Compared to Telegram, it feels like using a laggy MSN Messenger. The experience, both client and server-wise, just feels very unpolished. It's no single big thing, it's more like death by a thousand cuts. I was bullish on Matrix b

And even when you do enable encryption of the chat contents, the unencrypted metadata is often enough for security services to make a suspect out of you. Granted, this is mostly a concern for Russian and Belarusian users.

Sure haven't expected to see Pilot Brothers there, never realized that those even had an international release outside of the former Soviet countries in the first place.

One reason why I personally never bothered is the licensing of some of its important parts, which is a choice of either GPL or commercial. Which is fair, but too bothersome for some use-cases (e.g. mobile apps which are inherently GPL-unfri

Depends on the country. Many countries don't have fair use laws; thus, fan fiction is technically illegal there. In practice though you're not likely to be sued unless you're making a significant amount of money or damaging t

In my experience, Galaxy works no better than a web app, unfortunately. Similarly laggy and lacks the snappiness you'd normally associate with a native app.

The latest population census in Russia was executed so horribly that demographics experts still rely on the 2010 and earlier ones to figure out the approximate population number (the difference between estimations is in ~10 million range).

Russian space program is in the gutter, and by the looks of things the decline is going to continue in the foreseeable future. So I would rather say China and India.

The career path of going from developing eDonkey to launching a space station will never cease to amaze me.

If it was easy enough to rent my desktop while I'm not using it (such that I can get it back whenever I need it myself, within a few minutes at most), I would happily do it.

Depends a lot on where you were growing up, and what kind of community surrounded you. For me IRC and the internet at large was a salvation, but the 90s in my country of origin were... interesting times. Being on the internet was much healt

The wiki format has indeed become ubiquitous for fan sites, but many fan wikis are fairly elaborate and ad-free (-ish, at least). Often the case for popular gacha games at least, e.g. https://bluearchive.wiki/ . The problem

Officials in my country of origin might lock me out of using banking and government services if I post something wrong on the internet even if I permanently reside abroad, and while I still have relatives there I cannot risk that happening.

I usually go for Cable Matters cables, they tend to be of a decent quality and follow the specs well. UGREEN is supposedly a reliable option too, though I cannot personally vouch as I haven't used their cables in particular.

Used to be Windows, but Linux being able to run Docker containers without emulation is a killer feature for me (I am primarily developing backends that also run on Linux). Even if the driver issues are still really annoying.

Anecdotal, but a year ago we lost the whole RAID array in a rented Hetzner server to some hardware failure. In a way, I think it doesn't matter what you use as long as you diversify enough (and have lots of backups), as everything can
