I personally prefer boring news backed by quality journalism and funded by people rather than sensational, outrageous and superficially controversial news! If I want the excitement I watch a drama or action movie. I think the news articles&

This might be beneficial for visually impaired if the performance (closer to natural voice) is better than the default text-to-speech softwares on the OS. I think this is an important factor. However OS makers can catch up and threaten the

True! The “Literacy” rate has been increased drastically but that’s not the same thing as education. Something is wrong with the system that despite teaching basic biology and physics in high schools, you still find a significant number of

Other big services sometimes solve this problem by creating a data center in EU for European customers (DataDog, 1password, etc.). I don’t know how feasible could that be in Zoom’s case technically, but if they see a threat of losing custom

If I understood your problem correctly, you need to listen to Spotify through your HomePod which is on the same local network as your Mac. This is what I do on macOS. I press on the little megaphone icon (enable it in OS sound preferences)

I have been there in a few of these buildings that use wind catchers. I can say that, as a modern day human, these work pretty well in their dry weather! I can that see you've never experienced it and maybe your skepticism is a result

Well yes, clarity and good practices can definitely help but to be fair, software developers might often do this: (_ < 5) Instead of this: (e: Int) => (e < 5) It’s just a trivial example so I understand if someone wants to have the
