I mean, many (several?) sites tried optional subscriptions where you pay to get rid of ads, but that doesn’t seem to have worked. Judging by the fact that most sites that have subscriptions instead of ads use pay walls.

People have come to expect free access, so if you can easily use an ad blocker, why would you choose to pay to remove the ads that a blocker removes for free.

Is it 100% optional? Are there no dietary conditions that require eating meat? Even if it is optional, I only said that expecting everyone to change is unrealistic, not that it’s impossible.

How much do you expect people to sacrifice? If you give up eating meat can you fly to go on vacation? Or are people expected to give up everything in the name of the climate while billionaires jet around and corporations expell endless emissions?

Also, your comparison to mercenaries is bad. If military operations are required for survival (like eating) then why would the nation feel guilty? If the mercenaries say “yes we will only defend that military base and we will not kill everyone in the nearby school” and then they go and kill everyone in the school, why wouldn’t they be blamed for not following their orders?

Sure, but to get to a plant-based diet that meets the dietary and taste needs to replace a meat-based diet, takes an initial investment of time that some people may not be able to spare.

I’m not saying a matching diet will be more expensive, but the cost (mainly time) of changing diets is an investment some may be unable to afford. If there was a lot of social support for the working poor to change diets, sure, but to say changing diets is something that won’t take more time because the buying of produce and active cooking takes the same time is misleading.

If only there was some kind of carbon tax that took from the profits of polluting companies!

People could just stop what? Eating?

Buying meat? Is becoming vegetarian not more expensive in terms of time and money for someone who has a meat diet? Many people do not have the money or luxury to make such a change?

Expecting everyone to become vegetarian is unrealistic. If you’re buying meat and all companies you can choose to buy meat from are making the same carbon neutral “commitments”, it’s not like you can choose the company that will actually follow through.

But anyway, blaming people for the depravity of companies is also not going to fix anything.

Oh yeah I’d prefer metric, but I was just being consistent with the thread, as the actual units are somewhat beside my point.

Now to find why I didn’t get a notification for this reply…

Can we blame them?

A few years ago everybody was kind of jumping on the net zero bandwagon without actually thinking through what it actually meant

Yes.

Cubic feet would be better, especially as taller vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians.

Calling something magic because you’re using that to mean “something made with science beyond my understanding” is definitely different from using it as “this is literally magic made by sorcerers”.

One is a joke, the other is evidence of the failure of the educational system.

And companies that need to print more frequently probably already have some kind of subscription, because there are already printing companies that fill that niche.

Sounds like the battery itself will have a QR code, so I imagine manufacturers of interchangeable packs will have to print the QR code on the battery pack itself.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate, though I’m not convinced by the UI images. I’ll have to test the touch support myself, but I’ll check it out.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate! I’ll have to figure out how to get the package file myself, thanks!

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate instead of whatever gets you the most karma (“use thunderbird/Linux!”).

Huh? Okay, well I don’t want either of those. I want a light touch first mail app. If it is like any version of Outlook for PC, I’m not interested as it doesn’t meet what I originally asked for.

No, I mean like windows mail app for windows. A large screen app that can easily used with only touch. Like I said in my first comment.

Failing to read my comments and just answering the questions you want to answer is not helpful.

But better for touch and simpler than windows mail?

I am only using Outlook for work email.

Isn’t that more of a replacement for Outlook? It doesn’t look designed around touch like the windows mail app.

I’m waiting for Microsoft to bring back the option to move the taskbar to the side of the screen before upgrading to windows 11 from 10.

I may switch to Linux if IT forces the update and I can’t stop it.

No shit. There’s a reason they are killing the nice and simple Windows Mail app; it allows you to sync with your email without Microsoft servers between.

Also, the biggest issue for me is the UX. I use outlook for my work email and like to separate my work and personal life, so soon I just won’t have an app for my personal email on my PC.

If anyone knows of a similar windows mail app with good touch support and without such a traditional mouse designed UI, please share it.
