  • Gandalf arrived in Middle Earth in the year 1000 of the Third Age. So he's been around in that form for about 2000 years since Bilbo's farewell party took place in the 3001st year of the Third Age. The Fellowship was founded in 3018 so Gandalf is about that old if we're only counting his time in Middle Earth like you say

    Edit: This is in part why people are upset with the Rings of Power show. If this not-Gandalf character ends up being Gandalf, he'll have arrived in Middle Earth about 3000 years too early. On top of that there are just a lot of other timeline deviations, including the order of the forging of the rings which you would imagine the whole show to be about.

  • I'm not European either. I'm also American. I wasn't contradicting anything you were saying; I agree with it. I was just trying to add to the discussion by suggesting that if we are going to get universal healthcare right in America, we have to consider a lot more than just free access.

  • I know someone whose life is made substantially worse because they have a lack of access to healthcare. They live in Europe and can't get access to the specialized medicine that they need in the timeframe that they need it in. I'm not saying that socialized medicine is bad—I'm actually all for it—but it needs to be implemented well for it to actually work. This is just my anecdotal evidence to say that just because everyone has access doesn't automatically mean it's adequate access.

  • I disagree that the UI/DE/WM is a good way to evaluate a distro. One could make any distro look and feel like any other.

    In my opinion one should look primarily at three factors:

    1. Package manager
    2. Release type
    3. Stability

    From there just choose either Debian or Arch and install the UI you want with the DE/WM

  • Yeah you must be right with that pricing page. I think it's also unclear what is offered in terms of VPN when you actually try to purchase the Mail plus plan. At any rate, lots of ways for people to be confused about what plan includes what.

  • I don't think this plan supports P2P. You're still on the free plan with the VPN.

    Edit: Looks like I was wrong. I remember needing to switch to a better plan to get the P2P but I guess I was wrong.

    Edit 2: There is some inconsistent information on the Proton site regarding what is included in each plan and this seems to be the source of our confusion in this thread.
