Russia already has access to the Black Sea even without any Ukrainian land.

I truly feel like if we let Russia get anything that might count as a positive for them from this war, there will definitely be a new war of at least similar scale, but probably significantly worse and significantly less contained.

"Real" in this sense is not etymologically related to "royal".

Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.

It's not the exact same thing, but I've definitely been drawn out of what I'm watching because of compression artifacts.

Because it's not ideological, they just want to generate porn, which is against OpenAI TOS.

The price of a cup of coffee yeah maybe, but with how many paid online services there are, how many cups of coffee a day y'all think I'm having?

I mean, THE main character traits of Scrooge McDuck are that he's stingy and absolutely ludicrously filthy rich.

No, I hold down the clutch and the brake, then slowly start releasing the clutch, and when the engine starts struggling I release the brake and jump to the gas pedal to get more revs in, release the clutch all the way, and hopefully start moving forward instead of stalling the engine.

They should of course keep that in mind, but it's not that "should" should always be followed by a verb directly. The problem is that "of" in this context is a mishearing/spelling of "have", so they should in this case have written it like that instead.

I mean, you've got to start somewhere.

What about someone who has been slowly degoogling themselves but isn't all the way there yet?

On that note, any suggestions for a privacy-friendlier alternative for my favorite but most difficult-to-replace Google service, location history?

What does it mean then, if not implying that you're not a real Privacy user or cannot be interested in improving your privacy situation if you use Google products?

Nice gatekeeping bro, keep it up

Definitely available on Windows too, here: https://chromium.woolyss.com/#windows

I believe it is the Vsauce video titled The Banach-Tarski Paradox.

That's the main reason I didn't even consider them. "Proton(mail)" just sounds more professional when used in actually important contexts and is easier for people to get right.

In general, I've noticed that a lot of privacy focused software, particularly FOSS, are really bad at choosing names which make people want to use them. They tend to have names which might appeal to some crypto-nerds, but which make them sound just weird or questionable or niche to the average user. Like (the precursor to) Signal the messaging app used to be called TextSecure. There's no way I would've gotten my parents and siblings to use something called TextSecure. The name just sounds so geeky and niche.

I don't think it will have enough room to stand up
