+ they reinstall apps with major updates

+ the shitshow called Galaxy Store that you mandatory have to visit if you care about security updates always greets me with a dialog that suggests to install some game _and_ I have to opt-out for _every_ game. I don't know any real world example were you can be forced to watch an ad before something broken gets fixed. That only works in the (virt.) environment of a quasi monopoly.

0 degree what?

Fahrenheit, Celsius, horizontal angle?

Yeah, and that's a reason to swing swastika flags... Maybe a lot of them are -- rightfully! -- frustrated by the working conditions, that doesn't mean it's all right to side with populists and fascists.

Sounds like somebody without practical experience.

E.g. Borg was worthless because the retrival of data was so slow from a dedicated hetzner SX6_ Host that getting data back with less than 10MB/s was disastrous for a 10TB+ repo. (Not a bandwidth problem.)

Been there, done most of the suggestions. Most of them are unpractical -- regardless what benchmarks at phoronix say and how often one jumps from solution to solution for certain aspects.

Still use ZFS, still IMO overall the best package for a lot of data management.

TLDR; Captain Obvious disvocers that institutional investors own most shares.

As if ETFs are unaffordable.

I live in an eastern German city with a university with ca. 24.000 students. The prices have doubled within 10y and weren't affordable for any two incomes below the 95th quantile. The prices in _every_ major city have increased dramatically.

The only affordable houses are run down, old ones, half an hour away from public transportation -- barely anybody wants to live there, because of high rate of right wings (eastern Germany), or lack of infrastructure (e.g. medical care). These broken minor towns and cities might decrease the average prices -- failure of the averages!

Regarding prices, from my POV the article is made-up nonsense.

As long as economics 101 is: "Hello capitalism!" ... What do you expect?

Ada. Old, but stable, with most of the same safety and speed.

... then don't that behaviour lead to a browser that honours the cheap stakes?

Any script that was doing a password comparison client-side was laughed at in the past -- rightly so --, but now that MS & Google see a business case it's fine? (And a password being a secret, is basically the same as the answer to a question).
