Honestly: Why? It’s an opt-in feature you have to go enable. You can just not enable it and nothing changes for you.
The answer is in the article. What if your peer has it activated? All your communication, screenshots etc will still be monitored.

I am a heavy user of spotify and their "station/radio" feature. Like a song? Go to it's song-station and explorer other songs like it.
It's this kind of discovery that keeps me using Spotify.
Are there any alternatives to that?
Such news always remind me of the great filter hypothesis [1].
They also remind me on how ignorant we all are/were. Now "simply" stopping high energy consumption is not enough anymore.
Perhaps SpaceX-Musk is right in what he does, although Mars makes a terrible home.
I feel like many of the points are complaining about the parsing side of JSON. Not the format itself.
You can argue that a format is useless when "everyone" parses it "wrong" but no specification on this earth is free of that.
Using a lot of json in our API space and it working fine (so far) leads me to think that OP complains about something that does not fit their use-case.
Firing people for choosing something that does not fit "your" use-case seems like a wild take.

I think, most people who want to be immortal are actually motivated by either the fear of death, or the desire to travel far and experience life in the future. But these are distinct motivations.
Immortality itself does not compute. It just does not make sense. You are a product of your time. So if you end up 10000 years in the future, what is going to happen? It wouldn't be good if you were still you, a 2000 millennium person. So lets say you managed to evolve entirely to become a 10000 millennium human (if that's even a thing). Then, you're not really you anymore. There is no discernible continuity. So in effect it's like you died and were reborn multiple times over. "Immortality" only really makes sense over smaller timescales on the order of centuries, at most.
I can tell you, I have relatives who were alive before WWII and although they are alive, they are not part of the present. They are not fascinated by AI, they are not on Instagram or TikTok, they are not really partaking in the present, but mostly reminiscing the life they used to have in their childhood and early adulthood.
Depends on the type of immortality. If we can fight typical aging processes, then a big part of the problem you state would go away.
Old brains don't learn and think as fast as young ones do, this has purely to do with ageing and cell/dna defects over time.
Old people are not hyped by AI and new tech, because most of them don't understand them and i think this has much to do with the reason stated.
Not to say there is not a possible psychological problem for us when living forever, it just cannot be researched right now because, you know, we tend to die. Let alone the implications.. insurance, prison sentences, housing, population and control of it...

If you want to use powertoys run, i highly recommend the plugin for everything here. [1]
Everything [2] is an indexer that will make finding your local files super fast. If you couple those two, you have a launcher that is able to find all files on your drive very fast (and launch applications of course).

The whole PowerToys suite looks useful. I'm trying to find some time to get familiar with it all.
Also want to get going with komorebi (https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi) as I've looked at the Linux tiling window managers for years with envy.
Komorebi is quite good, although it has it quirks with some applications that spawn child processes.
Make sure to make yourself familiar with application specific configs, there's already a whole community-driven config for that [1]. But all in all it's very beginner friendly, since it does enable you to float windows still (and pause komorebi).

> People hate Office? I don't think I've seen any significant hate for Microsoft Office
They absolutely do. Many people hate the office suite in its entirety, lots of people hate some program in particular (I particularly despise Word). Most people are indifferent and have accepted that $Program is what they are using in $Job
This is worthy of some sources, no? People on HN, technology professionals, might hate office. But we're not majority and I've never seen researched/polled numbers about hating office...
That’s brilliant …
Or a brilliant restatement if the original peter principle (to gives props eleswwhere :-)
So we just stop promotions … I think ???
Where i work the only way to get a noticeable jump in salary is promotion. I call this "horizontal scaling" of salaries.
I believe the "vertical scaling" of salaries would be a better fit. Some already have it in tariffs, most of the time there are tough limits to what you can earn as "simple developer/project manager/sales clerk".
So yes, probably promotions are not the right action often, but the other options need to be improved.
edit: i lacked the explanation of vertical scaling: rising salary in the job you are currently doing and building expertise and experience. Opposed to being horizontally moved to a whole different job where your expertise is probably worse.
Unfortunately, that excitement didn't last long. Shows started disappearing from Netflix, so we signed up for another service, then another, and so on. Prices kept going up, and I eventually realized I was paying a lot of money for very little in return.
At the start of the year, I cancelled everything. With the help of a few scripts, I've essentially replaced Netflix and the rest, without any downsides and at virtually no cost. I now have 4K streaming, instant playback, no device limits, offline viewing, and access to what's essentially the world’s entire media library.
The moment a company offers all that at a fair price (I’d even pay $50+ per month), I’ll gladly switch back.
I was always wondering about how this approach could provide "instant playback". This is the one feature that keeps me ensnared to the big streaming services TBH. It's hard to get into the matter if one does not have much time to scoop information from the web.
