Irrelevant. I'm sure the reply was about "you can't see the lack of something" which, by the example the other user posted, not entirely true.
I think most people would understand something like living "side by side with cars".
Even if not alive, you can live very close and shape your life by and with technology.
I don't take any issue with the OP's formulation.
A GoPro fits all of those requirements and has easily replaceable batteries. Now, I understand that the shape and sizes are different. But I wouldn't mind some extra mm of thickness (I already get a pretty big camera bump anyway) if that means I can replace a battery faster.
I love Orion on iOS especially because the ability to use desktop extensions in it (some may not work)

Hi,I have a bachelors degree in a non-science related field so I have never conducted a research study myself. I find it very difficult to understand if the study I am reading is well thought out, with good practices or just comes from shady interests or publications.How can I be better informed to distinguish between good and valid studies from the others?How do I know if a study has been peer...
> If you are concerned about that, don’t use iOS.
The advantage of Android is that you can get the apk from a trusted source or build it yourself, right?
Precisely. My concern was raised thinking about contact tracing apps. I'll have a look at the link you shared, thank you!

Let's say for example Bitwarden: How do I know, the app I am installing from the App Store, is running the code that is Open Source and not something else?
Also, if you try to follow any type of discussion in the comments its surprisingly difficult. Hard to find the parents of a comment, hard to scroll up to the original comments. And to be honest... I think this is for the best of the platform.
Or shift+space if you want to take steps until the top (maybe you just want to navigate up faster, and not to the top)
I fully agree with you. Although office interactions play a big part in socialization, I think most of the uneasiness I feel right now is due to the fact that I can't even socialize outside of work, or with non-coworkers. Not caused by remote work per se.

Care to share what you product is?
I like your rule based approach. I think I'll try it for myself.
My main "problem" with organization methods, is that I feel they get in the way of my creation process.
If i'm creating a PPT and I need an icon pack I don't want to think to where should I donwload it, if the project as a folder, where to export it or whatever... Just give me the icons, right now Im creating a presentation, I could care less about how my files are structured.
The final presentation will end up on google drive, or somwhere else "safe".
Your approach allows me to do this, and keep everything organized at the same time.
> It's like "saving things" on my physical desk - a bad habit I tell myself not to do, but still find myself doing. (chucks a few things that have been on my desk).
But on a physical desk I don't have options to sort, search etc. I do on the mac. I use the desktop as place for non-critical files everytime (like a screenshot that I have to attach to an email, or to export a image without background that I am going to use on a ppt). Basically just as a temp folder.
It is absolutly cluttered, but the ability to drop a temporary file there without thinking of structure or what it relates to trumps the clutter it creates.
Besides, with the addition of Stacks (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT209101) it makes everything more manageable.
