Isn't it /mæn/ and /mɛn/, /ˈwʊm ən/ and /ˈwɪm ɪn/? Can be a bit hard to differenciate in the first case, but the second pair is very different.

That's what private communities are for. Calling people names while perfectly aware of it leaking into the public feed is a provocation. And it worked.

The problem is, in my opinion, that they post memes that are clerly provoking non-vegan people for discussion.

It's weird to jump under a "here are my 15 ways of cooking asparagus" post with anti-vegan content. But "look at these carnovorous clowns" memes are clearly offensive.

As some people poined out, I was talking about VK. A Russian social network that ended up in the claws of Russian government, which in turn ended up in massive political repressions of it's userbase for posting "wrong" things.

He then made Telegram and used Russian government's attempts to block it as a PR campaign. I guess that's what made it so appealing at first, but now French government stepped in and we are going all over again.

The guy has a history of making something that looks good and then selling it to governments. I'm surprised people took the bait for the second time.

That's some good data! I'm mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?

People who promote crypto are usually scammers (they also usually promote their own currency), but in general it's a very useful tool. Considering you have to give up an arm and a leg to use SWIFT nowadays, crypto offers a fast and cheap way to pay someone across the border. The price is that you need to know a thing or two about the technology, else you'll pay the same or even more than with traditional methods.

Some people have to use their stuff for a variety of reasons, don't be a dick about it.

They are probably just using your IP address to determine the location. That will show the location of your ISP, not your location. That's not much more info than any other server gets when you are connecting to it. Also does not require Mozilla to send any geolocation data.

It's just a domain name, it has nothing to do with sites being safe. Just as any other site, they may be malicious, may be not, depends on who runs the site.
