Yeah. I left windows at windows 8 because of it. At the same time, I left Android because I could no longer build a custom ROM with blur on a Samsung phone (it was around the time Samsung started locking USA bootloaders). The plain, flat, zero layer context drove me away pretty hard. Also, Android just looks super outdated, like as if it came out in the windows ME era and never got more than a color overhaul.

It’s absolutely possible to have full transparency and blur everywhere without being a copy. Android has a bunch of advantages that it can leverage over iOS. Multi window blur would be essential to express the depth and just plain look better than the current implementation.

The lack of blur, shadows, and color on Android are what keep me angrily on iOS despite how locked down it is. I see what you’re saying about contrast being easier on the eyes, but why can’t that just be an option on Android like it is on iOS? You can reduce blur and increase contrast in accessibility settings in iOS.

When you’re rich you can buy property anywhere in the US. You just can’t run/vote in more than one jurisdiction.

Fun fact: Democrats and GOP swapped colors in the 2000 election.

I personally know people that think sbarro (and Olive Garden as a proxy) is on par with “other pizza” as its own thing. Those people recognize it’s not “real pizza”; they just like it for what it is.

For the same reason there’s a TGI Friday in time square. McDonald’s. Olive Garden. It’s there for the tourists that rather have their slop.

Electric? Nothing under 20k that’s new. We had a Chevy Bolt on the market at 28k, but it’s discontinued now.

Even if it were 1000kg, that’s still way below what a truck would want to tow though.

I struggle to understand the point of a truck that can only tow 500kg… that and such awful range. If the range were doubled this would be a great deal, but as is it’s just dead in the water.

Sadly, Yasser Arafat refusing to take Clinton’s deal didn’t help things either. Israel/Palestine is absolutely, ultimately the fault of the British

Unfortunately, my father is exactly this individual, and he’s serious. He wants nothing more than to see other people suffer, even if he has to himself suffer (as long as his suffering is less than theirs, because otherwise that would be unfair 🤷🏽‍♂️).

Harris won nowhere near 90% of NYC. The city itself voted 68/30 for Harris/Trump. Manhattan hit 80% as the “bluest” borough. Staten Island and Hasidic Brooklyn voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

So quick question: why do people insist on using a straw? I refuse one at any chance I get offered one because I rather drink out of a cup like an adult.

on Notion: aren’t the desktop clients just electron apps anyway? The website is really solid from my useage.

KDE Connect was rock solid when I was testing it out with an S24u. The only real issue I had with it was that it was missing RCS (RCS is locked down to only proprietary google messages/iMessage systems) and a seamless way to go from desktop notification to SCRCPY/screen mirroring.

Considering he has a notepad and pen out, I’m guessing he’s a translator.

There’s a bunch of influencers online that did the “boat life” thing in the Caribbean, so definitely check those out to learn from their mistakes.

I’d be willing to go out on a limb and say boating westward, from Panama, in the pacific would be basically impossible in a pedestrian boat.

The hard winters of QC really jack up the cost of living to the point where it’s not really worth it compared to other options you’ve listed. Also, immigration is more difficult in Canada vs France, IMHO (Canada is pretty strict about “what benefit will you bring to the country from your citizenship?”). Granted, Guyana is probably cheap living, but it’s really difficult to live there without being fluent in French (many of the locals speak French as a second language; relying on English to communicate will be incredibly difficult when French is the unifying language there, not English). The entire département has less than 300K people living there.

France is by far and away the best European country to immigrate to if you want to explore overseas tropical territories!

Get to at least an A2 level in French before traveling there, with B1 being a stretch goal. France is really well laid out, and there’s almost an obsessive compulsive culture of labeling everything, so you can really learn the language by just walking around a major city and reading everything.

I’d imagine establishing residence in Paris would be the easiest way to go about immersing yourself, getting naturalized, and then moving on to wherever else. Remember, the tropical overseas départements are generally financially poor and lack opportunities even for locals. There’s a reason why there aren’t giant populations in these tropical places.
