Any kind of lending facility, for example, is required, by law, to retain identity documents for an extended period of time - we're talking around five years _post_ account closure.

So most businesses are not permitted to just delete the data.

Sugar is not addictive nor is it "much more harmful than alcohol". No one out there is just eating spoons of sugar because of its addictive properties.

Your post about obesity doesn't imply it's all about sugar.

One of the reasons obesity is such an issue is because of the combination of sweet and savoury foods that are very calories dense and not very satiating.

Yes, the cost of AI is a big contributing factor.

I don't think it an either / or. The current AI models, as they are, improve productivity quite a bit. They're just super expensive but the expense is being subsidized so it appears reasonable.

An alternative possibility is that the models become much cheaper and their use becomes more ubiquitous which would be helpful.

I think you're vastly underestimating the technical illiteracy most people have with computers.

99% of people buy a desktop and don't even consider what the operating system is let alone think about changing it to something else. I would imagine they don't even know that a difference exists between operating systems.

There's a couple but nothing I've found at the level of i3 or whatever the hyprland equivalent is.

And all the other benefits of the world around you at large. Come on dude.

I knew I was building a library if unplayed games for a reason.

I think the evidence of all human progress disagrees with this statement fairly strongly.

I think people don't speak at their phones simply because the experience is so horrible.

I would LOVE to be able to voice control the various aspects of my phone but it's so mind numbingly frustrating that I'm annoyed just thinking about it. If it was better I would sacrifice other features for it.

Get a lab diamond. It will end up costing around a quarter of the price.

I haven't used windows in a long time but I love seeing features like this.

I mean, even if you take one tenth of those figures that's still 18 million people.

Ah yes, the "server side rendering is really simple to build" crowd has arrived. Let's reduce the nuance of the argument by insulting new Devs!

Everyone mentioning multiple apps such as "rectangle" or "amethyst" doesn't really understand how restrictive they are compared to tools like i3 or sway.

Window snapping, tiling and screen navigation is a HUGE deal. I basically don't use my mouse when programming in Linux and it's really difficult to do the same on Mac.
