I have no issue with your opinion and I doubt very many others do.

I have not had it crash for me in years.

It is to me. For documents I tend to export as a pdf so there is no formatting issues on the other persons end with the file. If they ask for a microsoft format I save it as that and send it to them.

I keep wondering about aptera. They are just getting their production ready model going and I can’t help but think if they don’t have production to far setup in california they would be smarter to do it in ireland. The carbon fiber body comes from europe and the batteries from asia. So evern if they build it in the us it will suffer tariffs for like 2/3rds of the cost or higher and it will effect everything sold everywhere. If they built it in ireland then it would be way cheaper everywhere but the us and the us cost would not be all that much higher than it would be if they built it here. I assume anything else with such a diverse supply chain would be effected similarly. Like boeing vs airbus.

I don’t see one unless our society because less dependent on bullshit and honors privacy. I don’t know about anyone else but I constantly bullshit specifics about myself on line to dirty up any data collected on me.

aughts were not bad but it was falling and once we got in the teens ugh. oh and old man thing the pre www was advertisement free which was awesome.

lets not forget browbeating the fed to drop interest rates before covid hit.

people never take things as intended. always over reacting.

I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.

yup. thats essentially what I meant. email could be a book but sms was limited in size.

true but I think they had a point then. especially given the limits of the telegraph. thats like email and the original text message in some ways.

true. its dystopia because done in another way it could be utopia.

originally but it is a thing now.

yet so many sources are of questionable quality and so rarely are the pictures of anything useful. We have greatly increased efficiency but often have lost quality.

certainly, but just not as efficiently.

There is a noticable difference in electronic communication. Before the internet there were plenty of people that hated being on the phone instead of face to face. Something is lost with each loss of the physical experience. From in person to voice to text. Granted video calls actually are a bit of an improvment to a phone call as far as human connection goes.

as long as you don’t count software as technology because it, especially algorithms, are often not neutral.

This sates my appetite but I still have internal questions because I have not been to spain. Like im picturing something like faulty towers but the desk moved to the opposite wall between the kitchen and dining room.

this makes me think of the dilbert where the lazy guy talks about reusing code from payroll on this project for airline software and warns his workmates to not fly on payday.

my guess it takes at least 30 more days to be past due but often 90 and 180 days becomes particularly significant. Alls I can find in the article is:

“By the end of the off-ramp period, the New York Fed estimates that the volume of past-due federal student loans hit 15.6%, with more than $250 billion in delinquent debt.”
