That’s pretty funny! ���

Low IQ: it's not a straight line

Medium IQ: it's a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line

High IQ: it's not a straight line

Oh, it's possible. So much so that they made a TV show out of it.

It'll be rewritten in mdBook

Back when I was still doing JS stuff, switching to TS was so good for the developer experience. Yeah, there's still JS jank, and types are not validated at runtime, which was a pain in the backend (pun intended), but still I much prefer it to vanilla JS

Proton requires an account, which gives them some of your info, while Mullvad does not, giving you an anonymous account number instead.

If Proton really doesn't log VPN traffic, then it doesn't really matter. But since Mullvad does not have that same personal info, they would be unable to provide law enforcement or 3rd party data brokers any hard data aside from your IP if they wanted to.

Lol, it took me a while to realize it's the compiler essentially saying "how high".

To be fair, they are providing several services with it, along with the data hosting. Being verified also means you get boosted in search results, with comes with more downloads. So at least the cost can be somewhat justified. Whether it's too much is valid for debate.

Dang it, I left my face at home

That's definitely true. I've always liked the concept, but never bought into this hype around the speculation, which really gives it a bad name.

That's why I think Monero is really the way forward to a good cryptocurrency. It's price is fairly stable and makes more sense than Bitcoin in many ways. I'd use it more if there were more vendors using it. The most I've done with it is buy a Mullvad subscription.

I think there was a potential future where cryptocurrency could've actually been useful, but it was ruined by scammers, rug pullers, and of course, speculators.

I'll still hold a little bit of Monero, since it holds the most potential for being a real currency in my opinion. But otherwise, I fully agree with the sentiment.

The trick with Q-tips is to not go far. I mainly use it to clean the initial part of my ear and only rubbing it in a circular manner to prevent cramming anything in there. If I find myself the need to go deeper, I will use eardrops.
