For those wondering, the ebooks for Information Doesn’t Want To Be Free, With a Little Help from My Friends, and Context are pay what you’d like.

50 million+ installs on Android, so it’s not a tiny number.

There are too many damn apps already imo, but apparently some people like having as many as possible

DuckDuckGo said U.S. app installs went up 18.1% week-over-week on average during the May 20 to May 25 period, compared to May 13 to May 18. The company said that growth was sustained for six consecutive days and peaked at 30.5% on May 25. On iOS, the rate of install is even higher, with week-over-week growth hitting a 33% average, peaking at 69.9%.

I seriously doubt that’s the real reason for those making the decisions. It’s just an easy explanation, and they’ll come up with other excuses when they keep expanding their borders.

That’s a problem with religion lol

In any sane country they’d both be equally dangerous (i.e. completely safe) too.

It’s the Jerusalem Post. It shouldn’t even be allowed here

To your edit, I just use “search”. It’s generic and it’s shorter

Open bobs

I’d do the same if I wasn’t so tight with my money lol. I prefer having multiple on-site backups so I don’t have the subscription fees.

If something bad enough happens to my house that it destroys all my backups then I imagine photos are not going to be very high on my list of priorities.

Obviously cloud storage is convenient, but there’s definitely better value in on-site backups.

That works out to $84/year, which is about what you could get a 1TB HDD for.

2 x 1TB HDDs in RAID will be much cheaper and reasonably safe in the long run.

1TB SSDs will be even better value due to their extended lifespans, and you’d get much better speeds.

While he deserves credit for finally coming out with it, it is incredibly frustrating that it took him this long.

Meloni just ended a long-standing military agreement with Israel over their attacks on Lebanon.

Trump has clearly been told to throw shade on him.

I don’t think it’s anything more than short-term versus long-term thinking.

I would not describe either country as “good”, but that has nothing to do with the above statement.

Everyone is dumb as shit now

A couple of the dumbest people I know believe that fluoride is bad for you

I don’t really see how that is relevant. Or how a country’s energy sources alone can determine whether they are “good” or “bad”.

Yet… they play the long game.

Wow that’s crazy! I literally covered my head with a towel and stuck some sunglasses over it and they approved my verification

Yeah it’s not easy to get people to care, and even harder to get them to move from something they’re familiar with.

The main motivation for me was getting off WhatsApp, so anyone who refused to get Signal just has to deal with SMS now.

I ripped the bandaid off when Facebook bought WhatsApp. I told all my contacts and the ones I actually talked to were willing to install Signal, even my grandparents.
