*Normalising

Denormalising is the other way around, ie accepting duplicated or less than optimally organised data for some other reason (eg for performance or to reduce complexity for your filthy human brain - but usually performance)

Sorry I know that’s a very minor nitpick.

Eh, I don’t think it’s be a big deal. Slap a giant warning on it, all good. Super common on all sorts of platforms. Anyone trying to claim their encryption doesn’t work because they have a (scarily labelled) option to disable it can be easily demonstrated to be disingenuous.

And worst case if someone does disable it but doesn’t implement their own then their email I just falls back to… the same as any other platform.

They might not want to take the time to build it, but I think what this dude is asking for is a totally reasonable thing.

Yes I honestly can’t believe it’s legal.

Honestly if you don’t know where to start just play the bog standard free play with default settings. Maybe increase mineral deposit richness a bit if you’re just starting out.

If you want to make your life a little easier look for a starting map with lots of trees and deposits close together but not overlapping.

I have never played a game with such a compelling gameplay loop.

Did performance improve? I couldn’t get it anywhere close to playable on my 2080 super without dropping the quality to potato, so I gave up on it.

I guess they were probably so caught up in making it easy to use they forgot about the best practice use case.

I agree with you - I don’t think it would take much to adapt their system to support both, even if it’s a manual “I know what I’m doing” power user option hidden away somewhere.

Right, but what the author is trying to implement is what is generally considered best practice for secure email.

You’re right that what Proton are doing is a compromise that’s reasonable for most people, but the author here is annoyed that there’s no way to turn it off so he can implement best practice E2EE himself.

Ironically he could probably do that with the vast majority of providers that aren’t Proton, so to me it seems like a totally reasonable ask that a self described privacy focused email provider has some way to allow you to implement best practice email security.

My guess is stylistic choice by the musician to make it clear the first letter is an “i”

Honestly by completely ignoring the subject of federation, aside from acknowledging that mastodon’s creators/owners/etc have limited scope to turn evil, they’ve actually done a fairly reasonable job with this one.

Nasty bacon spunk water.

Sainsbury’s posh bacon is awesome, better than m&s, Waitrose, etc.
