Sorry I missed that. I don't think you'll ever be happy using Windows on a touch device though. Too much relies on the traditional UX pattern, especially third-party applications.
If by "better for touch" you mean a phone app: no, Thunderbird is for your computer. In Android I can recommend FairEmail.
Yeah, based on a legal request - that's how it should be. Our problems are not police listening in on criminals but unwarranted mass-surveillance.
I've been using Thunderbird since forever. It's not perfect but I like it better than bloated and laggy Outlook.
The pedometers are all so imprecise though that it showing 10k may well be 6k real steps.
Even in your example, you set everything up.
No shit. Have you installed Windows 10/11 recently? Do you seriously believe a 85 year-old will get this done on their own?
I share your overall opinion though: Linux is not "the best for most people". That would be phones nowadays. Many people don't even have computers anymore (I don't get how they organize their finances or write documents but I guess I'm just old).
My mother used Linux Mint as her last OS just fine. She struggled more with her phone than Linux. Just using browser, mail client and writing the occasional letter you're pretty much OS-agnostic.
However, while that does work, sometimes updates break something (regardless of distribution). Windows mixes shit up which makes the elderly not finding something again but Linux updates may result in the DE not starting for some reason. I moved to Linux 100% myself but I still won't ever recommend it to anyone who isn't fine with tinkering or has access to family tech support.
a lot of that comes down to low level features like GCD and ARC.
Ah, almost but this shows you're just bullshitting (knowingly or not). Those are programming features and neither serves resource efficiency but security and preventing other errors. Important things, but managing memory manually in C will be faster and less resource-intensive than any smart-pointer variant. Doing so flawlessly is hard though.
How do they break the law? The opt-in forces them to ask you first and that's what the annoying banners do. Sites that don't care about tracking also don't show these pop-ups.
Or, you know, use neither.
TIL that the two people to have been the oldest when serving as POTUS are Joe Biden and Donald Trump
Old shitheads tend to be annoyingly resilient, unfortunately.
If you think any socialist politician would behave differently, you're just naive. Look at every socialist ever. Don't think they care about you just because they publish a good-sounding agenda.
Politicians don't give a fuck about the middle class though. To get rich after holding public office, you need to get in bed with the currently rich
Even if they are not completely corrupt: it's easier to talk to a couple of mega corp CEOs instead of those of thousands of small companies (who employ the most people in total). So policy will always favor large corps. And that's where the obscenely rich are.
“Researchers say” isn't something researchers say though but journalists or "journalists" (bloggers etc).
Read their arguments above. Also, is it this Andrew Dobson? An academic but hardly an expert on the nuclear physics.
But it does carry more weight. If a celibrity voices an opinion it's almost guaranteed to become public.
That doesn't make it more valid though, it can still be bullshit. And that's why people may conclude it best, if performers focus on their area of expertise. I don't think less of people coming to that conclusion.
Or you might believe just because they're a great performer doesn't mean they have more expertise on a topic outside their area than the average Joe and is just as interesting. Yet, somehow people's opinion seems to matter more once they're in the spotlight.
