This is exactly the appeal of an Airbnb for me. Solo traveling a hotel is adequate, bit with a family having the extra space and kitchen is a game changer. Not to mention the individual charm of staying in a unique spot vs staying on a corporate decorated to the lowest common denominator hotel room.

This is something I consistently see overlooked in these discussions. I don't dispute that it increases prices for locals and there needs to be some balance, but hotels are not offering anything close to Airbnb's for a large section of travelers.

Maybe the fact you have to be there and read it while connected is the secret sauce to prove that it's a "real" library, meaning they have a fixed number of copies (max players connected to the server at any given time) and that helps them get protected the same way a real library is?

That sounds awful. We shouldn't support that kind of invasive tech for any reason.

That's perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards

Seems more like it's own top level discussion than related to the 1985 song. But carry on, who am I to rain on your parade?

Not sure I follow. I would definitely enjoy a return to user serviceable devices, including a removable battery compartment. The phones that offer these capabilities are few and far between and often involve unacceptable tradeoffs on other features.

Is there a community for lost lemmings?

Agree on the wallet front. It's good cases are available for folks that want them, I just see a lot of folks with cases and broken phones anyway, so for me it feels like a false sense of security.

It's a risk. 🤷‍♂️ I prefer to be self insured and manage my own risk.

I see plenty of folks with cases running around with cracked screens, so it's not a guaranteed safe approach.

We're a rare breed it seems. I don't like the extra bulk and I paid for a high end phone I don't want to feel a $20 case.

infosec.pub - user instance checks out. And I'm with you, it's awful for privacy. I'll keep using the plastic card.

Math checks out, but something still seems off...

It's ok to think recall is invasive and bad for privacy, but it isn't even released yet. If you're gonna hate something and drag it through the mud, do it for real and valid reasons.

Yeah. Just warning for those that didn't watch it, starting off on the pig one thinking you're gonna see the advertisement one could be a rude switch.

Definitely black mirror, but pretty sure it is not episode one.

I don't think we should have to accept toxic behavior or content on facilitate discussions.

Perhaps the problem is that many folks are quick to label anything they don't immediately understand or agree with as toxic, and if that's what you mean I agree we need less of that.

Not quite. Most literally couldn't survive without a car, due to the infrastructure of the city/town they live in. They are a necessity for the vast majority of folks.

I've reluctantly come to the same conclusion.

Until proven otherwise, I'd assume the worst. They know your identity to travel, and they link it with profiles from all the major ad networks.

Thanks! I agree some of what's needed are more lurkers to vote up the little content that is posted, to get more folks posting.
