In most cases, there was simply no native script to begin with. If you look at some examples of non-Latin-based scripts for native American languages (e.g. Canadian Aboriginal syllabics, Cherokee syllabary etc), they are all derived from ne

You know, I am jealous of religious people sometimes precisely because they can believe in things that give them something to pin their hopes on in situation where there really isn't any hope, and even more so, to give them some high

You do realize that most countries that are Christian today have been made so by force sometime in the past, not because the locals were so happy about it? Where I'm from, they're still celebrating the "national baptism"

Not really. I have observed the same thing in Russian, and no, it's not for expressions that are translated literally. Having said that, SOTA models got much better at this kinda stuff. They're quite able to write in a way that is

International politics does matter. So, yes, a country that is historically hostile, or allied with countries that are hostile, towards yours, gets different treatment.

If any program can potentially be malicious (which is the effectively the case today with any downloaded software), then sandboxing is exactly the pertinent action - provided that the sandbox is tight enough.

Try Vivaldi. It's a "kitchen sink" browser in the same vein as Opera used to be back in its days of glory, so it comes with an email and calendar client that can be optionally turned off: https://vivaldi.com/b
