I didn't say you've been brainwashed, I'm saying you're intentionally propagandizing.

Russian propaganda folks.

No, those are not the only alternatives. I keep my password manager in my computer.

Make sure you click this link https://sqlite.org/src/timeline So the sqlite developers use their on versioning system which uses sqlite for storage. Funny.

Wait, I've watched this episode before. The US owed France large amount of gold (the legal mechanism for this was called "the dollar"). France asked to redeem their dollars for gold, and the US said "nah, we're keep

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is you have this gene that increases the probability that you'll have Alzheimers in the future. The good news is you have cancer now, so you're safe.

That's why I don't do either of those.

I can tell you. Forgejo is a git server (i.e. you can push to a remove that lives in a different machine) plus a web GUI that allows to list repos, list commits within a repo, navigate commits and files within a commit. The license is Free

It's not, because the world we live in isn't binary. It's not true that "it's encrypted therefore nothing can go wrong". Putting your password manager online increases the risk of an accident. And just because

I only use Proton for the spam or temporary low value (and free) email accounts. Proton also tries to do everything, which I don't like. If I did I'd use Google. The thing I pay for is Tuta. The cheapest tier is way more generous

> The design of the EU is based on a foundation where other than the EU institutions themselves the founding legal entity must sit within a member state. You don't get it. You're arguing it's not possible on the basis of t

Personally, I try to not think of the world in binary terms. I don't find "unification bad" useful.

If the EU is saying "we'll make it work", replying "can't work because that's how the EU is designed" doesn't seem like an intelligent response.

Lobbies whose only purpose is to sustain themselves even at the cost of maintaining friction should be made illegal.

In that case it sounds like "unification was bad" is an unfair characterization. Unification was bad by proxy, due to the bad decisions of Germany. If Germany had made better decisions, unification would've been good as Swede

What you're describing is selection bias: Obviously I'm going to choose an engineer that agrees with me, and I'm not going to bring one that doesn't agree with me. But I'm not allowed to pay him to defend a side. Wi

No no those are lawyers for poor people like you and me. When we talk about lawyers for companies and billionaires it's a completely different game. Remember last time a lawyer said they wouldn't represent facebook because they di

Lawyers are intellectual prostitutes. Think about it. They will defend whatever position you pay them to defend. Can you imagine if you ask an engineer "what's your opinion on the maximum load this bridge can take?" he answer

All you're saying is "it went up more". Still irrelevant impact in the world.

> why should I know anything The obvious answer is "Because it's interesting." But suppose you think strictly in utilitarian terms: what effort should I invest for what $$$ return. I have two things to say to you: First: w
