Not that odd with wider displays. IMO anything > 16:9 aspect ratio should consider task bars on the side. It's a more efficient use of space. I don't want a vast empty wasteland at the bottom of my display eating up real estate when I do 99% of my work with only 5-6 open applications.

Crypto is not primarily a currency. It's a distributed transaction processing system. A coin from crypto is just a reward for participating in processing transactions. A coin by itself has no intrinsic value. A coin's value only comes from perceived value of a functioning zero trust decentralized transaction processing system. When government officials talk about crypto exclusively as if it's a currency I question their grasp on crypto concepts or their agenda. Most likely they do know exactly what they are doing and just want to seed bad sentiment.

So the less anxious you are about shit you do not understand the less you want to exert influence and control over it?

Appears to be decision of an individual who's anxious about future viability of their business. Spiking content under geopolitical pressure in hopes of better foreign sentiment is not an effective long term growth strategy. Sure this doesn't help with content creators' trust in Netflix.
