  • It definitely makes sense in the same way that the famous experiment on abstract thought makes sense. Iirc, The experimenter a hundred years ago or more asked various people in different parts of Germany questions like, if a bird flies 20 miles an hour, about how long would it take to fly from Berlin to Frankfurt, and most people just couldn’t entertain the question and would say that makes no sense a bird would never fly between those places.

    It’s only with our education system today that more people could entertain the question, how long a bird would take to fly from Frankfurt to Berlin, even if no real bird would ever do it, or not bat an eye at possessing everything in the universe in quantities of zero.











  • I do disable it. And then they add something else and I disable that, and they add something else and Idisable that, and they add something else and I search the settings and I disable whatever got re-enabled.

    Maybe you can understand why this is frustrating to people.

    At the bare minimum, there should be a pop-up saying “do you want to enable the AI sidebar feature” or whatever where people can click yes or no.






  • My system is not ideal, but I have a lifetime deal with Proton Pass for $1 a month that I hope they never change because if they do, I’m getting off of Proton.

    Currently, I have a custom domain that I use with Tuta, but I will most likely switch to a provider that is less secure and more compatible with third-party clients after my year of subscription is up.

    I also have a decade plus of email history on Gmail that I need to search through all the time and people still send me emails to my Gmail account.

    Ideally, I would have a second custom domain for my Proton Pass email forwarding service, so that I’m not giving spammers my actual domain that I care about.

    Also, ideally, I would have a self-hosted email server and client setup where I could see all my email addresses, including an archive of all my Gmail history, in one place, and it would sync changes from clients back to the central server. But I don’t know if that exists.
