It's not worth it to me. Privacy .com randomizes my payment info, hides my name and address from merchants, and doesn't sell my info to advertisers. It doesn't do NFC payments, but I never cared about that.

I feel the brush of a sea breeze in my cheeks.

"Modern" Skype is also Electron/web crap.

That’s why the IMF had guideline. Sri Lanka couldn’t meet those guidelines so they went to china. It wasn’t the interest rate. China knew what was going on. They had the ability to make china merchant port 65 percent ownership. They could of forced them to wait. It’s a debt trap plain and simple. Plus your whole argument was that china was using debt trap diplomacy.

Meanwhile they've "updated" the Linux users from a working electron app to a PWA that doesn't even do notifications. Completely unacceptable for production use.

Explains a lot about Reddit as well, and the collusion between the "Power mod jannies" and the admins. Hell, that could be approximately a dozen or so paragraphs just covering what Reddit was in 2010 versus how it is today.

Still bloated and slow as heck. Twice as fast as an eternity to start up is still an eternity.

Bing chat which uses ChatGPT can do that for you properly, it will actually read the webpage instead of just the title. https://www.bing.com/new

One day we'll even have something similar to the OS from the Her movie?

Teams was frankensteined to become something it wasn't originally intended for - it wasn't meant to be a competitor to Slack, or Zoom, or the new Skype for Business. So I take it that they're finally getting around to re-writing some of the fundamental structure to support what it has become. One can hope, anyway.

Okay, but that doesn't really apply to my point. My issue was with your statement that, "On top of that they actually profit from ads on the site, so the publishers are also using those profits to strengthen their case."

There are no ads on the Internet Archive. That's it, my whole point, nothing else. If you still don't believe me, go to the Internet Archive and look around. I'm not looking to argue about it.

Or attend Google meets instead of you, yay!

>That’s beside the the point

No that's literally not besides the point. That is the point. Sri Lanka mismanaged the whole project and couldn't pay their debts because they didn't follow the plans that were established for them. It is not China's, or any country's, duty to baby a nation if they decide they want to go their own path. If Sri Lanka decides they want to move on with phase 2 immediately after phase 1, then that is solely on Sri Lanka and no one else.

I bet you also believed Iraq has WMDs

Man I hate Teams big time.
Was forced down our throats coming from Slack and it's like night and day

And this is why you make sure that you have the assistants set to recognize who is speaking.

Or, use an iPhone. From personal experience, if you can get Siri to do something useful, you’ve earned whatever you can get.

I didn't make it past the title.

A generous take on a series of bad decisions by CEOs at all these companies. Stop giving these people more credit by saying things like "on purpose" and "to appease investors." These corporations are out of touch and made huge amounts of risky investments that didn't pan out. They deserve to fail.

That’s beside the the point, China knew very well the couldn’t pay back the loan. The loan about the 2 percent was made with contingent that the China merchant point would get 65 percent in 2012. In 2016 when they relinquish 80 percent ownership for 99 year contract. They couldn’t pay it off.

What the fuck are you talking about lmao. Unreal.

it's 1984 already? time flies.

Sad to see data not be sufficient evidence. Publishers aren't losing anything, other than potential ambassadors and fans
