I do like Proton, and I needed something like it for a forwarding problem with Gmail.
But it actually lacks one bell/whistle that Gmail offers. Both services work to receive mail for forwarding addresses, but, on Gmail, you can also send from your forwarded addresses. Proton will only send from a domain you own. So if you get mail forwarded from my.name@alumni.myuniversity.edu or treasurer@myclub.org, you won't be able to reply or send from those addresses on Proton. Judging by how long people have been asking for that ability, I doubt Proton intends to ever provide that.
Funny the different experiences we have. I switched from FF to Brave only on mobile because FF mobile doesn't correctly interface to Android clipboard for scrolling screenshots. (I think that's because they assume everyone uses Samsung, which brings its own, but I'm on real Android and loving the experience over Samsung's bloaty mc bloatface experience.)
That was only one feature that I rarely use, but, once I tried to switch back to FF on mobile, I realized some other problems came back to me and were only happening on FF. Perhaps it's one of my plugins, but every other scroll-up motion is ignored. The only reason I have plugins is to give me dark mode on accessibility-challenged sites, and that ability to do that with plugins was initially FF mobile's edge over others, but dark mode is natively built into Brave.
I still prefer FF on desktop, and I want it to win on mobile, especially for its reading mode that I don't think any other browser comes close to implementing.
Some "church" pulpits are helping spew that stuff, too. (Not all churches, and I'd go so far as to say not real churches. Political campaign theaters masquerading as religious institutions.)
A major point here is that this scam was made more possible due to the challenges of accessibility, such as screen readers not conveying some of the usual signs of a scammer (if they smooth out abnormalities like strange capitalization and spelling errors). Even if people miss this article due to the subscription pop-up, at least let this be another reminder that accessibility of online content matters and that any of us could depend on it.
With ever-increasing opportunities for online learning (some free), I'm imagining the new elite education is one merging online resources (Khan Academy, university online courses, Brilliant, etc.) and institutional instruction to achieve more advanced outcomes for the typical student of a traditional degree. For some disciplines, this could offload from traditional institutions what is now being treated as advanced vocational training and allow them to focus on maximizing post-grad program candidates for academics and for advanced careers.
The question of "can the grid handle it" is a complex question. ERCOT has some fun gauges on a dashboard view. I think those gauges only answer some things but not other important ones. E.g., there could be transmission bottlenecks within the grid that aren't represented on those charts. And such bottlenecks might only become a problem if generation were to fail in the right place(s). If we were to rely on importing from outside the grid, what are the limits of the DC ties--bot just their current flows, but their remaining capacity? There are also factors that aren't "the grid" but which will get lumped in with the same concept, too, like each independent plant supplying energy to the grid. (Those were the precipitating problem during Icepocalypse.)
Twitter user @adityarao310, whose tweet had accumulated more likes than Shah's own, posted: "Make no mistake. The support team was laid off here because business is failing and funding is dry. Not because of AI."
But, he added, Bensch's involvement was “pretty minor” when compared to others, while noting that his age was a mitigating factor. Bensch was 19 years old on Jan. 6, 2021.
“I am giving you this break because of your age” at the time and a lack of criminal history, McFadden said. “This doesn’t need to define you or your life.”
I wonder how sentencing compares for, say, a 19-year-old for a first-time gang involvement where they may have just been going along with the others. We're told this one used bear spray "against another rioter", for example, but I don't see more detail on that point.
