Yeah I don’t know about that, it rolled out globally a month later.

Except imessage and facetime are end-to-end encrypted in China.

Leafly lists 6,822 cannabis strains. Though ‘strains’ or more aptly cultivars are often not reflective of the actual underlying chemical nature of the plant [source]. They are ultimately not very meaningful in general.

Based on this database, Europe has 104 varieties of hemp registered.

Canada has 87 but there is probably overlap.

Though potatoes and cannabis aren’t really a fair comparison for many reasons. There are a lot of different species of potatoes with major chromosomal differences but cannabis only has 3 species.

I’d say it’s mostly garbage. It introduces annoying pop-ups. You can turn them off but it’s grating.

E.g. every time you connect to a new screen it asks to go into presentation mode.

I’d say anything parallels toolbox can do, I can find an open source tool which can do it better. Sort of a jack of all trades, master of none.

Though I could see it being useful for a non-power user that is afraid of installing software.

While I’ve never used it personally I’ve heard good things about cloudflare tunnel.

That’s cool, I’ve been passively wanting a brew/apt alternative for windows for years. I had no idea Microsoft made one.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with windscribe but I don’t trust any company that offers a cheap lifetime plan for something that requires so much upkeep.

They don’t advertise it, just message support from your .edu email and tell them your username. They’ll apply it and let you use the STUDENT promo code. It’s 50% off the year plan so $5 a month.

Basically 3 good choices

ProtonVPN AirVPN IVPN

Proton has a 50% off student discount bringing the price down to $5 a month for all proton services.

IVPN is probably the best but most expensive.

I’d say past security breaches are enough reason to stay away.

The bidet has a hot air dryer. Truly living in the future.

Best way is probably just to leave it running for a while and make sure ports are forwarded.

I still use torrents sometimes but almost exclusively use Usenet these days. For Plex/jellyfin servers it’s pretty unbeatable.

Torrents are mostly stuff like audiobooks from audiobookbay and myanonymouse and games from repackers like Fitgirl.

I mean usenet costs money and torrents don’t.

When my Muslim coworker told me that they didn’t use toilet paper and found it disgusting.

I later got a bidet and have never looked back.

I really don’t think that 3rd party apps were anything but collateral damage. I think his real goal is to try and capitalize off of AI training.

He clearly saw these companies using reddit data to train AI for like no money and got upset.

I would say it’s not really an age thing. I mean age probably plays a role but ultimately it’s just a hobby that is relatively common and not very exciting to an outsider.

This is definitely experienced by 20 year olds too. There is definitely a social pressure.

Based on this, 12% of people in your age bracket play video games, it’s typically a roughly 50/50 split by gender. Not exactly a small amount. I think it’s more that if you date 10 women, one will be a gamer and you’ve just not met that one.
