When it’s not E2EE, maybe they are right. What’s the point of encrypting something that gets decrypted midway by an organization with hundreds of employees, many of them with access, not even talking about law enforcement and accidental criminals.

EDIT: I mean, illusion of security may be sometimes worse that lack of that little security which comes with it. Everything is complex.

Egyptian pyramids and space shuttles were too made by individuals. What’s your point?

Do you personally use Haiku, AROS, something else, asking this? At least FreeBSD, ha-ha.

But the freaking premier got crucified simply for pointing that out.

Which is the same as demand.

Really I covered everything you just asked.

I’m sad to say it, but you have reading comprehension problems. Maybe that’s my bad English, but not sure I could take complaints in that regard seriously here.

Do you choose market mechanisms everywhere or only where it gives your side advantage?

Also one would think that job requirements are a result of market demand too.

And if it’s state jobs, then that’s because people you work for speak English or French, and you have to be able to communicate with them in either English or French if they so desire.

I’m more of the “99% assimilated” kind, interested in learning what didn’t go down to me in more natural way.

Well, my paternal line ancestors are from a group of villages, naturally wiped out in , the amount of people with roots from the same place on the whole planet is maybe just a bit more than the amount of <“titular” nation> living there.

The dialect is dead (there are some traits of it and examples documented).

Every time I abstractly or not talk about that with most people, I encounter “international law” bullshit, something about “recognized borders” and “rule of law” or simply approval of how it is and general attitude as if I were the problem and not <“titular” nation’s state>.

Yes, of course that place doesn’t belong to that state and any kind of violence is justified against it and its supporters, anytime, anyplace. A lot of people having nothing to do with that state feel indignation hearing\reading about that, towards me.

Or my side, which is supposedly doing not so bad at preserving its culture, which has its own state, only that state sucks and most of the organizations about that ethnicity suck, because they serve that state.

So I almost feel as if that state and its works replacing the perception of that culture I like were a continuation of genocide sometimes.

He has a point that if he has to learn your language, it makes sense that you have to learn his. You are not better or worse.

Also from my little understanding of French there are no insults there.

Well, in ex-USSR there is 1C which in syntax is a bit like Pascal with Russian instead of English.

Also plenty of other languages using Russian keywords, but for the purpose of your question - I think it’s safe to assume that anything relevant uses English.

Disco Elysium:

Ah. I had KotORII:TSL in the same role. While the game you’re talking about was apparently that for one girl with which we didn’t understand each other. But the game is good and I think it did help me get to the better condition I’m in now.

Well, there are many interesting things in antique literature in general. This particular text is, I agree, amazing, but it’s a piece of religious writing.

Centuries I-IV AD were a more pluralistic time for the Mediterranean.

For me personally reading Lucian of Samosata was such a change.

I was just trying to feel the Force and gradually jump from bigger heights. Haven’t broken anything, so it was more or less good sport. But taught me wrong things about physical strength etc.

You just need practice ; I, for one, just considered it a given that you have to gradually raise the strength of your punch at a fscking concrete wall painted over, and then it’ll start slowly crumbling in the place you hit, like in those vids about Shaolin monks. Didn’t work, but aside from pain, no problems with my fists.
