Hey, I despise bait and switch from large corps. But I also find it unsustainable this idea that societies and legal resources are wasted fighting for IPs. The code is out there. Millions of people are being trained and writing code based o

Not a joke. Don't know deeply about all parliamentary cultures around the world but here[1] is an example of a small party that finally got 1 MP elected (2019) only to expel this MP from the party within months of the election due to d

I get that Evernote seems stagnant (or even dead by many accounts) and it certainly is lacking in critical features such as e2ee, but all these (paid) alternatives are only covering a small fraction of Evernote functionally: mostly text not
