A new rat pope was elected.

This doesn't hold true for every country though. So a lot of people are better off buying some third party controller or not giving any money to Nintendo at all.

So there is now a C-Button which opens the new Game Chat, which requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This means if you don't pay for their subscription, you will have a dedicated button on your controller which will most likely open a popup that tells you to buy their subscription. Great, I love it...

For Android they have reproducible builds to verify that they are using the source code from their public repo for the app distributed via Google's Play Store.

Regarding the server software, it's not that easy but because of the Signal protocol you can be sure that messages are e2e encrypted and authenticated. They also have the sealed sender feature which hides the identity of the sender. So it shouldn't really matter what software a server is using.

I once fixed a UI bug in the Desktop version of Bitwarden since it annoyed me so much over the timespan of a year. I had to change one single line because the problem was that a curly bracket was misplaced. My MR got multiple positive reactions and even on the Bitwarden forum people were thanking me for my contribution. They never merged my fix because they "fixed it themselves in a newer build" that came out 3 months later.

I'm still pissed about that.

I can somewhat confirm your first statement.

I began my Master's study a few years ago and had to retake a course since I've switched to another university and they claimed that my Bachelor's study wasn't equal to theirs. A female friend of mine did the exact same and had exactly the same education as me. The dean of our new study wrote her personally and said that he will make sure that she doesn't have to retake any courses if she starts studying here. I'm still kinda pissed about that tbh.

How about a fair wage?

When you get older, you will also quickly realize that Hoodies aren't safe either...

I gifted a T-Shirt with this image printed on it to a friend of mine. He allegedly wears it from time to time when he's playing DnD with friends.
