I consider myself lucky that my body started outright rejecting alcohol around 25. Prior to that I was drinking about 3 liters of liquor a month. Half a beer triggers a multiple day migraine now. It's the perfect excuse to not drink as well, so if you're getting pressured feel free to use it.

As with many things there's a spectrum from intentional malice to not being paid to care to not even considering it.

I think especially in laptops not having that feature is really missed by even a lot of "normal people" and the necessary hardware would cost what, a couple dollars max?

I think the fact that other methods (WiFi direct, Bluetooth file sharing, etc) are so poorly or slowly supported, when the "how do I get this file to you?" question is so common, is evidence enough to suggest that there have been a number of conversations following this form at various companies.
"Let's support WiFi direct".
"Why would anyone want that when they have onedrive/icloud? wink nudge"

I am pleased to hear it's coming with USB 4 however. Maybe the sneakernet isn't dead afterall.

Thank you! Same for phones. Why don't you give me 2 USB C ports if you must take away my headphone jack? What if I want to change and listen to music?

Also it's the highest form of bullshit that I can't just plug two computers into each other with a USB C and transfer a file at like 10 gb/s.

In fact I have a conspiracy theory that they intentionally make sharing a file directly between two devices with no 3rd parties difficult so they can control and surveil what is shared more easily.

Maybe countries with nuclear capabilities will start threatening to nuke eachother if they don't follow climate agreements.

Warming oceans affecting currents and the reflective ice sheets disappearing leading to probable runaway temperatures after we hit a certain threshold have been being discussed for decades. In a couple years you're going to hear a lot of politicians and oil funded think-tanks saying "no one knew this could happen!!"

isn't doing nearly enough and is way too late.

What's the last time you could accuse a Democrat of doing "too much and too fast"? Never? Starts to paint a picture that maybe they're doing a deliberate go-slow and don't actually care about doing anything 🤔

I don't know, I suspect if a white kid threw a rock at a cop here and got shot there would be a sizable number of

"Play stupid games.." posts

Remember the white guy who got shot AFTER the police said on recording that he was holding a PHONE and one of the defenses used was "The phone could have been used to activate a bomb"? After that I'm ready to believe that USians would side with the cops no matter what.

Me, every day: Damn I lost my phone again, better ring it (with KDE connect <3)

Me, 2 seconds later: Oh fuck who's calling??

You losers need to post harder
