I'm using custom split keyboard with whatever I program to Blank key and still it never crossed my mind to put any Polish character as single key.

In Poland we informally use combinations and maybe some Poles use letter per key but I my entire live I never met a single person to do so

My argument was that EU can have own phone OS completely unconnected with Google. EU can make own attestation and even ban Google attestation in EU.

We don't need to reinvent the wheel and create completely new OS

Last I checked Android was OSS and there's plenty of clones without any Google BS. Heck I'm using one now

So as an EU citizen and owner of Fairphone 6 with e/OS I'm banned from using apps I should be allowed to use?

As Pole I never had this issue. Why would you even use US Intl keyboard. Even for Arch with install everything manually I haven't any issues

3/4 with Ctrl+S is so me today with my :wa embedded harder in my muscle memory than washing my hands after returning from outside

I don't even think about it. It's autosave without plugin.

Yes, because US CIA and NSA was hacking half of the World. You can learn about this in Cybersecurity books.

This is different situation. Cybersecurity specialists (at least those I found and read) don't consider Mythos as something really powerful. Good tool but not groundbreaking.

Anthropic was playing terror game and burned by it

Migrate to anything else, at this point you could setup your own Bitwarden server.

1password or Bitwarden is great alternative

I don't know any company with below good enough soft which became multibillion-dollar entity. Contrary M$ has started to have issues after recent "improvements"

But it's not good enough. We can see this all over industry where even M$ is producing software so bad even calculator is electron app. Slow, poor quality and for any engineer below acceptable

I still remember times when my work was mostly cleaning and refactoring old code written just to have higher LOC by devs from India paid in cents per line.

They were creating fast like AI and so mich like AI. But they were merely humans. Cleaning this slow and buggy mess took years killed many companies.

Today we have AI and industrial quantity of code without any engineering skill involved in the process

I had a taste of the other side for 2 weeks. I was building wood construction with my uncle who is doing this for 20 years.

I was digging 6 holes in full sun, 26 degree C, transporting 100 kg of dirt in 8 rounds, moved 600 kg of ceramic roof times, worked on rain and had sun burns which I treated 2 days with pain even sleeping

Everything for third of my normal salary
