I placed a scratching post next to the couch and bed so that the cat can't damage the furniture. As of the carpets, they are quite robust and cheap to replace, I'm on the same boat with you. Good thinking!
Social media would be drowning in negative posts about Bill Gates if they were a thing in the 90s. The only difference, perhaps, is back then the industry was still at its early years, it was quickly evolving, so many brilliant people had a chance to achieve something too. Today, it's huge corporations where each individual has virtually no impact.
Twitter is still a major source of information, a lot of media and news agencies refer to what is posted there. Calling it an irrelevant echo chamber is incorrect. For a lot of journalists, analysts, scientists, and experts in virtually every field Twitter is the main platform and it is the only way to follow them. I don't know why people ignore that fact. Perhaps, due to ignorance.
I honestly don't understand why macs are so popular in IT. Flexibility and configurability are not the words that can be used to describe their system.
I'm not a legal expert, hence the question: isn't GDPR about personal information? Name, IP, physical and email addresses, etc. I don't think reddit comments fall into this category, maybe with the exception of particular comments with particular personal information.
On the other hand, you have to keep your system specs up to date manually on protondb. I don't know how many people keep their kernel and video driver versions up to date. Steam could pull the latest system configuration when I submit a review.
A software with zero support because the developers and the community speak only Russian. Thanks you, but no. If you want to go international, use English.
Reddit, Twitter. I don't understand why they are putting so much effort into making sure that people can't use them comfortably. I always thought there should be as few barriers for the user as possible, otherwise they might drop out. Are these platforms more concerned about selling data for LLMs now?
