Nah, no ofence to developmentally disabled dudes intended. As for the use of the word, I'd say it's mostly due to my personal deeply negative outlook on language cleansings and some cultural differences. The former is about feds trying to enforce what we can and cannot say, so it's not terribly relevant in this case, but the latter is more interesting: for example, in russian we have words "педераст"*/"пидор", which without context are more or less equivalent to english "faggot"/"fag", and would indeed be considered derogatory when applied to gay fellas; however, most often they're used to either jokingly or not call sb a bad person and imply anything about their sexual preferences. Even closer examples are "даун" (a short for a person with the Down syndrome, which is a currently used diagnosis, but hella rude when applied to them; use the full phrase if you ever want to speak about the disorder in russian) and "олигофрен" (pretty much "the r-word", as you call it; also an old name for a medical diagnosis; quite rarely used nowadays since it doesn't really roll of the tongue, but is actually somewhat acceptable in public if you want to call sb. out for their monumental stupidity). So, to me it's quite unusual to somehow associate ppl currently living with a disorder with their historic negative image attached to a word that is no longer commonly used to refer to them; ppl live on their own, and so does that bunch of characteristics they back in the stone age were supposed to possess.
*technically, it's derived from greek, and means "pedophile", and was even used this way, I think, in the late USSR. Don't really remember exactly, since it's been a while since I went into that etymological rabbithole. So, yeah, even the image changes from time to time
Freedom of speech just can't be applied selectively, tho. One day you restrict someone's speech, the next day they are in power and restrict yours. However, it doesn't mean you have to listen to someone, but instead can easily tell 'em to go preach to other brain dead casualties of inbreeding in whatever shithole they currently occupy.
Imo, arduino is also mostly a software project nowadays. While they did make a bunch of avr boards that were quite novel and interesting at the time, now they are not as good in terms of both price and performance compared to various arm-based boards.
What keeped arduino alive is a bunch of libs and arduino ide cores for various boards ppl have written over time.
"Less suitable [...] than expected" is kinda terrifying given expectations must've been pretty low in the 1st place knowing their history with linux...
Haven't heard of it, personally, except the case with introducing a vulnerability similar to the case with the xz backdoor that wasn't merged. Would appreciate the link, tho
Uh-huh, sure, just about protecting the users. Nevermind that actual malware is regularly found on play store, and exactly 0 times -- on f-droid they're "protecting" the users from.
Does it matter, tho? To me it looks like all phones are ultimately the same for quite a while now. Pixels used to be better mostly due to providing the ability to effortlessly unlock the bootloader while being the de facto aosp testing target, but as of lately they've decided to fix that, not to mention their moves to enshitify away the option to side load the apps. Samsung's always been a wannabe crapple, and crapple is crapple.
TA just didn't fit my use case when I tested it, tbh: I mainly wanted to expose a dozen or so YouTube channels as podcasts to antennapod while saving the audio and stripping integrations with sponsorblock.
I may be wrong here, but does it really make sense when you can't actually prove the misuse did or did not happen? Say, you suspect phishing, then it's a matter of inspecting a few next e-mails to/from non-proton users to decide if it's likely happening. On the other hand, when the account is blocked, proton (as long as the claims about at-rest encryption are true) has no way of verifying the claim, since, as far as I'm aware, a user can't provide them with what they've sent even if they wanted to.
Mostly because compilers do this kind of stuff if you optimize for space, iirc. Not that you should never do it or something, but it kinda looks like premature optimization to me.
