Don't put all your eggs in one basket again, that's what makes degoogling such a difficult thing. There's several proton services I intentionally avoid and use alternatives for so I don't have to uproot my entire digital life to leave them if they start being shitty. If you go from using all google services to all proton you're setting yourself up to need the same sort of big migration down the road. 15 years ago google was also an awesome company that kept making incredibly useful things for users just because they could and look at them now.

The top picture looks so anachronistic. He looks like he's wearing a hoodie under a pea coat.

Yeah and if it were some mundane claim it would probably get away with it. But its always something outlandish like say being able to perform fully automated blood tests with a single drop of blood.

While that's definitely what happened often the legal definition of "rape" in a state explicitly requires penetration with a penis. So a lot of things that a normal person would consider rape are classed as sexual assault and have to be reported as such in the media. You can see this in the recent E. Jean Carroll suit against trump. https://www.theguardian.com/...

Yeah if this is real then to my reading this is some high effort, high quality banter. They had to carve this into a piece of wood, find this guys house, and then drive it over. That's the sort of prank that's done amongst friends thats fondly reminisced about for literally decades. They basically hand delivered this guy a personalized invitation to come hang out more.

Neither. I just forget things, like a cool person

They do. Its much more than a built in vpn, they also have specialized, hardened versions of communications apps on them. The weakest link in cybersecurity is usually the end user.

Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something?

Yeah i do. After the new movies, several tv shows, and the galaxys edge theme parks they have a decade plus of star wars specific production infrastructure to draw on. They're not starting from scratch on this show.

At least 50% of NY's population lives within 50 miles of NYC and I wouldn't be surprised to find out its closer to 65% or 70%. Of course it gets the most attention. I get why people living outside that area would be upset but they cant be surprised.

You see the same thing in every state with a large metro area. There's always griping from western and central MA but the fact is 75% of the population lives in the Boston metro area.

Its not competing against cable or fiber, its competing against satellite internet and DSL. My family has a place in rural Maine and we used to have Hughesnet satellite internet and starlink is half the price and like 50x the speed.

Definitely doable with zsh plugins. There are some options for bash like this but ive never used them

Does that matter prop wise? I'd say I have above average knowledge of star wars lore and I have absolutely no idea how to visually tell the difference between say the old republic era and the most recent trilogy. The only thing I can think of that reliably identifies a time period in star wars in terms of visual design is storm trooper helmets.

I wish you'd shared this anecdote sooner. Think of all the money that could have been saved on water treatment if people had only known that one time you drank from a semi questionable water source and didn't get sick.

I used to work at a mobile app test automation company and there is an alternative answer: apple is the fucking worst. They used to frequently make additional changes that are not in the beta just before release and other companies have no warning until its live. I remember when ios8 released in between the final beta and general release they ripped out the entire api our platform used to interface with phones. We had to rewrite iOS support from scratch in like a month post release. It was a disaster.

A semester of programming is more than you need. The hardest part would be installing the OS on the raspberry pi. https://pi-hole.net/

Well, yeah its just crazy how modern the outfit looks. If you passed a guy on the street wearing this exact thing you wouldn't even look twice
