To be fair scanning people’s eyeballs and giving them digital currency in return is rather suspicious.

I’d give away about half and keep half.

First thing, pull out any unneeded cables. The old red/white/yellow set from your VCR that you don’t use any more? Yank it out.

Interesting. David Zaslav, also the guy who pulled programming from HBO Max and renamed it Max.

Ads as a general concept are ok to me, otherwise a lot of the Internet that is free will either go away or cost money. It’s just how many ads and what type. Pop-up ads are bad, too many ads are bad, ads that are deceptive are bad. They need to be small, curated, non-intrusive, and non-deceptive.

A rotunda is a round building, usually with a dome ceiling. This particular one is the University of Virginia rotunda.

There’s a man who knows his rotundas.

Fairly minimalist, I like the big clock and the step meter.

Seems like scrip for the Worldcoin company store. Give us your eyeball data, get some Worldcoin, trade for a water bottle.

Bug free is not possible, but there are certainly degrees of bugs. If I pay for software that is supposed to balance my checkbook and it has errors in the math, I would expect those errors to be fixed or my money returned. If one of the buttons is 2px out of alignment, it’s not a big deal. The software should at least functionally do what you paid for it to do, without any additional expense. IMHO.

Sure. Happiness is something you need to curate, and it’s a state of mind. Lowered expectations can help. I don’t need a huge house and expensive cars and lots of material possessions. That is just more to maintain and pay for.

If I have my health and my family and friends are reasonably healthy/happy and I have free time to spend as I please, I’m happy. I try to play as much as I work, that’s the balance that works for me.

I can see both sides of this. I don’t usually update an app unless I’m having problems that are fixed in a later update.

Ongoing development of an app can be for various things. For things like bugfixes to existing code, I don’t think we should necessarily pay for that. For brand new features that weren’t promised before and didn’t exist before there could be a case for paying for that.

I don’t get the hide option any more. Resistance is futile.

You could build a solar heater to help with heating in the winter.

I don’t think I would want to even if they were popular.

If you delete a file containing the Quaran from your computer, is that bad too?

It’s interesting there is this rugged lawless place. But it’s also odd that there hasn’t been a concerted effort to make a safe passage. Of course it can be done, it’s just a matter of time, money, and mostly determination.
