Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox

I’m not gonna say I know much about his history, but I am surprised so many people are jumping to take his side in this debacle. I would’ve thought in this day and age that people would be a bit more sceptical of CEOs.

Without knowing the real reasons behind it, it’s very difficult to hold an opinion on the board’s decisions

Australia

I think so, I only really looked at the cheapest one

I’ve been using the free version of protonmail for years, and I’ve thought about paying but it’s just so expensive! Even with the current deal it’s still €40 a year for the lowest tier, budget email subscription. The next step up is €104. Then after 12 months it goes back to full price.

Convincing myself to pay that for something I’ve never paid for before is a huge ladder to climb for me

I just wanna say I appreciate people here making intelligent, good faith arguments on both sides without resorting to black or white thinking or getting too aggressive/ abusive.

What’s a bidet attachment do?

Not sure if that counts. I’m from Australia so technically all US tv series are “foreign” to me.

The premise was foreign tv series, by which I assume means from non- English speaking countries

Dark was great, it reminded me a bit of Stranger Things in the first season. By the second season you almost need to take notes to keep up with the story line though

Sahsiyet. It’s like Breaking Bad, but Turkish. Really well produced and binge worthy.

I’m doomscrolling right now

Personally I found being unemployed was way, way worse

Phones.

Banking apps, podcasts, gps navigation, chatting to friends, listening to music are all awesome.

But then getting stuck doomscrolling and constantly checking my phone trying to eke out a little more stimulation when literally anything else would be a more productive way to spend my day - that part sucks ass.

Not to mention how much more cleaning they need compared to, say, the legs and arms.

Are you assuming there’s the one species who live all over the globe, like humans do? I was coming from the viewpoint that there may be related but divergent species who evolved to different gravity “climates”. I think that might affect the how things turn out to some extent.

Travel around the low gravity areas would be easier, but they would also only be limited to those areas due to piggyback weakness, whereas the people who evolved/grew up in high gravity would be able to travel the earth, so they would be the explorers, merchants and conquerors. Of course as technology advances this will all mean less and less

I can see the low gravity areas becoming prime real estate though, like you said. Talking geologically for a second, my first guess is that these would be higher elevation as the crust isn’t pulled down so much by gravity, and erode slower. Also precious metal deposits might(?) be closer to the surface too. If this is the case then this will give the low G folks to also advance in tech faster with greater access to useful metals. So if they’re quick enough maybe they can defeat the 'heavy’s with ingenuity.

I didn’t really come to a conclusion there did I? I just got more confused the more I thought about geopolitics…

I think the people who evolved in the highest gravity regions would become like supermen and end up ruling the whole world due to their superior strength. If not, it would at least give them a significant advantage while technology is still primitive. How would they defend themselves from attack?

YES! This is my number one pet peeve. I am so fucking tired of having to install an app just to use my new e-scooter, or light bulb, or to use 100 new different functions that would work perfectly well on your website if you weren’t such a fucking money grubbing troglodyte.
