“Be happier or it’s another hour in the humbler”

Protonmail is definitely more private than google or Microsoft, but you shouldn’t hold 100% trust in any provider. Ultimately your data is still on their hardware and they have control of it. Also, as others have pointed out, both sides need to be secure otherwise all that data is accessible on the other side.

You can mitigate it yourself a bit by hosting your own email server, but I highly recommend against that as its a massive headache to secure and basically every provider will reject your messages anyway.

Right attitude, wrong solution.

Email is very much not private

Kind of. Because the game was technically owned by the USSR he was not eligible to receive any royalties until his prior contracts expired. He has received royalties on it starting around 1996.

Other people have already said it, but it’s Tetris.

Its the only game ever made that I would describe as “perfect”.

It takes seconds to learn how to play, while the skill ceiling is in the stratosphere. It’s endlessly replayable, the music is iconic, and it’s available for basically any platform made in the last 40 years.

“Tech bros reinvent trains, but worse” makes perfect sense if your end goal is to grift people.

Everyone knows what a train is, and any investment firm will be able to understand the material, land, and labor costs because all of that is well known and documented.

When you have an idea that no one has ever done before, then the costs get nebulous. Getting funding turns into a marketing problem, and thats a lot easier when the person paying doesn’t know exactly what they’re getting. Every investor wants to be on the ground floor of the next major innovation, and your job is to convince them that’s what this is.

You couldn’t make this movie today. It was already made in 1982.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it’s based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

They were pretty astonished when they heard that she had installed a GPU by herself (which most people here know is trivial). Which gave her enough confidence to fix her VCR by herself.

Anyone can learn any skill if they actually invest the time.

And regarding the older brother, you learn pretty quickly working help desk that users generally don’t care what the problem is or why it happened. They just want to get back to work and not have it happen again. After a while you get conditioned to just be friendly and solve the issue without explaining what you’re doing or why.

The reason this is done is because you can see everything your browser is doing, but you can’t see everything an application is doing without disassembling it.

I want very much to go back to websites. Apps are stupid.

This is a good attitude. Remember that the ‘S’ in “IoT” stands for security

The future is stupid.

Almost every MaltOMeal cereal is better than the name brand version.
