Rolexes fail at being watches compared to other products that cost $5. A “bomb-proof piece of jewelry” is not a convincing argument. The whole point is showing that you have money.

A friend of mine has a few Rolex. Those watches are way less precise than a $5 quartz watch, it’s all about showing that you have money. The quality of the materials gives no advantage. They are objectively ugly too with the big round circles, and look like watches for kids who learn how read the time.

I’ve been told by rich guys that you must wear the strap a bit loose so that it the watch will rotate a bit around your wrist, which forces you to “put it back” while showing to others that you have a Rolex.

I don’t think there is a more pathetic display of money. Rolex were on the top of my list with their expensive ugly watches.

Same answer as that other guy. I tried Pop OS for a few months, and while the automatic tiling is tempting, it’s really buggy even with the new version. Linux Mint is the easiest IMHO and looks a bit like Windows 2000. I love it so far.

You could also ask users to type the words fuck or shit in the description somewhere. LLMs cannot do that AFAIK.

I agree that they are a PITA when it comes to creating an account. Once it is setup and paid, you can enable your VPN again though.

Did you meant ~/Music/Opus?

I buy a lot from Bandcamp. https://subvert.fm/ is supposedly an alternative but it’s not open yet and I’m not sure it is EU-only.

Is my data private when using the AI chat feature?

What a mess when it’s supposed to be a simple scanner application.

It already happened when the French government gave private health data to Microsoft. The same government is now furiously backpedaling. I’m sure they still got their bribes.
