I also like the general idea of the quote and I'm against calling someone's way if life "less", but I think the value to be had is from the realization and everyone should have that realization.

That is much closer to the digital reality, thanks for expanding on the idea like this.

I also have a cleaner coming to clean, but I am always home. I would say no to my own question, if other people would say yes, then we can discuss how it's "different" with tech giants.

This is a valid argument, which leads me to the thought that the laws need to be updated. I personally wouldn't be okay with my own premise. I have a person coming over to clean, but I am always home and I can check if I am worried about something.

What are you referring to by "Spotify situation"? I'm out of the loop. Could it be the data breaches mentioned here?

Just change the hypothetical into: "Would you give me your home address and keys so I can drop off a newspaper on your coffee table each morning?" Yes, it's a bit long, but it takes into account your concern of giving data and not receiving anything in return. And Facebook/Insta/Social media in general is very similar to having a newspaper available at your coffee table each day.

In my view uBlock Origin is the gold standard in ad blockers.

I've been using YouTube Vanced on my Android. I tried NewPipe, but was not impressed with it. Then I went to Vanced not because of the ads, but the looping functionality (which is disabled now for some time) and it's been a great experience so far.

Ah, serves me right for not seeing it myself and assuming it was just the background. Thanks for the additional info.

That's a "feature" of SVGs. The image is an SVG and since they are transparent it goes dark when switching.

It is relevant to the discussion. I agree the tone and content could be a bit different, but then so can yours.

I would like to reply to just the first sentence of your post. While I agree that just being leisurely and seeking enjoyment rarely leads to long lasting meaningful experiences, I do not believe we humans are striving to replace all work with those activities. There are many examples of people who have the possibility to do nothing but enjoy themselves and they still push their capabilities and try to find new challenges. Leisure is nice, but only leisure gets boring.

Maybe we can even make it display the time? The possibilities would be endless

Do you have any links on the past failures? I of course heard some of the attempts, but not the failures.
