Some people might have said the same about cancer too

Edit: Forget cancer.

Viruses are one of the most common causes of heart inflammation. When an infection leads to myocarditis, health experts refer to it as infective myocarditis. Myocarditis can occur if the virus infects heart tissue. This can trigger an immune system reaction that may result in inflammation of heart muscle tissue

Huh. Turns out heart failure can be contagious.

Isn't that pretty much the reason any of us would want to become immortal? We want more time to experience the things life has to offer

The fact that you're comparing bicycle repair shops to an entire country economy tells me pretty much all I need to know. Even in corporations, the unexpected successes tend to be the most surprising and profitable ones. Guess what? None of them are ever planned for, and none of them would have existed in a planned economy.

Gonna keep an eye on this post for recs. Does anybody know if there's a working RemindMe bot yet?

Cynicism aside, civilisation as it is today requires extremely specialised knowledge. Losing 95% or more of our population would put an end to our capability to support any kind of advanced infrastructure. It'd be akin to the decline of Rome, from the biggest city in the world to having farmers farming in the former city area and mining the old buildings for building material. Humanity would be back to scavenging and farming as core activities within a generation.

Fair. Less the extinction of humanity and more the end of any trace of civilisation

Tech is still producing lots of useful stuff. AI for example can actually be very useful. It's just not as generalist as the marketers would have us believe. For specific targeted tasks, it can be amazing.

Has anybody ever proclaimed France a bastion of progressiveness?

Thanks! That's an interesting perspective. Are you using the standard Web ui, or one of the alternatives?

Thanks! I tried it, couldn't get rid of enough whitespace for my taste. I'm a bit picky with layouts I suppose

Perhaps you could set up an OCR bot to handle it?

No, I've bought the app as a one time payment a few times, starting back with reddit.

No need to be mean to people that still like sync.

I'm not here to bash Sync or anything. If LJ were to show up now with an update to fix broken stuff I'd happily continue using it. I'm just not looking for somebody trying to proselytise sync to me. I'm here with a specific question, and he's making completely unrelated and unhelpful comments. Sync works for him? Great. What does that have to do with me wanting a new app that suits my needs? Not to mention he flat out bullshited in his first comment, about frequent updates.

Humanity is already seeing the global birth rate drop to replacement rate, we're expected to hit it within the century and keep dropping. Relatively brief dip? More likely our extinction even if it was only a single generation

A 100% planned economy has never worked, ever. And concentrating all that power in one place? Yeah that'll end well.

Is it just me, or does his head seem like it's popping out of the picture?

Sync dev has been MIA for 8 months. This was the final straw for me to switch apps.

Good for you. Do you actually have anything to contribute to this discussion?

Oh hey, thanks! Gave the settings a quick tweak, and it seems to be almost exactly what I'm looking for

Eternity has probably come closest to what I'm looking for, yeah. It has a tendency to leave way too much empty space in between stuff and I can't get the title to display at the top of the cards.
