That would be wrong in every technical sense. You're saying that .first() would skip the 0th item.
First = leftmost.

Meeting new roommates for college and I suggested Signal and this was someone's response. I hate Gen Z.

I've grown up enough to understand that, but it still really bothers me how ignorant people are. You could go further: no curiosity, no adventure, no hobbies, and total lack of effort in almost every facet of life.
People just like to stagnate, and it shows in almost every situation. Not even technology related things, but everything.
My teenage little brother, as much as I love him, is kind of disappointing. He doesn't do anything but play Roblox. When he is grounded (often) he elects to take pictures of his feet and say stupid things to his "friends" instead of holding real conversations.
I've never been able to get him interested in anything that requires a modicum of effort, except for modded Minecraft. He likes the machines, and has built cool things, so I know he has the smarts, but he doesn't have the attention span or the patience to troubleshoot them if they don't work the first time. He gives up and starts doom scrolling social media. He has expensive shoes, the latest iPhone, and perms his hair. My mother encouraged this vapid pretty boy personality he's adopted, and I don't know why, he wasn't like that when he was younger.
He tries to make fun of me for having and Android phone and using Linux, and I explain to him that software development is what I do for a living and as a hobby. Look, I never ever ever see an ad, anywhere. He thinks AirPods sound good, and calls all earbuds "AirPods".
And he's not the only one, I'm tutoring a kid around his age for programming and math. This kid will answer "I don't know" to every single question, and when I check every 5 minutes to make sure he follows, he is obviously preoccupied.
When I was their age, I hated school just as much as any other kid (and I still think it needs serious reform because it might cause this kind of damage that I'm describing) but I still spent all of my free time either outside trying to make explosives, reading, or programming.
I do not understand the lazy I see all around me.

In my experience, windows always gets something wrong with drivers and I have to go do some stupid shit to fix it. And then later fight windows update as it tries to override my fix. Windows problems are rarely immediately apparent, whereas Linux problems usually are.

No, they have serial numbers that are read by the printer when you try to use them. Air Gap the printer.

OP is a superior life form and the masses must obey because of the technological superiority and the nuanced knowledge base that OP operates with. Trust bro, lemmy is better.

I like the web app more.

I've been using sync as long as I've used reddit. Tried all the apps for Reddit back in the day and Sync was the best. Remember being mad it wasn't FOSS I'm a dev who donates time, and mad respect for others who do too, but also respect to the dev of Sync who is providing a great service. The app is beta and it's already better than most others. It is a familiar experience.
I'm paying, happily.
That's my stance.

European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

This. I don't need braille to know which button, it becomes muscle memory. A touch screen UI changes dynamically, so having muscle memory like for a physical momentary switch is impossible. And the tactile feedback is important too.

I honestly don't see the same conceit you do, and I expected it before reading. I just read the author as a jaded evangelist.

There's another way to think about it which I actually use. Look in the empty bin and say "zero", then move an apple and say "one".

Which way looks more comfortable as you wait for your coffee?
All you car haters, I'd like to see you sitting outside, having a coffee, in Arizona during the summer where it is 56°C during most hours on a daily basis.
