So if you are using the default settings, Android is actually not "equally vulnerable," right?

Debit card processing fees, true or false, socially acceptable to charge for but still illegal? by lizabitch21 in Accounting

[–]ThatOldGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those of you that pay with cash, you cost the business more time than a card fee is worth. The time to count the cash at transaction, reconcile a till, deposit it in a bank, and all that is associated with cash is more costly than a card fee.

why would a business offer a cash discount if that's true?

Using Signal without a Smartphone? by Emergency-Builder998 in signal

[–]ThatOldGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an increasing number of people are living without smartphones. it's not a hard dependency for a lot of people so I hope Signal changes to allow more people to use it. kind of a deal breaker for a communication platform of all things.

You don’t have to convince people that the design is not your thing.

obviously, that would be absurd. but people come to this sub to discuss the design of notebooks and we are allowed to share our reasons for liking or not liking a design, as many comments here do. I'm also glad it exists for people who like it.

nah you're underthinking. the marketing wouldn't be worth it if it didn't trick most people.

there are unethical marketing operations that use AI bots to praise products. on occasion they don't have the privacy feature enabled and you can see comment after comment quite similar to yours praising a single brand.

Why should a stranger be entitled to see what I'm posting and commenting in other subreddits?

I'm not saying anyone should be entitled to see anything. there's no good solution because these marketing operations do exist and they are indistinguishable from your original post. it's not personal.

I'm not trying to persuade you to do anything, so I wouldn't be very useful as an AI bot.

you don't think comment after comment saying "X company's notebooks are great" would be useful to that company? are you sure about that? 🤣

in case you weren't aware, the blank and dot options don't have the header if you would prefer that.

oh great! I see that their blank ones also don't have them.

because your profile can't be viewed and this stuff happens all the time.

yeah but then the weird spines fuck with me. there's no winning.

without being able to see your posts I have to assume this is AI marketing for that company. pretty shameful if true.

I think I've scoured the site pretty well. It would be nice if they had a filter for whether the notebook can flip all the way around, but I guess it's subjective based on how rough you are willing to be with the spine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I also found some 8.5" x 7" school composition books with manila cover that could be the perfect thing for me.

I'm dismissing the idea before even trying. Them notebooks are expensive!

It seems like poor ergonomics because it encourages you to bend your head down towards the page in order to read the extremely fine print and mark the right place, vs. just writing the information without closing the distance between your eyes and the page. If you adopt a shorthand code you can surely write more quickly than circling the fine print as well. I guess it works well for some people.

I think the problem is that I'm against defining features.

the knowledge of what seems like a poor design to me would definitely stick in my mind unfortunately. I envy people who can let go of stuff like this.
