I saw the same post! Was in my feed on Instagram, kind of like an ad to download Threads. It was preceeded by two posts from attractive young women looking for "travel partners".
What an inept way to promote a website: Two bots and a bigot.
Sorry, I don't use proton mail. It sounds annoying, but please understand that I am not talking from the perspective of a person who uses the service and is directly affected by them.
Hmm, guess I was wrong, then - that would be very annoying; especially if you're getting pop-ups for a family plan you won't ever be able to make use of as you're a solo user.
They mentioned that they bought premium, so they won't be seeing ads. Edit: Multiple people below are telling me that purchasing premium does not remove all ads, so that's actually quite annoying.
As an aside, I really don't get the logic of using a service like e-mail and just expecting it to be free - it's very bizarre to me.
If it's something important to you (as I assume e-mail is), pay for it - or stop whining about ads/nagging pop-ups.
And if you can't pay for it, download Dovecot and try doing it yourself - it's a fun experience, and will make you appreciate the work done by email providers. Spoiler alert: it's a massive pain in the butt.
All jokes aside, most desktop apps and web browsers, nowadays, use ungodly amounts of RAM. The pessimist in me blames Chrome and electron, but in reality it just comes down to programmers being more accustom to having access to more memory than they need.
I say relax and enjoy the lack of slowdowns - having too much RAM is not a problem, but having too little is. Your only concern should ever be trying to avoid the latter, and with 32gb of RAM you should be good until the next big Discord update. (slight /s on that last point)
I enjoyed most of the characters, especially the relationship between the dwarf prince and the elf smith! (been a bit since I've seen the show, forgive me for not remembering the names).
I really enjoyed the numenor segments, and anything involving the orcs and their tunnels. Also loved the hooded figure mystery.
I disliked most of the developments relating to Numenor not recognizing a threat and the Harfoots being scared of outsiders; I find xenophobia in media to be kind of a crutch that can be used to excuse lazy storytelling and creating unnecessary conflict, and these developments were no exception.
But, yeah, overall I found the show to be fun and entertaining, and I enjoyed most of the characters. And, yes, this also includes the warrior elf who many disliked. Without spoiling things, I think the actor fit that role very well.
I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, I very much enjoyed watching it and would gladly watch a sequel.
Love how this new series feels exactly like Zero Punctuation, but with better music and a new paint job - feels like a solid refinement of the original!
One thing to add, it looks like Flipboard is all in on the Fediverse: they've announced plans to support ActivityPub in Flipboard itself, turning it into a federated service.
They literally did all that, though. It hasn't even been 2 hours since your post and their name has changed.
