If you want to blame fish for ill health, you could do more than citing microplastics. Fish (especially in the oceans) tend to accumulate heavy metals like mercury. The risks from that are far higher than a tiny amount of microplastics.

While we’re at that, let’s also start spamming Ukranians on the false promises by the NATO countries and how those countries played a part in escalating the situation to this event. Ok, I’m being sarcastic, but I agree that spamming Russian

The Tor Project currently recommends not using Hetzner, among others, since there are many nodes there already. [1] I haven’t read the complete reasoning, but remember this one being around for sometime. [1]: https://community.to

A tangential question on Zoho Writer: why isn’t there any information on pricing (or a statement that it’s free)? I looked for pricing links. I even went to the resources page and searched for pricing and found no results. The very first th

I don’t know what to make of this. It seems like this is an enterprise product meant for companies with procurement and legal teams. Why I say that is because there is a pricing link in the top menu (but surprisingly not in the footer links

OP, not that this may yield any quick results, but this post should be emailed to Eddy Cue (cue@), the SVP of services, and Tim Cook (tcook@) at Apple. Some of the emails sent to them do get responses.

Apple designs services to cater to its own hardware, first and foremost. The intent is to get more people to buy Apple hardware. Any apps or services available on other platforms are usually poor efforts from the company (like iCloud or iTu

Seems like the email service is only available if you buy the domain from them or transfer the domain to them. I couldn’t find how one could use an existing domain that one owns without transferring to them.

Fastmail is not a good replacement for family needs because it’s quite expensive at one mailbox per person. Those who need multiple mailboxes should look at other options.

I’m curious to know if this has any similarities with fossil ( https://fossil-scm.org/ ). If it does, it would be nice to see that in the documentation.

The problem I have with some subscriptions (not all) is that you don’t get to use the app or service if you don’t pay. All your previous payments don’t matter at all. I also hate SaaS subscriptions that put something on the cloud just to tu

by AnonC 5y ago
That’s true, but this could be handled by providing the option to pay an annual or quarterly subscription fee, where the payment processing fee then becomes a smaller fraction. This could also benefit the subscriber with the option of a low

This needs 2016 in the title. Signal can spin stories about why federated protocols don’t work, but the simple explanation behind this is Signal doesn’t want to do certain things. Signal’s unwillingness to avoid doing certain things shouldn

The Telegram server code is not open source. It's been in the "we will open source everything at some point in time" limbo for years.

Privacy from whom? If you’re looking for privacy from other users on the platform, Signal and WhatsApp fail miserably because everyone else in the groups you’re in would get your phone number. In Telegram the default is not to expose your p

Nah, it’s a word in English, and what words mean can and do change over time in all languages. I’m not saying that using “crypto” to refer to cryptocurrency won’t confuse people who think of it as cryptography, but we need to ask for contex

All hardware dies at some point. What if both the Yubikeys die? What if the third one was already dead before and it wasn’t noticed because it wasn’t used recently? This sounds like too deep a maze for I don’t know how much benefit.

There’s nothing of that sort. Gmail has long had a feature where you could link your accounts and switch between them too.
