Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

Exactly.

But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?

Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.

I remember learning to play pitch-and-putt (simplified golf) and when I finally got the swing right, there was a “thunk” sound twice or three times as my ball bounced from tree trunk to tree trunk. It was like some kind of nature-based pinball. I couldn’t believe it. When the disbelief passed later that day I couldn’t stop laughing.

Some very informative and leading articles pop up from that site. I learned a lot about indigenous issues (inflicted by settlers) there. Was really surprised given the associations I have with the brand.

I don’t understand how the eye movement camera fits in to the experiment. I was wondering if any stories, even audiobooks and TV series have the same effect but I’m no clearer from reading the article.

It is. I’d love to see it without the text too.

I’ve been seriously thinking of building an LGBT bar. Does anyone know where I can purchase gay bricks?

Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?

I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.

But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.

Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.

All I know about Quebec is that they have several First Nations there. Why is a foreign language be mandated over those?

Thanks for explaining. It’s all clear now. Great news.

Household waste in a commercial building? I’m totally confused.

Good for them. If it works, it will have to be widely adopted. I can say that phones have taken a degree of the joy out of parenting when there are no societal boundaries.

I never made the connection, but now that you say it, it seems obvious.

According to @postcard64 below I’m oversimplifying things (at minimum).
