Also economies of scale. They will sell 10.000 TVs for every commercial display.

A monitor that size is way more expensive than a TV though.

you realize basically every single western country has a decreasing population, right?

Not decreasing fast enough. Also ‘western countries’ is irrelevant. It’s about global population.

We’re at 8 billion humans globally. A good goal would be a global population of 10 million.

Same in the Netherlands and it’s absolutely crazy. We already have too many humans, why stimulate procreation when we don’t even have enough housing for the humans that already exist.

Just use the App Store. Very few OSes as privacy respecting as iOS, certainly not we-pretend-to-be-open-source Android.

No joke. Google Play Services isn’t even available on iOS.

None of them require Google Play Services if you use their iOS app.

Why don’t apples count as pears? Why does black not count as white?

This is gravy

This is what biscuits look like

The stuff you refer to is a ragout, not a gravy.

It’s not just a language barrier, it’s also a cultural barrier. I can imagine someone being confused by this even if they speak fluent English, as the dish ‘biscuits and gravy’ contains neither biscuits nor gravy.

fzf fuzzy finder. Great tool to quickly find those files you were looking for.

But it’s not “his independence” if it wasn’t his choice to buy those shoes. You cannot be proud of your own choices when they weren’t your own choices.

I’m pretty content with Apple Music

Adding this to the very, very, very long list of reasons never to have children.

I see flirting as banter to make sexual/romantic intentions known.

That’s basically what it is. It’s not there to make someone develop feelings, it’s a way to safely make your feeling known and see if they are reciprocated. It’s basically lowering the risk of rejection, if the feeling isn’t mutual and you don’t get a response you can just write it off as a harmless flirt. If (s)he flirts back you can dial it up a notch.
