  • Can’t you curate your notifications? I mostly use my watch(Samsung) for health and sleep tracking, silent alarms, timers, some audio controls (though usually the headphones touch controls are enough) and important notifications like teams/calls while at work. I let it show me work email too, so a quick glance can tell me if I care, but I can definitely select which notifications but the watch and have a bunch blocked.






  • I found an open source replacement for Lightroom that finally worked (others I tried crashed loading my raws). While testing it, my subscription renewed (I can take criticism that I should have known and cancelled before renewal, but…) I then tried cancelling right after, but Adobe only gives a grace period on first purchase, not renewals. If subscription automatically charges, that money is gone.




  • Honestly most do not. Plenty of parking lots I go to (mostly supermarkets) don’t have these and people park fine, 90% of the time. People do take advantage and drive across when leaving and entering sometimes, but usually that isn’t an issue either

    On the other hand,I still remember trying to go to the movies with friends in a busy shopping plaza and some asshole with huge tires on his truck parked in a way that took up 4 whole parking spaces. I wanted to key up the truck. I wanted super powers that would let me move it to the lake, upside-down. That was like 12-15 years ago and it still makes me irrationally angry a bit.

    I doubt these would have stopped that particular truck, but like many seemingly dumb rules, they aren’t for the majority. They’re for the occasional asshole who refuses to abide by the social construct. America certainly panders to those with the whole focus on individualism, but it hardly has a monopoly.
