It seems like this company is on its way to a toxic workplace. And you are just an employee, not a co-owner. You even mentioned earlier in another submission that you would like to start own business. Focus on that! Look for a new job in the meantime if you need it.

I believe it has some advantages that while you are waiting at the train station your clock shows exactly the same time as the train conductor’s several miles away from you.

Though I absolutely agree, you should learn to ignore the things that disturbs. Today the AI, last year the crypto, two years ago the NFT, three years ago the Covid… there always will be something. Just skip them right in the head.

And we are not old. Just oldschool. But it’s good.

I came for this comment. This. Author did not limited social media, just cheating themselves.

Just delete your accounts and never go back. The family, the workmates, the children’s school can reach you when it really needed. All other stuff is just litter what they share there.

I am really looking forward when this becomes a base topic in the elementary schools (including tips how to use mobile apps). Right now it’s self-evident that children learn using Chrome and Google

Strongly not recommended to use!

Privacy policy and TOS was just copy pasted from some template, I bet that the owner didn´t even read. Even worse: the owner didn´t even care, probably.

Assuming that TOS is knowingly written: "By displaying Your Content, you grant Family Tree Builder a non-exclusive, worldwide irrevocable, sub licensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate and distribute it in any and all media."

This is exactly what I DON´T want to happen with my family members data.

Do not forget that what Sweden took action was accommodated to the general behaviour of the Swedes. They keep a reasonable distance at all. If any restriction is only a recommendation and not a strict rule, they comply anyway. They generally have better state of health than many - even European - country.

Did Sweden act much better than other countries, and got much better outcome? Yes.

Could the same work in other countries? Most likely not, except other Nordic states.

Is math real? 3 years ago

Mathematics describes perfectly that happend in the past 13,8 billion years, and also everything that will happen in the next 137 quintillion years.

I can´t see why would anybody question if it is real.

"If it looks stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid." Sell your iPhone, buy a traditional (not-smart) phone. If you don´t have self control to stop this behavior by yourself then you need some drastic move.

I don´t know either Swish or Contexts, but both looks like a window manager. Can you tell me, why do you need both? I use Spectacle, but sometimes it feels like I need some more flexible.

Edit: Nevermind, my bad. Contexts is a switcher, not a manager

I never understand why the "man in the street" with their zero knowledge will decide if which type of power plant is safe/sustainable/economical. Imagine if they would be also allowed to tell your car mechanical what is wrong and how to fix that.
