It's definitely a drag battling cars most of the time. The path optimisation that forces them to all choose 1 lane when 3 lanes are available and go to the same direction is so annoying.

I would like a better alternative but eh, it's just spare time fun thing

Excellent. I am looking for better strategies for Cities Skylines

Small datapoint for me as a non-business entity going the opposite direction. I sell vinyls on Discogs and the last time someone purchased a vinyl from the US I was told I am classed as a business so I had to sign up with some private business which was a customs clearing company. They charged a flat fee and then a daily $1 charge for the entire time the parcel was in flight. I also had to do extremely strict business identity verification, which I obviously couldn't do as an individual.

It's such a mess of a situation.

I don't understand why anyone takes this person seriously. He fell ass-backwards into a prominent company, got demoted after proving incapable of being the CTO, and then seemingly got promptly off-boarded after the acquisition and now just has a developer relations job. Not to denigrate that role, but it doesn't exactly confer authority for this to be the trajectory of your career.

It's fascinating to look up the etymology of words and see how it looks in Dutch. I find Afrikaans to be much closer to English than Dutch or German (which I previously learned). Do you find Afrikaans comprehensible?

Sorry, I missed your reply. It's a very small project by a friend of mine so I'm not surprised it doesn't get a lot of love: http://github.com/brycehans/toolgate

I really appreciate the flexibility of the rules. For example I have it auto-approve `aws` cli operations when using a read-only --profile flag, but have it always ask for a privileged profile

Maybe so, but I just assume anything I write is being read by multiple different parties anyway. I use Signal too, but I don't trust that either. Face-to-face communication (inside my portable lead chamber) is the way to go

More people leads to more competition in the job market and housing space. There's no universe in which they are not linked. It's a natural consequence of near 20% population growth in a decade

My father-in-law was saying the same thing about Gemini 12 months ago regarding the Afrikaans speech. I've tried a few of them in my studies but none of them could seem to switch between English/Afrikaans except Gemini. It's an interesting time to be a language learner

As jy wil, ons kan saam praat op Discord :) maar my Afrikaans is sleg

An additional factor for me leaving was the board member (Rosemary Leith) who was part of the WEF. It seems to me that Proton has been co-opted

I also made this switch a year ago, in part because I'm Australian and so is Fastmail. I miss some of the Proton bells and whistles, and my visionary plan had some great inclusions, but Fastmail is great. I just use the web app on my graphene phone and it works fine

Very nice idea, especially considering the huge price tag on Super Grok Heavy and Cursor Ultra. I'll be monitoring the situation

I don't even have a downvote button. Is it "flag"?

I did biomed in uni 10 years ago and they did indeed speak about this as a risk factor in my clinical microbiology class.

I assumed that was what gave my dad throat cancer because he was always gulping down hot coffee but the cause was something else in the end.
