Ever notice how the VCs shill for #Zcash but never #Monero?
*TBH, I'm not sure they delivered even those ~20. I think they just took the $100. 😆
Is it worth paying for X Premium?
In short: no.
Here's my experience so far trying to share an announcement a bit wider than my usual reach:
- Posts to my profile get the same amount of views as before.
- So I thought, OK, what if I clicked the "Promote" button? X promises 26k impressions for $100. They delivered about ~20 and hid the post.
All in all, a complete scam and I honestly can't believe how bad it is. 😂

It sounds like Work Profiles and Private spaces are quite similar, and that soon you'll be able to hide/get rid of Work Profiles and just make the distinction be between User Profiles and Private Spaces.
It sounds like the difference between the two is that they provide similar isolation features, but User Profiles are more isolated and don't have the ability to share the clipboard whereas Private Spaces do (?) and do not require switching users.
Is that about right?

I checked the forums but not much is there: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/17029-user-profiles-vs-work-profiles-vs-private-spaces
Should people use User Profiles only and ignore the Work Profile feature? (If so, can you get rid of work profiles altogether...?)
Imagine the following scenario:
Trade with China completely stops.
After a few years, all of your China-made home appliances break, and there's nothing to replace them.
#PlannedObsolescence is not just bad for the environment, it's a national security risk.
TIL: The word "donate" doesn't really exist in Russian because private property wasn't a thing in the USSR (everything belonged to the state).
The closest thing they had was "пожертвовать" ("to sacrifice"!)
Today, Russians use "donateech" (Донатить) - a loan word from English.
