If you want encryption, they also support GPG encryption of incoming emails. As a bonus over Proton, you’ll be in full control of the key.

Take note EU.

What do you think unblocked the EU trade deals with Mercosur and India? Suddenly almost all the grievances became small inconveniences in comparison.

There’s no way to compel them to sell them.

On paper no.

In practice, when you consider how much economy at that level is driven by quid pro quo, that statement sounds almost silly. It’s not a matter of whether governments can trigger a mass disinvestment, it’s a matter of the cost.

Me too, but there’s a chicken egg problem of the studios not putting games there because it doesn’t have a big market share, and gamers not using it because it doesn’t have all the games.

There are way too many people lining up to fellate Gabe for this to be accurate.

People might get pissed off when DRM is buggy enough for them to notice, but most gamers don’t realise that they don’t actually own a single game in their Steam library.

Gecko is kind of PITA to integrate on anything, unless you are just writing a glorified Firefox skin. That’s why Apple forked khtml to make webkit, despite khtml being less compatible with websites back then. It doesn’t help most Firefox forks come into almost-unusable-paranoia-driven flavour (like Librewolf) and maintainers-are-in-way-over-their-heads flavour (like Zen), and they all lack enough maintainers to keep up with upstream.

Servo could be a serious Blink/Webkit competitor, but unfortunately Mozilla dropped the ball there, and Samsung is still not taking it seriously enough.

There’s nothing more logical than to finance the army that will invade you /s.

Then good news for you, if you are in Canada, global demand is about to go down a bit, and the prices will go down for us non-Americans in a couple of months. More PC gaming for us (🎉 I guess)

That sounds like an amazing way for a secret police to set up a trap.

Jokes aside, most of the accusers had been accused before themselves, and were taking a plea deal to stop the torture.

Which is part of the reason civilized countries consider that plea deals and torture are not conductive to justice.

Which Spock? A big part of Spock’s character development post TOS was starting to be more himself and less what others expected him to be.

But they still expect them to be literate enough to fill out the paperwork, the ICE apparently has no bottom.

For the last decades they are a second party developer at best. And Nintendo owns 1/3 of the Pokémon Company. And another third is owned by Creatures which is independent from Nintendo only on paper.

I would be very careful with this kind of advice for people leaving in a dictatorship. What happens when the police catches people with apps that circumvent government policies?

Besides, the general advice is that protestors should not take smartphone to protests, and in the specific case of countries like Iran, I would advise against using anything that leaves any paper trail, physical or digital, when doing any communication against the regime

The only advantage bitchat has is that, being supported by an American oligarch, it might already have a better network. But somehow I doubt it really makes a difference at this stage.

This and the recent Wine patches to support Photoshop’s installer might open the door to Linux becoming viable for graphic designers.

Really good news on that front this week.

Is there anyone invited to board who isn’t a raging warmongering psychopath?

It might even be inevitable. Even humans display “domestication syndrome” in comparison with our closest primate relatives, and bonobos also seem to have changed in analogous ways when they became more sociable.

In Uruguay, they have a dialect of Portuguese that is often called portunhol, but is distinct of what most Portuguese and Spanish speakers would call portuñol/portunhol, because it’s a stable dialect. And Ciudad del Este might be a similar case.

Some might argue those varieties are creoles

I’m not a linguist, but I think surzhyky and portuñol are usually just considered code-mixing or code-switching, for the reasons you listed.
