Yeah. Well on one side, sharing location on Whatsapp has reduced by 90% the need to text while driving.

But we still need to address the rest. Radio is chokefull of ads and the usual radio content is often insufficient to overcome my loneliness, so I’m not gonna say it’s ok, but I listen to Youtube videos while driving. You can sanction me. But let’s make the radio less boring for the sake of safety.

'Entertain me better or I'll drive distracted' is a distorted view on your responsibility as the controller of a two ton missile.

I don't like ads either, but that doesn't excuse my responsibility to drive safely for the betterment of myself and my community.

It boggles my mind why anyone would update anything in 2025. Most products are shipped with full feature set and then updates ensure enshittification. The security argument doesn't apply because classic hacks rarely happen, it's mostly social engineering.

Should we assume by anything you mean edge devices? You don't update your PC? Your phone?

Awful software, I use an Apple TV or firestick to replace it

AppleTV makes sense, but Amazon's garbage is just as bad.

> Every normal person has content in Google , iCloud , OneDrive , Dropbox and maybe more. That’s 4+ single points of failure.

Well, i don't. I have my local file storage. Contacts and Calendar get synched, thats it. These get lcal backups, but aren't important so or so.

Me personally, no. I found the only way to increase my book consumption is to create accountability. Our book club is going on its 3rd year and I'm reading more than ever.

Your insults weaken your argument and detract from the overall conversation. Aim higher.

The don't tread on me angle is just as overplayed as the one you're complaining about.

> The entire premise depends on him being a monster, not some sort of misunderstood, sympathetic EMO.

This is a misconception on a similar level to thinking the monster's name is Frankenstein: "As depicted by Shelley, the creature is a sensitive, emotional person whose only aim is to share his life with another sentient being like himself."

I disagree that it's a misconception. Yes, the premise is that the true 'monster' was the creator, but the monster itself is intentionally grotesque and disfigured to teach us the beauty on the inside lesson.

Thanks, I also noticed they allowlisted the FF about page...which is a bit cheeky.

Cinema is indeed second behind streaming. The theatrical window is now so short (~40) days that audiences are happy to wait for the increased benefits and reduced cost of watching at home.

Good. Movie theaters have been anti-consumer for decades. Time for them to reap what they sowed.

I personally don't get what they are serving with a home NAS? Movies/Music/Family Photos is all I can think of, personally...and those don't seem that compelling to me compared to cloud.

I host mine locally to backup the cloud or in case Google just screws my account one day.
