In the USA there are almost 650 thousands patent applications being filled (of which almost 400 thousands are getting grants) each year. So while technically what you wrote is correct, in practical terms finding an interesting patent is certainly not a trivial task for a journalist.

That's a serious accusation. Got anything to back it up?

I'm working on a new major mode with Tree Sitter highlighting and articles by Mickey Petersen are incredibly useful.

There is https://nebula.tv/ which hosts most of my favorite creators without all the YT crap. I am very happy to pay them.

After reading the post I don't see how it gives any indication that Mozilla is trying to censor anyone. Mostly it argues for more transparency. It's certainly worth reading.

It's not easy and your friends might be right, but perhaps you are focusing on the wrong thing in their advice. Don't "hit on them". Be present, attentive and confident. If a girl likes you, talk with her more about your shared interests. Try to arrange group activities, where you can be together with other people. Build relation and trust over time. And remember that being confident means being ready to take "no" for an answer without making a big fuss about it. Good luck!

Blocking is good option to improve individual experience, but a flood of low effort, spammy content from bots makes a very bad first impression on newcomers.

That's grossly exaggerated. I live in western Europe and never once used WhatsApp. There are very occasional frictions, like people being surprised I don't have it. Then when I explain that it's operated by Facebook, they are also surprised and sometimes are willing to quit themselves.

What's the irony? It's the Apple users that the EU is protecting here.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. It's not made BCE though. It's from 11th century CE. The Wikipedia page seems inconsistent between 11th and 12th centuries, but it's certainly not three thousand years old :-) See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppland_Runic_Inscription_871 for more info.

 

From the 1950s to the 1980s, individuals and companies alike conceptualized and presented their captivating visions of the kitchen of the future.

So Google have strong leverage over them, and the more of other revenue Mozilla have, the lesser is Google's leverage.

 

Perhaps, in actual fact, posturing on end-to-end encryption is the fig leaf for a lack of investment in education, policing and social care. After all, talk is cheap.
