Clownworld :) If anything, it may be derogative towards monkeys, which would make it (from a human perspective) speciesist, not racist. And then, which monkey species exactly? But again, clownworld

Are you saying the OP's observation is not true? Otherwise, I am not sure how your comment is relevant.

So another proprietary messaging service? :)

by fortnum 4y ago
Then that's not an "email service".

by fortnum 4y ago
I am not sure what I misunderstood. You are providing a system that allows sending emails, right? Hence the question how you would get past Google.

by fortnum 4y ago
How would I get emails past Google's filters with your solution? I understand that's the main advantage over using your own mailserver.

That argument apply to any country. I am not sure which numbers, maybe you can link them. Your personal experience seems to differ quite a bit from mine, as I can't say Swiss trains are better than your average (Central) European train

Not in my experience, delays of a couple of minutes are standard and 15 to 20 minute delays are not unheard of. Mind you, commuter trains with 30 minute intervals. Check out Swiss newspapers, plenty of complaints. And again, I didn't s

I didn't say Swiss trains are worse.

Brought to you by Switzerland Tourism? Swiss trains are not bad and they are undoubtedly kept clean, but the punctuality is rather a myth. Especially commuter trains regularly have significant delays. Swiss trains are not bad, but not neces

> escape Russia I am not sure how that disproves your bias, respectively what that is even supposed to mean. I am not aware of any travel restrictions, so there's no "escape". I am also not quite sure why you are so dismis

No offence, but the bias mentioned by verisimi earlier seems to be quite obvious at this point. I don't think continuing the discussion makes much sense.

Nobody will claim any military action is a good thing. But you equally cannot say this conflict just started a few weeks ago. If NATO hadn't pushed further and further (and went against what was agreed), we would have never had that is

As I mentioned, I can't support Mozilla any more and hence am migrating away. I am not entirely happy supporting the Chrome universe at this point, but this is the only way if Mozilla is not an option any more.

by fortnum 5y ago
I realise that. That is exactly my concern, however sometimes one has to make concessions.
47.
by fortnum 5y ago
Honest answer :) Because I do not condone that move. It will be difficult because I have been using Firefox for years and tried to avoid anything Chrome-based and I am not very happy with Google's Manifest v3 approach, but Mozilla just

by fortnum 5y ago
Have been a strong(!) advocate for Firefox for years. Now it is time to switch. Not sure where to yet, Chrome is not any better, Palemoon is not exactly well supported. Maybe Brave, Vivaldi, or Opera, though they are all Chrome-based as wel

And no, I am not saying everything on RT is 100% objective and unbiased. Especially with programs as Crosstalk you can notice and certain bias from its host. But even that bias is not worse than what appears to be standard with Western prop

I do not think the OP meant to say the latter but rather express his disappointment with what is taking place in Ukraine right now. But yes, we should not forget about Yemen where the same thing is happening https://www.theguardi

Nobody will question that. Military conflict is always horrible. Be that in the Ukraine, be that in Yemen, be that in Iraq, be that in Afghanistan, be that in any of the other thousand examples throughout human history. The issue here is, i

Its sole focus is on skin colour or how a person "identifies". Other factors are completely left out, e.g. the rampant ageism in the industry and that's just one factor not the only.

I think you made a lot of assumptions here which will be most likely wrong about most people. The whole diversity thing is extremely one-sided and biased and very much undiverse in nature. mrfusion made a very valid point in this context.

"pay" appears twice in the article, "salary" exactly once. The author did touch the salary topic, but it is not the main point.
