The linked site actually says "North America", which has been incorrectly editorialized to "USA". This is misleading because their announcement appears intended to also cover Canada.

“pass” in this context refers to a GPG-encrypted file based password manager: https://www.passwordstore.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_(software) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass.

“pass” itself can be used in many contexts, but is primarily a desktop command-line tool. “Password Store” is the Android client for it.

Thank you!

Do you have any suggestions for how the formatting could be better? Is there something outright broken in how it displays in your browser, or is something simply sub-optimal?

I'll take any chance I can get to link to this wonderfully sprawling 1996 article from novelist Neal Stephenson about the laying and landing of transoceanic cables: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/

Yes it's long, but it's so worth it!
