LG monitor?

Thanks for elaborating, I didn’t wanna go that deep :D

There is no standardized unit of account which is not loosing or gaining value over time. However there are/were systems with more stable inflation rates than ours, like the gold standard in the US.

But the gold standard encourages hoarding money, rather than spending it, which could create even bigger wealth divides and less motivation to invest in new technologies.

Hahaha true.

I also like the Airpods Pro :) I even rebought them, when I lost them. Only apple item I ever owned. But the fit is awesome and they never hurt. I could wear them all day. And battery lifetime is probably as long as the one of a smartphone battery.

They do provide sth unique, because open source/privacy friendly alternatives are not supporting the same features to a full extent in one solution with a simple UX. And even Bing, as you mentioned and other competitors, fall short. I’m using Startpage (based on Google) and OSM most of the times and I’m happy with it, but sometimes I gotta check restaurant ratings or satellite view etc. Also route planning is way more convenient on gmaps even if I don’t use it. There’s probably more as well, which I’m not aware of.

Yes exactly, YouTube is the only google service I use almost everyday (besides Startpage)… but I wouldn’t know what to do without it.

Fair enough :)

That’s a stupid point to make tbh, because the most important information, knowledge and entertainment is on their platforms in a quality and quantity that is unprecedented. Meaning you can try to avoid it, but from time to time you have to use google/gmaps/yt/…

And that’s coming from me… someone who degoogled their smartphone.

The most annoying thing of the new design is the bs merch blocking a significant part of the comments section. But I hope there’s gonna be a ublock filter for this too

The Germans love their Hartgeld, which is why I think it will never go away completely. But yeah it definitely has gotten more common over the last years.

‘No Cash accepted’ - sth you’ll never see in Germany

Same for me. Sad days my brother
