Chrome's handling is barely more secure. A compromised device will have a much easier time reading Chrome's encrypted store than scanning your RAM to find passwords.

Remember that if you don't need to input a password to open the store, then anything with access to your device can also read it.

Wether it's encrypted in your RAM or not barely makes any difference in how difficult the task is.

The only solution is: Browsers should require a password. Or even better: Use a dedicated, properly secured password manager.

A gamer does not need to switch from the mouse to the keyboard repeatedly. Plus, a gamer cares about precision, which obviously a trackpad lacks.

"Faster" standalone means nothing. Can you move the pointer faster with a mouse? Of course. But I don't see most people flicking on their workstation.

In the context of this thread, "faster" refers to completing your tasks faster. And for that a trackpad beats a mouse if your job requires you to type a lot.

I can't work on a big screen. I'm thriving on my laptop with my 3x3 virtual desktop grid, though.

Are they really more fucked than generations who didn't have access to social media, internet, and video games? It seems to me that you are biased by the negative effects these had, and ignoring the positive ones.

Saying that they haven’t been fucked is reminiscent of my grandparents saying ADHD and Anxiety aren’t real.

How is that in any way comparable? I'm not saying the downsides of social media, internet, video games are not real, I'm saying "People growing up with X will be fucked" is a saying that every generation has been saying, ignoring the positive impacts. This is a cognitive bias in the likes of the rosy retrospection.

Why is transpilation unappealing to you?

Can it be considered living if it has no desire?

I'll add "how expensive" to the list. Sometimes you'll have to burn through devices.

That "help" only happened because Germany started a world war

Most countries don't just interfere with other countries' politics... although I know that's a hard concept to grasp for the USA haha

Ah, I didn't get the sarcasm at first! Because it is on its own microplate that makes it challenging to build a bridge. I thought you might mean that with an... interesting understanding of it.
