I get them maybe 3-4 times a year. So, not _never_ but not a big problem either

This would be an enormous invasion of privacy. Other countries have a lot less issues with spam calls without these measures

To add another datapoint: My weightlifting app used to be a one-time purchase a few years ago and have since switched to subscriptions. As a result I have received a lifetime pro license. They’re still selling lifetime licenses for almost a hundred dollars (yearly subscription is ~$30). I still have access to every pro feature. Not bad for a $5 I got ten years ago

Lightning has the same issue sadly

Interrail also includes a travel day to and from your home country though

They paywalled the article, that’s why you can only see the first paragraph

I went on my first Interrail trip last year. It was a single country trip though. Can absolutely recommend it!

> When one of Google's own engineers went public saying LaMDA was disturbingly capable, he was dismissed as confused and then fired.

Blake Lemoine claimed that it was sentient. That's quite a stretch from "disturbingly capable"

Just in case you're still following this thread: I just came across "Rabbit Junk" and they're exactly what I was looking for

Mainly, so that I don't have my games spread out over too many platforms :)

This sounds super interesting, but I'd much rather buy it on GOG than on Steam or itch.io. Any chance on releasing it there?

Thanks for posting this comment. I have the very same itch and now a bunch of music to check out!

I'd say that Threema has better UX than Signal, but both are fine. Neither great, but fine

Orion on iOS is also a Safari skin and supports extensions

That’s also an option. I usually make mine without due to friends with egg allergies and vegan friends

As an emulsifier, allowing the fats and the water to mix better. I _think_ it also might help to trap air bubbles. It helps you turn on the creaminess-knob

the YouTube app does the same. Infuriating. I don't have Chrome installed and it doesn't list the only third party browser I _do_ have installed: Orion

They did end up getting a Macbook. I wouldn't have suggested it, because I don't want to make people switch operating systems if they themselves don't want to. But they threw it into the mix, so I did include it in the list of suggestions
