Just a nitpick (I’m still against trickle down), but how do we know those sectors boomed from the stimulus, vs from people using those services more because they were quarantined? Video conference platforms also took off—that wasn’t from gen pop citizens spending their stimulus.

Yup! That’s what I use for all restarts and shutdowns

Wow base building and the bubble expanding? That’s decent. All part of odyssey I imagine? I’m still on horizons.

That was my take as well. She even closes with asking us if we’re reacting to actual problems, or just what people perceive as problems (in other words, spirit or letter of the “law”).

I’m on the fence. It’s a pretty subjective topic no? Public spaces will always have conflict due to many people have many preferences.

Wait, no currency?

I can understand if you want to do away with stock market contract tomfoolery. But me having to barter my goods and services all the time sounds exhausting.

Yes finally! That they couldn’t just ban the fee entirely is ridiculous.

It disturbs me that there are actually humans at these banks that look at the different revenue line items and happily report how much they made from customers making simple mistakes that could be prevented with software IF statements.

What kind of updates?

This feels weird, but I agree with you, internet stranger.

I often think about this too, though a quick search about house spiders did suggest to me they have a decent chance of survival through winter. I don’t think human structures have been around long enough for species to have adapted to be dependent on them.

Yeah I agree it’s been an extreme reaction. Perfect is the enemy of good. Maybe most proton users will be willing to seek out even lesser known alternatives and even self host. But if you’re going to talk to a casual user about getting off of Gmail and then you say “Oh but not Proton” then they’re just going to stick with Gmail.
