Or serve a gzip bomb (is that possible?)

No. First you always say “it’s so easy to build a PC, you’re dumb to get a console for gaming”. Pay attention to always say this, even in unrelated circumstances

Then, after years of saying that “it’s so easy”, when your friend finally says “I finally want to build a PC, can you help me?”, you drop this bomb

There was a meme about a landlord complaining on Facebook that nobody tipped them

During dating: “and then i spent $300k to buy this monkey jpg…”

I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that “blur” is crashing the price of that jpg

It looks like that there’s a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there’s dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.

What a waste of compute energy

But it also come with extra privileges like going to exclusive parties where powerful UV lights can cause eye damage

I’m kinda hoping it was just that a state sponsored attacker showed up on their door and said “include this snippet or else…” otherwise it’s terrifying thinking of someone planning some long con like this

We are all relying on the honesty of a few overworked volunteers…

From that post, commits set to UTC+0800 and activity between UTC 12-17 indicate that the programmer wasn’t operating from California but from another country starting with C. The name is also another hint.

Unrelated, I really like the idea that the author of that blog post to place the favicon near each link

From the website:

With Midori Browser you can browse the web with complete confidence and an advanced tracking blocker.

Then the next paragraph states:

Cryptotoken: To reward our users, we are organizing an initiative a Token to give users to use our products and services without tracking.

So it blocks tracking but adds more tracking, so users can buy some shitcoin to remove the tracking?

I’m glad that their forks of simple mobile tools didn’t gain traction, then

I’m disappointed, I expected a meme instead it’s spam 😢😢😢😢😭😭

It’s available on an unofficial repository that can be optionally added to fdroid, it’s not available on fdroid

On mobile you’re forced to use their “open source” app that is only available on the closed source app stores and not on fdroid because it uses Google push services

This post is ironic, but the united states by showing their muscles and forbidding Huawei to use newer arm CPU designs or x86 chips without a specific export license, let the Chinese government to create a secret multibillion fund for RISC -V development

My iMac on debian does the same, black screen on boot

Still, if an user prefers the convenience of using any client instead of e2e, could enable it in a setting. Maybe the user subscribed because they liked the interface and the overall features of the plan, and not because of the encrypted email solution and just wants to add the account on the mobile client instead of a dedicated app

Being closed like this IMHO is just to increase user retention

The bridge Is “open” but somehow it works only for premium users.

It just opens the web app

It’s worse than you thought.

The webmail provider released a dedicated browser that can only open the webmail and called it a “desktop” app.

Additionally, they don’t support IMAP. There’s an app to run on your computer that becomes a bridge. The proprietary protocol is translated to IMAP. You can’t use your favorite client if your operating system can’t run that bridge and you’re not a premium user because for “reasons” only premium users can run that local bridge
