I genuinely though this was an April fools joke, then remembered we're in May. This is bad.

And also taught people how to actually look for information online. The average person still does not know how to google, I still see people writing whole sentences in the search bar.

There's a bunch more to "autofilling". 1Password has ability to generate new passwords, save new registrations, autofill MFA codes, and even read QR codes on screen to setup MFA. None of this is possible on Firefox with Keychain.

I really hope that there's a way to integrate the new passwords app into browsers other than Safari. The only reason I'm still with 1Password is because of their Firefox extension for auto fill.

the Middle-Eastern unit were literally showing videos demanding further uprising against Israel across the region directly from Hamas

I am failing to see how an article about Russia's war correlates to OP's claim about Al Jazeera showing Hamas videos calling for an uprising. Can we get a direct link to the article that the OP mentioned?

I am in Israel at the moment, and the sheer amount of racism and prejudice I've seen towards the Palestinians is unlike anything I've seen or read before. I am not surprised they are resisting the apartheid state. If I was a little Palestinian child witnessing this atrocity, I would also be resisting in whatever "group" I could be apart of. Calling this terrorism is unjustified in my opinion.

Everything you said in your comment has been debunked. IDF claimed that Hamas had HQ in Al Shifa hospital, and all they found as proof was a calendar, and they stopped saying there was a HQ. They then moved onto another hospital claiming that was the correct HQ, then that turned out to not be true as well.

Regarding ceasefire, Israel has broken a total of 17 ceasefires in the past. Ranging from assassinations to straight up bombing civilians during ceasefire period.

I don't understand your reasoning with "they do roof knocks, and tell people to evacuate, so it's all good when civilian areas get demolished and children die, that's war!"

Israel has done nothing but lie since the beginning of this genocide.

This is all happening alongside the blatant terrorism happening in the West Bank with the settlers. You can't seriously defend a nation when the leader is openly saying "wipe them all out - all of them."

I would say a combination of lifestyle and mental aspects. I do enjoy programming still, just not everything else that comes with it. Agile, meetings, business requirement documents, more meetings...

Something I have had trouble with is finding purpose - I work at a government agency, and I feel my work means next to nothing (for various reasons I can't get into).

I did manual labor for a while during university, and the sedentary nature of my current job may be contributing to my decreased interest to carry on with it.

Firefighting looks like something I'd love to do.

I came to the realization that software engineering was not what I wanted to do - about 4 years ago. 6 years into my career now. I still do it because I have bills to pay. I sometimes wonder how many others are in my shoes.

They are very much liked by people who are interested in their wealth. Which I think is the wrong reason to "like" someone for.

Not sure about the "bad pointing devices" thing.

I have a very nice Logitech mouse and keyboard setup, but still prefer to use the Macbook touchpad while connected to an external display. They're just perfect in every sense.

The Perfect Laptop 3 years ago

Good construction relative to what is available. I will take a Macbook with a sharp edge over a dell laptop where the screen frame is falling apart, the hinge is non existent, and the trackpad is useless. If you go out to find faults in Macbooks, you'll find them, just not as many as the alternative.

I see what you are saying. But a switch to turn off/on the microphone would not be used as frequently as a home button. This is why Apple still has the ring/silent switch on the iPhone. This was introduced with the first iPhone and still exists today.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? How would an event that happened 22 years ago have any effect on mental stability of young people? Especially since the article puts heavy emphasis on teenagers - who were not even born when 9/11 happened.

I think it's also the varying differences of experience in using different tools/platforms to communicate. For example, someone coming from Zoom may notice how laggy Teams is compared to Zoom. I definitely felt this way, once I experienced the alternatives to Teams, I just couldn't wait to stop using it.

Why does it need to have excel implemented into it? Why is the search function still there if it literally doesn't do searching. Why does it take 20 seconds to open a PDF?

Many more issues and questions stand out if you've previously used a platform where none of those are issues.

This is why I love BMW. They have the entire coding/updating software used at BMW dealerships online for download (not-official). You can change parameters for almost every feature on the car. Anything from disabling headunit warnings to injector control.

the reasons we don't are ethical/economical/politcal

The US's history with war is far from any of those reasons. Ethics is one of the least of politicians concern. The main reason why the US hasn't invaded a big country yet is because the world is divided in 2, and invasion would mean the end of the world.

Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen (recent ones) would beg to differ on the US's very ethical wars.
