I try to be kind, honest, and fair. Sometimes, I can get a bit riled up by comments. I am sorry if I say something rude or snarky.

I console myself that this is why I never got fabulously wealthy. That brilliance is no guarantee of wealth. You need luck, too.

But the truth is, you also need to do the work. I used my conclusion about luck as an excuse to not even try. Not even in some grand way. Just in the grinding everyday way. In the way of, "You know what I should do?! I should ... meh. That'll never work."

Take it from me, kids. If you want to do something great, do it while you are still young enough to believe it's possible.

Do you really not understand the difference between the one you cited and the one to which I was responding?

The one to which I was responding was capricious. The one you cited has reasoning, even if you disagree with it.

And that was the whole point of my comment. That by reducing the other side to a farcical strawman, you diminish your own argument. It just becomes a yelling match.

I would rather debate the person you cited than sit complacently with the cynic to whom I responded.

Yeah. The last two apartments I've been in have had leaks. I begged the landlord to open up the walls and dry them out. They just painted over it, so I moved out. Sadly, that means two other people now in apartments can never figure out why their place smells musty and they feel a bit congested all the time.

IANAL.

Article 15 says you have the right to request the data and they must provide it to you.

Article 20 says you have the right to get your photos back in a machine readable format.

Sadly, this only applies to those in the EU. Americans can keep taking it, which makes sense as it's an American company that's giving it. Sigh.

Nah. I have hosted my domain for 17 years on google and then fastmail. The hosting is harder than private relay, although not too hard.

But I have only had maybe 3 services ever reject my domain, and those were because the domain contains a number.

Oh cool!

I didn't mean the YT wasn't good content. The video fascinated me, and I watched the whole thing.

I meant he is a brilliant engineer doing what brilliant engineers do. He improves things.

I get that the hardware development lifecycle differs from the SDLC. I am out of my depth. But it seems he needs his business partner to say, "Good enough. Ship. Test product market fit. Iterate."
