Totally agree. Like most “rules”, it just needs treating with nuance and context.

I don’t code in C++ (although I’m somewhat familiar with the syntax). My understanding is the header files should only contain prototypes / signatures, not actual implementations. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Have I misunderstood, or is that part of the joke?

Yes, I don’t know how I forgot to mention that Iceshrimp and Sharkey both have Mastodon compatible APIs - so all the same apps work (mostly).

Based on your requirements, I would suggest looking at one of the Firefish / CalcKey forks. They are ideal for single user or small instances and they support s3 compatible object storage out of the box.

I would recommend looking at Sharkey or Iceshrimp. Both are under very active development and have very responsive developers if you need support.

If you would like to check out an example, Ruud (of mastodon.world and lemmy.world) set up an instance of Sharkey at (you guessed it) sharkey.world.

Another vote here for Fastmail. I also like Posteo, Mailbox and mxroute, but these are not as fully featured - which may be perfect for you if you’re after email only. What I really like about Fastmail is that on top of being a customer-focused business (rather than a customer is the product business), they offer a really snappy web interface with excellent search - and they are extremely compliant with email standards, building everything on JMAP.

I do not like Proton or Tutanota. I have used both, including using Proton as my main email account for the past two years. I do believe they are probably the best when it comes to encryption and privacy standards, but for me it’s at far too much cost. Encrypted email is almost pointless - the moment you email someone who isn’t using a Proton (or PGP encryption), then the encryption is lost. Or even if they just forward an email to someone outside your chain. I would argue that if you need to send a message to someone with enough sensitivity to require this level of encryption, email is the wrong choice of protocol.

For all that Proton offer, it results in broken email standard compliance, awful search capability and reliance on bridge software or being limited to their WebUI and apps. And it’s a shame, because I really like the company and their mission.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I enjoyed Heroes for what it was.

I agree that Sonic Battle was one of, if not the best entries for character building. And SB is, in fact, my all-time favourite Sonic game. Breaks me that I may never see a sequel / reboot, and get to relive Emerl’s story.

I’d honestly be happier with no guns. Not sure if that was their greatest move, in their effort to make him ‘edgier’. He was perfect in SA2 and Sonic Heroes.

I am very excited for this. One part of my childhood that I’ve never been able to let go of is my total fanboy-ism of Shadow.

The same reason a lot of companies support a community edition. It means that people can use, learn and become experienced with the product without forking over a tonne of money.

This results in a larger number of developers, add-ons and community surrounding the product.

This makes it a more appealing product for companies looking to build a business using it.

It’s the same reason you can use AWS for free, get some JetBrains products for free and often find community editions for similar products to Magento.

As in, I have Nginx running on my server and use it as a reverse proxy to access a variety of apps and services. But can’t get it playing nicely with AIO Nextcloud.

Yes I’ve not managed to solve this yet. For me, it’s hosting AIO behind my existing Nginx.

Yes. I get the idea, because federating with them is the “negative” option, but honestly it’s just confusing and overly opinionated for an infographic.

It is fantastic. The most polished and stylish monster tamer I’ve played to date. I strongly recommend it to any fan of the genre.

I am shocked by how well your latter example emphasizes an extremely large quantity of tacos.

I vote for that one.

Who are you with? I get 150 symmetrical for £25 with Swish.

I enjoyed reading this so much. I am ashamed that I am British and a big fan of video games, but never knew that Rare was a British company. I’d never even heard of Ultimate, but I’ll put that down to age.

Rare made some of my absolute childhood favourites. It’s a shame they fell from glory, but it’s good to remember that a company is only as good as it’s people - and people move on - much like the previously adored Blizzard.

I’d rather not dox myself. They’re not a huge company. I promise you that this is not something uncommon.

Sorry, I thought the rest was implied. Because the company also sold user data (and stated that in the T&C’s). The industry is very aware of email aliases and so it is more valuable to have sanitized data.

I used to work for a product comparison company (think finance and insurance). We used to save the email address as typed for login and also with everything after the plus removed separately. For Gmail and certain other large providers, we also stripped out any dots e.g. a.j.uniquename@gmail.com became ajuniquename@gmail.com.

Took me far too long to realize that there is a kids version of the kindle that you were talking about, and that you weren’t just referring to other users as kids.
