last time I checked, IMAP/SMTP required not only a paid account, but running Protonmail's proprietary bridge app

protonmail is also proprietary.

that said, gmail is surely a terrible recommendation

The entire concept of "quantum" is that it's the smallest possible unit.

A "quantum leap" is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.

The Planck length, based (it's a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That's 0.00..00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.

it's a "quantum leap" only in the original scientific meaning of "the smallest distance something can possibly move"

Wikipedia is hilariously biased, especially on any politics or history topics.

here are extensive lists of complaints of bias, from both left- and right- wing alternatives:

A female changing room (noun adjunct)

Noun adjunct is a noun functioning as an adjective.

“A male character has no stats difference compared to a female.” (Probably an adjective but arguably not)

"female [character]" definitely an adjective

“female-only” is an adjective phrase where “female” is a noun. Compare “lion-only zoo.” Adjectives don’t work here (× big-only zoo)

Yes "female-only" sounds gross.

the only examples here which don't sound completely gross are the ones where you misunderstood the part of speech..

exactly this

so someone born in 1997 has a different source of nostalgia to someone born in 1996, but the same as someone born in 1998?

your life will improve if you stop sorting yourself and everyone else into arbitrary groups of named generations, that have more difference within them than between them..

usually "revenue" means "income, before expenses" so if wouldn't matter if they made a profit (revenue higher than expenses) or a loss (revenue less than expenses)

english is a great language with which to get into a habit of saying "according to," or "traditionally," before statements like these.

if "why they use" is understood as a question, then it's functioning as a question. to try to point out a "mistake" in english against some supposed objective or better standard is to fight a classist, sisyphean, and intellectually unrigorous battle against the reality of language in use. spare yourself the frustration.

promoting the diabolical plot of.. people having more time in their lives? reducing emissions and car deaths?

what exactly is good about having to travel further to get basic necessities in a city?

changing names when getting married isn't the same as one partner changing their name to the other's, who doesn't change theirs...

I feel like if bombing anywhere could help make more trains then Davos during the WEF, or Washington DC, would be about 100 places further up the list, even if it wouldn't give you the same bloodthirsty nationalist ahistorical satisfaction. But it seems unhinged to think anyone needs to die at all...

not the person you're replying to but yes, anyone on an unpatched server is vulnerable

"Walmart would just... Cease to exist"

"became the target of harassment" is a very shady way of putting "eBay harassed":

eBay engaged in absolutely horrific, criminal conduct. The company's employees and contractors involved in this campaign put the victims through pure hell, in a petrifying campaign aimed at silencing their reporting and protecting the eBay brand

mm yes and it has no relation whatsoever to current events, well done calling out this completely irrelevant information
