They will just take all their oil billions and buy up battery companies at the last moment.

I know it's bad to say but MS office is a real barrier. That and done other compatibility issues with Windows apps made me abandon Ubuntu for Windows after several months where I otherwise loved it.

It's the CEOs that drive this decision for and against, not the bean counters.

That generational improvement is not the natural order of the universe. It's the result of individuals putting themselves in harms way to push for change. It's hard-fought legislation moving the cause forward. It's constitutional amendments. It's legal cases won against the odds. It's corporations jumping on the bandwagon not wanting to be seen to oppose respectable society.

But those who have always fought against the process are racking up wins. That generational change you've observed that looked inevitable is under severe threat. You cannot count on it happening by itself.

I don't understand. How does the site you're using the email alias for impact how many aliases you can have? I use simplelogin with a custom domain and have never been restricted from adding an alias. I don't recognize the issue you're having.

For every proton post, can we please get a bot that auto posts these, to save everyone the effort:

  • proton isn't private / yes it is / they never claimed to be
  • wasnt there a case when they shared that activist account / you have the facts wrong, here's what actually happened
  • [insert proton app name] for Linux when? / Linux is only x% of user base
  • proton needs to finish [insert proton app name] before starting something new / they are different teams so not relevant
  • proton needs to make X / no they don't
  • people shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket / don't use the service then

Thanks!

Comparing proton with Microsoft like this is a joke.

Laziest common response to things like this. People still use Windows? People still use cars? WordPress is insanely popular and there's no indication that's going to change. Not even after you've chosem to signal to all of us here that you don't use it. Good for you, though!

Tesla model 3 doors do not lock immediately every time they shut. But if you use your cell phone as a key, the default behavior is that they are locked if you walk away with the phone a few yards.

Novice web site owner/coder here: wondering if I can block them somehow via IP address in addition to robots.txt. Server firewall rule? Remember, I said I was a novice....
