Sounds accurate, but this is not what the CEO was suggesting. He's also now suggesting that they can't replicate it on their own devices.

+1 for the CEO engaging -10 for an implausible explanation.

Agreed, this explanation doesn't make any sense. It seems very unlikely that it's a (successful) bad update unless there are deeper problems with their update process that allow it to be a problem for multiple people. The authors

It's quite nuanced, which of course the GP comment wasn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Government policy and societal attitude are two parts of the reason. It's not really fair to compare US and Estonia really, One is managing 350(?) mill

I beg to differ on Estonia's behalf. Estonia is awesome. Happy e-resident and Estonian company owner. Happy Wise customer, Happy Xolo customer. I love Bolt (when available). Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head

Agreed, there are so many areas where the US trails the rest of the world as far as technology is concerned. The Australian taxation system tech would probably be enough to make most US citizens cry for what they have to endure, and I'

Having seen the other side (I sat next to and was friend with some corporate lawyers), customer service may have no power or latitude to deviate, but the legal team has enormous latitude to do so. They're risk averse. You don't ha

You're confusing want and need though. You might not like to live in any house, and you might need to be roughly geographically located to do work, but for the most part any house that fits your family is interchangable. When you take

I've been moving more and more to apps like Devonthink. I use Obsidian and Zotero, which while they different use cases are a similar 'old paradigm'. My thinking recently has been on the storing items in a way that will last.

Not the parent, but I suspect it's not better in the outcome, just in the amount of effort you have to go into creating and arranging vs just throwing documents at it and searching later.

Actually it's much worse than that the Australian government puts legitimate refugees on an island. I hate them for it. I digress. 1. Is not a good citation because it's anecdotal. I'm actually sure it probably happens, just

This isn't completely true (though it might as well be). It's possible to install Android apps without the Play store.

Second this. This is the second time I've written this in the course of a week, over two different items. Seems it the time for it. Getting therapy is not a weakness. They're professionals there to help you get the best outcome.

The difference between iOS and Android though is you absolutely can avoid the Google Play app store and install items directly (or through stores like f-droid). I'm not a fan of either ecosystem really, but Apple is definitely worse on

This so many times over. Therapists aren't a weakness, they're no different than a doctor or dentist -- a professional trained to help get the best outcome for you.
