Comment: Why organize them? (Score 1) 171

by nuggz (#42937165) Attached to: I organize my browser bookmarks ...

I just start typing what I want.

Typically if it's bookmarked chrome will autocomplete it as I type.

Same thing on my phone, I just start typing the app/contact name into the google search bar.
Also with google drive, I'm either in "recent" or search, it's faster and easier than navigating a directory structure.

I have a layout/tree, but that's basically habit as opposed to any functional reason.

I don't think transparency is their goal.

Their goal is to push their political adgenda which is basically anti- anything big & powerful.
Transparency is just a cover.

The reality is we need transparency and accountability to control the big powers effectively.
However, realistically they also need some secrets to function effectively.

It isn't black and white like crypto, with a public algorithm and secret key where everyone (with a clue) is in agreement where the line is.

In the real world the division of what should and should not be shared is not as clear.

The problem is that there is no technical difference between the legal robocallers and the illegal robocallers.

What is the technical difference between a charity calling to sell you something and a company calling to sell you something?
Recipients of the call don't see any difference, the phone system sees no difference. The scripts are likely no different.

I had a blackberry before my Galaxy S2.
It did everything I needed just fine, I moved on to get the larger screen and a better web browser, not because of any shortage of apps.

As far as demanding uncompressed images from a cell phone camera, that's laughable. The camera quality, while improving is so bad that there really is little benefit to RAW. If you want RAW, get a real camera.

Some people don't like bookmarks, or they use their browser like "todo" lists.
Not that I advocate such an approach, but I understand it.

For any particular project I might have a handful of links that are open at one time.
I typically don't have 100 tabs open, but 20-40 is pretty typical.

One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they never have to stop and answer the phone.
