If that's what you have to tell yourself, fine. But at least be intellectually honest here and admit you're simply willing to condone child abuse because you think Google or whatever looking at your texts is more egregious
Seriously. This is not in any way new - it's just that now people feel more comfortable saying the quiet part out loud.
They don't actually believe in the teachings of their religion. It's just a convenient armor they can cloak themselves in to deflect criticism.
Blockchain? Oh, hah, no no... none of us were ever hyping up a tech we didn't understand as the solution to literally any problem.
Say, have you heard about AI? It's a revolutionary technology that's the solution to any problem!
Which is fair. If it's something you use all the time, obviously an app is usually going to be the way to go.
But the reason they want you to install the app is so they can send push notifications and track you more effectively
Yeah, it's a lot to pay for a keyboard that might not work out for you. That's why I suggest the Logitech.
I'd prefer one without the numpad, personally like the old Microsoft Sculpt, but for some reason MS refuses to update that keyboard to a more modern, lower latency wireless tech.
I'm currently flirting with some of the mechanical options like the Moonlander, but haven't yet pulled the trigger on that one.
As for the mouse, seriously the vertical mouse made a HUGE difference for me. More than the keyboard honestly.
Ergo keyboard and vertical mouse.
I'm currently using the Logitech K860 and the Logitech MX Vertical. Easy rec - cost effective, easy to get comfortable with as opposed to the more intense/expensive options.
Made a huge difference for me.
On the off chance you're actually serious.
The thing I was pointing out is that you have a union. Unions are actively and aggressively busted by US companies. Almost every US state has "at-will" employment laws that mean you can be laid off at any time for pretty much any reason at the drop of a hat.
All of a sudden that 400K or whatever you were expecting to make this year turned into $0. You no longer have health insurance. Those RSUs you had vesting this year are gone (and those RSUs made up a big chunk of your compensation - that's how people get into the 300-400K+ a year numbers).
The highs can be high, but the lows are very low.
...according to my union statistics...
I mean... you've got to be trolling at this point. No one is this clueless.
I feel like we're splitting hairs here. MIT is an extremely permissible license. The fact someone could take this and make a closed source fork doesn't affect the existence or openness of the MIT licensed releases
Source?
