This doesn’t really seem on topic. It’s not about device repairability.

It’s just “I ditched Apple and I’m happier”, which of course gets voted up.

You might have missed the ending.

"on a given day", not the same 12% every day . . . which I guess would be expected, as not everyone eats beef every day!

Are they saying that the same 12% of people eat half of the consumed beef each day? Or that 12% of beef consumers eat half of the daily consumption but that group’s membership changes each day?

If I eat a steak and cheeseburger in the same day, am I part of that group or am I never part of the group because I only eat beef 1x per week?

My first introduction to this concept was Tobin Sieber's book Disability Theory[0].

He referred to able-bodied people as TABs, Temporarily Able-Bodied. You are born a helpless infant and, if lucky, die a helpless elder.

> The cycle of life runs in actuality from disability to temporary ability back to disability, and that only if you are among the most fortunate.

Just want to highlight that this is not from Google/Gmail and I would never be convinced to install a plugin that can read my emails which is not from provider.

P.S not saying this company/product is malicious, just that it requires too much trust

wsostt · 3 years ago
Totally agree. I’ll treat Google’s future Gmail AI announcement with a lot of hesitancy. Forget a 3rd-party implementation.
