Wtf is the point of that? Its the same plane, isn't leaving any time sooner if I board earlier.

Its not like a cruise ship where boarding an hour earlier means I can jump in pool while others are still getting on board.

Sure and some of those are coo. But if you can't even get people moving to firefox, good luck with the more obscure ones.

Forks are also fine. But the phrasing often can come across in a way that supports chrome

Yeah but if you need to use a browser are you seriously going to support Google over Mozilla?

There might not be a long run if google can dictate web development enough in the short term to essentially kill off all competition.

Fair point but are you seriously saying you prefer the direction Google is heading?

Not saying it doesn’t exist. But its easy to go through live without ever giving a shit about it. Been working for me so far even when deeply below poverty wages. Now I am between UK minimum and median wage so shits easy.

Interesting, not rented in Scotland but in England I just had to sign on some toilet paper and hand over a deposit in cash.

Well more competition is good and we really need more alternative platforms. Can they make a browser as an alternative to chrome.. Or push Firefox?

Europe exists with neither of these problems. You can get a credit card if you want but loads of people don't. From a low effort search it actually looks like most people in almost all European countries don't have one. Few exceptions like Norway but even there you have a very significant minority without one.

UK here and I bought a house without ever having a credit card or worrying or knowing what a credit rating is.

Worked in a computer shop before, seen some warranties like first year take to the place you bought it, 2-5 years contact manufacturer. That being the manufacturers stance on the warranty, we would still look it up and help/advise customers if possible. Like if they needed proof of purchase we would print off a receipt for them even 4 years later.
