It’s a trap!

Adobe products were not written to take full advantage of high thread counts not GPU bound tasks. This is why their products run much better on Intel chips because they have higher single core speeds.

Would this only be a problem if they vest in non-uniform quantities? At the company (Shopify) I work for they vest in even amounts over 4 years but you have to wait 1 year to get 1/4 of them then every quarter after that.

An app store, watch face store, dictation, weather. those features are the reason it requires a server. That's what you give up by not using rebble or similar services.

You can sideload Pebble apps AFAIR. I vaguely recall doing that recently to restore the watchface on my wife's Pebble after migrating it to a new phone.

You can. It's nice to have a working app store though!

Also, any third party apps that create timeline pins unfortunately need to go through a server.

Program modes have even been available on Film cameras going back to the late 80s and early 90s.

I'll stick to my film cameras for a bit longer.

Have fun at the ATM taking cash out to buy film.

Can't trust ATM machines. I make my own film.

How do you buy the film chemicals? Online?

Interesting that you can make your own film. How well does homemade film work?

I'm sorry. I wasn't being serious.

I do shoot film exclusively though. At the lab I buy my film and get it developed, they do sell homemade film. I've seen some fantastic results from the B&W film community members make.

I'm also in the middle of building a dark room in my basement.

FYI I use either Android pay or debit to buy my film

My uncle just started a small bee colony on his property. This will help his garden, the surrounding gardens, and the area as a whole. My work also has a few hives on each of our buildings rooftops.

So some people care but a larger majority do not. As humans we, especially in the west, don't care about a problem until it's too late. who cares about the bees when we have the latest iPhone Xr+ Max ultra

We have a few hives and honestly it's just fun watching those guys work. Every single bee has a very small role, but in unison the operation that these dudes run is absolutely amazing. And spotting the queen is fun every time.

It's also amazing how different "races" of bees act completely different. We have a few hives with very calm bees, they never sting - I can operate on these hives with no protection. We also have hives with very aggressive bees who start stinging on even the slightest disturbance. They also differ in the way they collect nectar - the calm bees are a bit lazier and take their time, building up their honeycombs over time, whereas the aggressive ones send out a massive fleet of bees to collect absolutely everything there is out there early in spring. The aggressive ones also like to attack the calmer ones and steal their honey. Assholes.

Worse, some people wear their lack of caring as a badge of pride. See 'rolling coal'.

Apathy is the greatest evil.

One most people don't care about.

Active malice is worse.

My point is that it isn't. Apathy allows malice to exist unchecked. Apathy is the enabler.

I've had urges to start one, but we only have a normal-sized back yard and two dogs, and I don't think that would mix too well. I already know one of them will try to eat bees when given the chance and I don't want them to get stung.

Is there a way to help without actually starting your own bee colony?

If you live in a place that already has a good number of bees around: have pollinating plants, trees, bushes in your yard, possibly a (small) stream of water; know how to spot a swarm and have a bee-friend that you can call to collect the swarms.

Depending on where you live, seeding your lawn with white clover is a low-cost and low-maintenance way to provide food for local bees.

grow plants pollinators like

Leave the dandelions in the lawn for the pollinators. They attract tons of bees, bumblebees and butterflies.

I guess I did good by getting sick for a month right when spring was starting and between that and the rain I didn't bother mowing for awhile and the dandelions took over the front lawn :)

they are also very tasty (you can eat many parts of them), and they will grow again if you leave the root in the ground :)

Bonus: Dandelion wine

Grow locally native pollinator plants if you can, or any flowering plant.

Lots of people care. It is only that big multinationals like Bayer also care: They want to fill the world with pesticides, because it is in their own economic interest.

Those multinationals have concentration of power and influence. The power of the people is way bigger, but it is distributed.

In Europe neonicotinoids were restricted or forbidden. It is a never ending fight.

The war will never end until we manage to create food cheap enough without insects competing for it. This will be hydroponics, electrically creating ATP Adenosine triphosphate or whatever, but until that time comes they will try to exterminate bugs. The already have in a big way.

Please stop generalizing humans and the west like that, you know that's not true because you yourself are aware of it and can be a counter-example.

Simply insert the words 'the majority of' and you're good to go.

It's one thing to get annoyed by waste and consumerism, but "actively maintaining a beehive" seems like a high bar for caring.

“Get annoyed by waste and consumerism” seems like a low bar for caring. The problems will not go away unless the people take mass action.

If I could edit it I would. I do however stand by my statement here because I know first hand how this CEO operates. I worked at his previous startup and he acted the same way. The same culture, fear, hostility, toxicity was all present.

I co-run a SaaS company targeted towards funeral homes. We offer a CMS and white labeled obituaries that don't look like they were built in 1998. The subject matter might be a bit mundane but it's very profitable.
