard includes this) with a cheap touch pen on my mobile b/c I hate typing on these screens. Works lik…

I'd argue it's about the level of intrusion and your options in dealing with it. My phone blaring at me at any time w/o warning and with no way to control this behavior seems quite…

Thank you, I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
