KeePass for life!

I already mentioned this elsewhere, but if you're concerned about privacy, you might consider Kobo as well; you can use their readers without having a Kobo account at all. That removes the store of course, but as long as you're ok with side loading your books, you're good.

Kobo is also great because you don't even need an account. That takes away some of the convenience features OP was asking for like syncing, but I love the fact that I don't need to hand over any personal information to Kobo in order to read my books; nobody knows what's on my bookshelf but me.

The fifth always evokes Star Wars to me, so maybe you're right about holy music.

What's the context here? Presumably not something like "How are you doing today?"

I'm from the US and I've never heard of it being super problematic, though I'd consider it a bit dehumanizing to refer to anyone by their job rather than by their name.

I'm a fan of Freschetta rising crust personally, with the caveat that you'll want some hot sauce or something for the crust.

Yup; we are not the target audience, I guess

My largely uninformed opinion has always been that it's about monetization: you don't make the kind of money off ads on a blog that you can off a popular YouTube site. That, of course, is all Google's decision. Presumably advertisers are willing to pay a lot more for video ad placement than for banner ads or something.

I've had three or four pairs of smartwool socks, and they haven't lasted more than a couple years. I have Scott ten pairs of Darn Tough I got on sale at REI that I've had for about seven years, and they're all in great shape, even the pair that I snagged on a nail once. They're fantastic, and also really comfortable.

There should have been only one.

The difference is the part immediately after you stopped quoting:

They don't understand how horrible the loss of privacy is...

What OP is saying here is that people know abstractly that smart devices are not privacy friendly, but they don't understand how big a deal that actually can be.

I prefer ZZ if I want to quit and save

Oh neat, thanks!

Yeah I bet there's a bunch of cool stuff out there. Might even be more interesting than the Dark Web.

I mean, math really is just language. That's why people argue over PEMDAS vs BODMAS and we have all those memes about "what's the right answer to this arithmetic calculation?"

It just so happens that the math language we use is sufficiently refined to very closely reflect how things work in non-conceptual space (ie the Real World), often so much so that we can use it to get a new protective on that non-conceptual space and get insights about it that we didn't have before.

Math and language are really both just symbols we use to describe the Real World; they're basically the same thing.

FYI, what you're talking about is the

The inside.

Need some context here: is this what we removed, something that's already somewhere else, a proposed replacement, or something else?

Oh interesting; I wonder if the quiz just chooses a random assortment of a big list of tools?
