Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡

I largely agree with what you’re saying, except the official Proton Mastadon account doubled down on that personal opinion. That seems pretty clear that it’s endorsed not just by that one individual on the board.

What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.
Doesn’t the screenshot you posted explain what’s going on?

As cool as that story is, it’s not correct. Taken from https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/71/1/46/819012/Mary-Somerville-s-vision-of-scienceThe-Scottish
“Mary Somerville’s iconic status is often summed up by stating that William Whewell, in his review of her book On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences, hailed her as the first “scientist.” But almost exactly the opposite was the case. Nowhere did Whewell or anyone else in her lifetime ever call Somerville a scientist, nor is it a word, so far as we know, that she ever used herself. By our current understanding of the term, Somerville can certainly be called a scientist, but for her contemporaries she belonged to a higher and more profound category entirely.”

He wanted to debate Biden again. That mean he thinks he lost the first debate against Biden?

Will using non-gmail hurt my chance of getting hired?
If someone legitimately cares what email provider you use and uses that against you in the hiring process, chances are it’s not a place you’d want to work anyway.

Could you post a photo of your cat and tell me what makes them so special?
This is Rocky. I grew up my entire life having cats and had a total of 9 before my wife and I got Rocky. I say that because having known so many different cats over the years, Rocky is hands down the sweetest, snuggliest, and friendliest with strangers cat I’ve ever had.
If he’s not curled up on one of our laps, he at least has to always be in the same room as us. If we are in different rooms in the house, it’s as though he gets conflicted and will lay in the middle of the hallway to split the difference.
He loves to be carried around as he lays straddled across your shoulders.
He used to always meet us at the door when we came home, and we would have conversations with him where we would ask him things like how his day was and what he got up to, and he would loudly meow between each question. But now he’s mostly deaf, so he is usually asleep in one of his many cardboard boxes around the house when we get home.
He’s a terrible hunter, but he usually does a pretty good job of at least finding a bug on the floor. He’ll sit there and stare intently at it (until he loses interest and walks away), which is our cue that there’s something there.
He’s a special little dude, and we love him to pieces.

Democrats flip county Donald Trump won by nearly 60 points
I think some helpful context here is that Beshear got 44.9% of the vote in this same county in the 2019 race that he narrowly won. This time he got 52.3%.
In the popular vote, Beshear received 2,626 votes in that county in 2019 and 2,205 votes this election.
