Thanks for asking! Dying is the solution for everything. It’s the best solution. Humans must die for a variety of reasons.

I envy you, because my 2019 MBPro has fans always spinning and it seems slow and bugged, especially with the latest macOS.

Maybe I should just try formatting, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.

+1 for Fossify, great set of apps.

Only some countries need VPNs. If your country doesn’t care about piracy (e.g. Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe) just don’t bother paying for a VPN.

Is it stable yet to use it? I’ve seen it and it looks promising, but it’s also under active development.

Add a private torrent indexer and/or Usenet and it’s perfection.

PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It’s like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that’s it.

You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that’s always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.

The good thing about using your own domain is that you’re not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.

In Italian, butterfly, bowtie and the kind of pasta are all called “farfalla”. Which has come first, though?

Sommerfugl (bird of summer) in Danish :)

And still uses the old meme faces.

But there’s no real alternative to YouTube.

And no, using a proxy service is like using YouTube itself with uBlock or whatever.

SponsorBlock also comes by default on SmartTubeNext for Android TV.

Pro-tip: apps can’t ask for leaving a review twice, so if you press yes and then go immediately back, it will never ask again.

And SmartTubeNext if you have an Android TV.

You just have to do it once in a few months, and recent versions made it way easier to just download the correct apk and patch it quickly.

I don’t think autorun worked with floppy disks, only with CDs and USB units.

So similar yet so different :)

Yes, neutral and masculine were similar, and they just collapsed into one.

I speak Italian, which works similarly to French. The male form is called the “non-marked” form, while the female is “marked”. It means that if you use the female form, you’re actually talking about women, otherwise it may be anyone. So, the real inclusive form would be to just use the male form.

It’s because both Italian and French come from Latin. Latin used to have three forms: male, female and neutral. The neutral and male form were very similar, so during the evolution from Latin to modern languages, the two forms collapsed into one.

Same in Italian.

Italian is heavily gendered, even inanimate objects have genders. A chair? It’s a female. A door? It’s a male.

It’s not easy to modify a language; some people on the internet are trying using stars and other non-letters, but the result is ridiculous and nobody actually speaks like that in real life.
