You must be talking about companies other than Apple. Apple has been falling into value extraction lately (which hopefully is something Ternus will turn back), but their operating systems very much have never been designed for that from the outset. Rather the opposite. Apple is the only company that comprehensively documents platform security and privacy. I can't think of anyone else who doesn't just say "trust me bro". Maybe GrapheneOS.

I see non-consensual more often, tbf.

And Sync Immediately's only affirmative option is "For Today", so I get to set a daily reminder to remind the setting that I do in fact want it to be ON.

That works for pieces that have one, although places that index those aren't always free.

I don't take transit because I don't like microtransactions. I'd rather have one car payment and be able to go anywhere I want whenever I want than have to pay a few bucks (or more) every time I move. A train ticket to visit some relatives would be like $70 while the same trip only costs me $20 in EV fast charging. (Would be less if I had access to home charging)

HN is beyond parody sometimes

YouTube Premium now has "skip ahead" which is basically this. Or you can install SponsorBlock and get a much better version for free.

Surprised to see no mention of Qubes OS yet. It's somewhat like the QEMU approach but with a type 1 hypervisor (Xen).

I'm in the US, and I see my GP every two weeks + can arrange for an appointment within about a day or over the phone whenever I need it.

If I need to be referred to a specialist though, I could be waiting months just for the initial consultation, and then months again before anything happens. Also, there just aren't specialists in my area for some things. Been trying to get a consult about dissociative disorder for years now.

My GP is great though, he constantly tells me about exciting new papers he's been reading and he loves to share science and research level stuff. It's clear that he loves his job, it makes me super happy.

(He's an MD, not NP, and he takes Medicaid)

So basically it's for the same reason that tup is fast: if the arrows go up, you need far less arrows!

AFAIK those are not different keys, it's the literal keyboard combination Cmd+Return that is interpreted as submission in those contexts. Ctrl often works just as well on Windows for that purpose as well.

Numpad Enter is definitely a distinct key though, but I've never seen it treated differently than Return (except for randomly not working in some contexts that accept Return)
