You only need industrial robots if you produce something. Since a majority of production is outsourced to Asia they have a much higher demand for robots.

I couldn't agree more.

And I can only reiterate, with my initial comment I was not attacking you personally or trying to guilt you into doing something. I also don't like when people do that. In fact, it wasn't even that much about saving water in the shower. It is just this blocking attitude of: I don't do it, others should start first without even thinking about it, that you can often read in these threads which bugged me at first.

By your comments you showed that you actually thought about it and came to the conclusion that the impact is little and there are more important topics you want to address, which is a totally fair point.

That is not the point I was trying to make. As I said, it is not the end of the world just because someone leaves the shower on for a few seconds longer than necessary and there are obviously way more important topics we need to address.

To be honest when I saw the question I haven't thought about climate at all. I turn it off for as long as I can remember and was curious how others are doing it. But everytime something comes up that has to do with saving energy/ressources there are people saying: I don't change because my personal impact doesn't matter. To exaggerate my point one person changing one tiny thing of course doesn't make a difference, but if 8 billion people change 10 tiny things it can have an impact. At some point we have to start making a change.

However, I totally get your point about the industry polluting our planet even though they knew better decades ago. And now everyone has to suffer from their mistakes or rather greed.

I also use an NTFS partion for shared data, even though I haven't booted into Windows for a year or something. To me the best solution is currently to auto-mount the whole NTFS partion to something like /mnt/data using the /etc/fstab file. I additionally use bind mounts to show all the content e.g. of the shared documents folder /mnt/data/documents in a specific folder in my home directory like ~/Documents/shared

Is this some sort of insider I am not aware of? I always see these kind of replies and I never understand them. Why even write anything if you don't have anything meaningful to add to the conversation? This is a genuine question to both of you. I mean, yes, it might be true that everything is fine and dandy if you follow good security practices? But how does that help a beginner? Its like saying driving a car with manual transmission is easy. You just need to know the numbers from 1 to 6 and that a higher number makes the car go faster. Even though this might be technically true, it doesn't help anybody.

If you are just using your phone, FitoTrack or OpenTracks might be the right thing for you. I don't know about the added weight thing though.

Thanks for the tip, I will check it out.

File Explorer

I haven't checked in a while, but I am still using CX File Explorer because I didn't find a FOSS alternative I like. Maybe it is just because I am used to it, but one thing I really like is the network feature that you can access local shares of a NAS.

I am not an excessive note-taking guy, but I am using Notesnook for some time now and it does everything I needed so far.

That's the right answer. I couldn't find a poll that explicitly states it on my quick search, but if I am not mistaken I saw a poll in TV lately that showed an uncertainty of about 2-3%. It just makes no sense to list parties that are below that value.
