Being banned from Mozilla is actually sort of endorsement for me :)

I was worried this project is just repacked Thunderbird, with malware. This makes it more legit.

Also some people do not like politics in Mozilla Corp. Firefox is supposed to be privacy focused, yet it uses Google for search, CEO salaries, scraping promising tech etc...

I use Brave browser, created by a guy who was also banned from Mozilla, it works great.

Older kernels may not work with newest AMD cards. Some old Debian stable, CentOS and so on. RX 480 is sure bet!

I just download content locally. If I see interesting channel, I grab it all, and watch latter on my phone. Easy with termux, ytbdl and 1TB sd card :)

RX470 and RX480 are quite nice cards for Linux workstation. Support for 5 displays, and most importantly great opensource drivers. I am buying couple...

I think OP meant problems with setting up payment method, dealing with credit card etc.. Most of the world population can not even pay with usual visa card.

I program in Java, C++, Go, PHP and Ruby. For me Intellij Idea (and related products) is a lifesaver. Without it, I would lost most energy on slightly different ways to compile, test, deploy... With Idea most things are uniform, and programming language is just slightly different flavour.

》It's got nothing to do with that correlation

Are you serious?

It got everything to do with it! If degree does not give high salary, there is no reason to invest into university education!

Nobody wants to stay poor, just to support American universities!

American education makes a sense for professions with certification like medical doctor, otherwise it is just a scam!

Is there actually a correlation between university education, intelligence and high income?

Or is it just a scam on young people?

Last time I checked most lessons were freely available on internet, without paying $200000 gate keeping fee!

Good! They will not get 40 years into unpaidable loans! If university education is such a goldmine, any bank will loan them, it must be like 20% per annum profit!!!

I never understood why children should be able to give a consent to such loans. There is a young and naive person, that can not legally drink, but somehow is able to understand complicated legal contracts!

Make student loans part of personal bankruptcy, and see what happens!

Good for him he got Lithuanian citizenship. Many "Russians" born in Lithuania never got that privilege!

Edit: not true, see comments bellow

You could propably return it as defective. At least in EU there is a regulation about maximal standby power usage.

About 10% of Americans are functionaly iliterate, like they have troubles to understand and form long sentences in writting. Learning second method seems wasteful in that case.

And yes, I know only one way to add, multiply and so on. Also I can only program in one way (in very specific language and heavy IDE support).
