It's not that simple. If I don't want any of my photos scanned, I would have to avoid every iphone, ipad, and mac with this feature turned on, effectively meaning I can't send a photo to anyone using an apple device.
When Roku took all four of my set-top roku devices hostage a while back with their forced Terms of Service update, I threw them all in the trash and have warned people against using them since.
Roku is a garbage ad company that will continue to use your devices against you.
Some estimates put conventional CD and DVD lifespans at 25 years, however they can last decades longer than that if they are stored away from UV light, and stored in a moderate temp and humidity controlled location. Their lifespan also largely depends on the quality of the manufacturing process from the factory.
Under similar conditions, blu-rays are estimated to last around 100 years, and blu-rays that use non-organic dye layers (such as M-disc) can reportedly last 1000 years or more.
As moisture finds a way between the layers, the disc will degrade. Too much bending or flexing of a disc will encourage separation of the layers.
Isn't weed the same way? I can always smell it on people who smoke it. It might not be quite as 'sticky' as cigarette smoke?, but I can still smell it on people's clothes until they are washed, or in their house or car.
I did for a while but they made it such a pain to use it that way, so I ditched it and went back to Joplin.
For example, Standard notes was working fine, then one day an update broke my self-hosted setup. When I finally fixed it (it took days), I noticed the editors I used no longer worked either. I got tired of fixing and fighting to keep it working.
Joplin's editor sucks (on mac), but at least the app reliably stays working and syncing.
I completely agree with his view on this. The literal 'shattered world' is overdone and not usually the best way to convey a shattering mind.
To extend the topic in a slightly different direction: I am incredibly annoyed at pretty much all 'floating islands' in games where there is a chunk (or chunks) of land floating in front of a backdrop because the dev couldn't be arsed to make the rest of the damn landscape. I call them "floating in space" games. There are tons of games at do this.
If your game has a good narrative reason for floating islands, or is a strategy or puzzle game that's played on a board, that's totally fine, but if there isn't a good reason for the land to be lacking a completed landscape and is just floating there, I will skip over purchasing or playing those games.
I don't disagree with anything you said, but I also won't live in fear of the crazies with guns (police excluded because holy fuck they will murder you and your family, including your dog, without remorse).
If any minority group was being systemically oppressed, I would absolutely love if the shows and games my children were into included messaging of the problem and how every human is inherently equal.
And you may think your wording is hyperbole, but trans people are actually being exterminated in parts of the world and imprisoned in others, and are actively having their rights and legal identities taken away in the US as well.
People upset about seeing trans messaging are the same people who would say "i don't care about people being gay but stop shoving it down my throat" when they saw one gay couple kiss on tv that month while also seeing 100 straight couples kissing.
But it can cause long-term and permanent damage to certain organs, and that is a pretty big reason to care. Unfortunately that fact doesn't seem to clear the hurdle of point 3 on your list for many people.
I often don't like it when customer service people say this to me if I have been waiting to resolve an issue that is the company's fault, because my waiting is barely a choice; the company screwed up and now I am 'forced' to spend time getting it resolved.
Only apologize or thank me when it's personal and sincere. (The size of the business matters a lot in if the apologies or thanks feel genuine.)
