You know that there ate Eco friendly alternatives right? And we could have had them sooner, more variety and better technology if it hadn't been for the oil barrons suppressing anything not crude oil based.

Having a public transport/cycling/pedestrian centric society doesn't mean you get rid of private vehicle ownership in totality. It just means private vehicles are more for people who actually need them (like folks in rural areas) than pointless status symbols and the like. Also I've lived rural and known people who've had vehicle cooperatives (vehicles are shared) that worked out better for everyone.

This level of cute aggression would be met with immediate and painful hostility from our cats. They (rightfully) expect personal space to be respected.

Love how people talk about stuff like 16TB being hardly anything and here we are struggling on 4TB cause storage has always been expensive in this country and is currently almost completely unaffordable.

Better yet, if the artist has a website or something like Bandcamp buy from there so they actually get a decent chunk of the money you give instead of the pittance left over after the distributors and record companies have taken their cut.

Yes, but there were three gotchas that make it difficult to use for our purposes - one is that you have to have your phone on and connected if you want to use the same account on another device. Given I use my phone as much like a dumb phone as possible and turn data off when I don't need it (aka most of the time) it's impractical to use. We kinda got around this by having different accounts for different devices bit it left you guessing which account to contact someone on because you don't know if they're on their phone, laptop, PC, etc.

It uses a a chunk of battery and the devs seem completely disinterested in UnifiedPush.

A lesser but helpful feature that's lacking is web chat. It's a lot easier to get family and friends sold on alternate chat clients if they can try it out using a web browser they already have instead of installing yet another app.
