Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

Exactly.

But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?

Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.

It does https://try-setanta.ie/

Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?

I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.

But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.

Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.

According to @postcard64 below I’m oversimplifying things (at minimum).

Thanks. In that case is it known which of those two possibilities are most likely?

I thought that SSD fails “better” than HDD because SDD become read-only first.

Anyone know how this compares to FreshRSS?

Update: I see a few differences. It’s mobile friendly and is more simplified in some ways. That’s all good. They say to expect breakage so it mightn’t be as stable yet.

We’re obviously not getting the hint!

Take the time to develop more understanding, and therefore empathy for yourself and others. You’ll never truly do anything worthwhile without empathy.

You just showed your best hand. I can’t protect you now.

Alien (1979). When the cryogenic sleep pods open at the beginning it reminds me of those dioramas people do of Baby J, the three wise men etc. The alien is like one of the animals, although a little more aggressive.

Pretending that they’d have a good life here: koalas and elephants.
