I'll happily pay the new prices, if they actually have the servers available. Cheap pricing is nice, but not that useful when in practice you can't actually buy most of the time.

It's kind of amazing how many comments even here seem to implicitly or explicitly agree that the "optimal" number is more than zero.

Personally, I rather enjoy not having my kids shot at school.

It's kind of amazing how we can find countries with more than zero but still don't have kids shot at school.

How peculiar.

Try kagi :)

Counter point: If it had been onsite, there would be a full layer of social sensibilities and grace from the colleagues you work with every day, helping you out.

Conversely, it is much easier, on several levels, to support and guide someone you spend your whole day and go to lunch with.

"Microsoft won't get very far as a business if [they do what they've been doing for decades]"

Story doesn't check out.

Microsoft has been cutting off the EU and Australia for decades? That's news to me!

Sounds like you're just not the target audience, then. Not every product has to have an ads-based or freemium business model.

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm

Okay fair enough, Signal's end-to-end encryption is a lot more complex than that but really how is it a terrible end user experience?

Signal isn't nice to use on multiple devices. I'd lose my chats if I lost my phone without backing up the keys. Actually WhatsApp somehow deleted my chats even though I restored my phone from backup, idk. Signal also stops notifying you if it goes out of date.

It's fine for the use case they're meant for. Unlike Instagram, they had these usability limitations from the start, and they delegated auth completely to the phone providers.

It's not terrible. It's just worse in some areas. Which is of course a worthwhile trade-off for many people. Just... Some people don't really care about the privacy part

This sounds promising, but the examples don't show what a report actually looks like? What information does this actually show?

They don't have an example but they have the schema the functions return

Because "put in all knowledge of chemistry that we have, except this specific recipe" isn't how knowledge works

Short version: Werner Koch personally hates some people involved with the RFC9580 standardization, and cannot emotionally bear working with anything even loosely associated. He also struggled accepting anyone's opinion but his own while editor of the draft back then.

Search for "asking the editor to step down" to find the moment when the working group decided he was more trouble than it's worth (and GnuPG's support was obviously worth a lot in the openpgp community).
