<p>Completely agree. To me, HDR feels like the system is ignoring my screen brightness settings.<p>I set my screen brightness to a certain level for a <i>reason</i>. Please don’t just arbitrarily turn up the brightness!<p>There is no good way to disable HDR on photos for iPhone, either. Sure, you can turn off the HDR on photos on your iphone. But then, when you cast to a different display, the TV tries to display the photos in HDR, and it won’t look half as good.</p>

<p>Another vote for YNAB. It is expensive, but for me it pays for itself in a month.<p>It can be as open-ended or as detailed as you like. And the tutorials / videos are worth watching, as well.</p>

<p>This comparison doesn't seem up to snuff.<p>The government has the ability to prosecute crimes, and has a monopoly and the use of force. Private companies have neither.<p>One of the two is clearly more dangerous if they have the ability to control your speech.</p>

<p>ZCash is insecure by default. It is a honeypot for people who wish to use the default privacy settings of Monero.<p>> On June 8, 2020, Chainalysis added support for Zcash to their Chainalysis Reactor and "Know Your Transaction" (KYT) technologies.[22] This permits Chainalysis to trace and provide transaction values and at least the sender or receiver address for over 99% of Zcash activity.[22] Chainalysis explains that it is able to accomplish this since most Zcash users do not use privacy-enhancing features.<p>- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zcash" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zcash</a></p>

<p>I found this the other day as well. It actually only applies for certain browsers. I think they are doing the redirect via user-agent.<p>Orion Browser (by Kagi) can still access i.reddit.com.<p>This is the only way I will use mobile reddit.

<p>Thanks for reading and for sharing your experience. Much appreciated.<p>I'm not trying to spread propaganda. I'm doing my best to make sense of the different narratives being told by different parties. It's all we can do in these crazy times.<p>You have many good points. This article was not comprehensive and could have dug deeper into many reasons. I'll respond to one bit:<p>>To say that pro-western and anti-Russia attitude in Ukraine was fabricated by the West is a bit of a stretch, to say the least.<p>I never used the word 'fabricated', and I don't think I said anything that robust. I said "funded", which is different. Ukraine is a large country, and there are plenty of different political opinions and movements to pick from when supplying funding.</p>

<p>That is true - it takes two to tango.<p>That said, far too much of the present discourse leaves out that in many different situations, the US has added fuel to the fire in Ukraine, instead of taking opportunities to lessen the chance of violent conflict.</p>

<p>> most likely it will bring them all closer together.<p>You are right, in that this will most likely be the short-term action. NATO / EU will be more tightly bound to the US out of necessity. But necessity does not engender gratitude and goodwill - usually it precipitates resentment and struggle. That is why in the long term, I predict poor relations between NATO / EU.<p>Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading. Would love to hear specifics on which facts were false / one-sided propaganda.<p>My conclusions may or may not end up being true, but hopefully we share the same premises of the conflict.</p>

<p>> Further, wage growth not matching production efficiencies or even decelerating is not a monetary policy issue (or anything to do with inflation) but a social policy issue. Specifically, minimum wage not tracking inflation, and in my opinion, a broad-based rejection of unions.<p>It can be both a monetary policy issue <i>and</i> a social policy issue.<p>Entities that are close to the money-creation spigot that is the Fed have a decreasing cost of money and debt. Anyone / thing further from the cheap supply of money have seen less benefit. The people working for minimum wage are very far from the cheap supply of money.<p>Social policy, as you point out, has not kept up with monetary policy. But the problem is initiated from monetary policy.</p>

<p>An AWS outage doesn't directly cause death. Those aren't comparable at all.<p>A better comparison would be a nuclear program that can't keep its nuclear materials under proper security. And we can all agree those programs should be avoided.</p>
