I would add what "Ramen Meter" is meant to signify in the webpage. Looks nice!

Thanks!

Like this one: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/americans-no-fly-list-fea... ? I personally lived in China for quiet a long time, I learned about the social credit system when I moved to the US, in the news. But I know that goes against what the establishment, and we should just hate other countries, no matter what, because everything here is just dandy. Ironically, I did see many real problems in China, but those don't get picked by CNN.

So do you think that Sundar will go to jail? please

What would they do with the people who has the Advanced Data Protection for iCloud on?

The New York Times makes considerably more money from subscription services than from advertising. That's a recent (last ten-fifteen years) pivot.

Journalist != newspaper.

if the journalist works for the newspaper, then the dichotomy falls apart. Journalists that are independent can use platforms like Substack, where their readers would pay them.

I have yet to see a company where the "loyal" employees are paid more than those who leave for a better salary, or are exempt from laid off. I feel like "Company Loyalty" is one of those nonsensical ideas boomers left to the younger generation.

It's a business relationship and should be treated as such by the employees. Employee loyalty is ridiculous because it's clearly only one-way loyalty.

Only if you believe loyalty can only be bought with loyalty.

Companies provide some value for employees that they don't get back from them, and vice versa.

What value besides money? A company paying a employee to be "loyal" is nothing more than a business transaction, and "loyal" really is "please, don't go to another company, we will pay you to stay here". I'm assuming the employee is not also the owner.

I agree. I think what most people seek in a company is the weathering of risk, the establishment of an opportunity, and the reliability of income.

Employers can "demand" loyalty, but as you say, it's basically a request. There's no legal basis for it or anything.

I think it's fine to have a culture of loyalty. It probably means you have a pretty good company. Demanding it doesn't work, and if it's not real loyalty, we don't have to be mad about it being one-sided.

True. Something I learn when I came years ago to the US, is you don't have to be awesome at anything, being normal, working hard and keeping in mind principles like "spend less than what you make" already put you above 90% of people. Most folks are lazy out there in the real world. You don't need to grind super hard.

Those "legit" individuals are so rare, that instead of feeling envy, I just feel curiosity, and the desire to learn from them. But so far, I don't know of anyone. I'm sure there are a few, but I haven't met anyone in person that deserves the "legit" label.

Thunderbird used to be a Native email client, that was awesome. I want an native email client, contacts and calendar. That's it. I dislike the browser tabs inside Thunderbird (I already use Firefox), either make a web version or keep the native version native. Most of the Thunderbird user base, are the ones that preferred the OG version. Not everything have to be a webview. Maybe they don't want users like me anymore. And that is fine. Is just feel sad, I miss the old Thunderbird.

OG thunderbird may have been better but it wasn't technically native. It used XUL instead of HTML but both were rendered by Gecko.
