That's not a healty coping mechanism, that's repressing your pain, ignoring the voices in your head that tell you to be sad. The problem with repression is that it works, at the beginning but it will stop working eventually and the more you do it, the worse it's gonna get when everything is collpasing.
Technically a vpn is a private company while ISPs I guess have less freedom over government request compliance. So a vpn would be slightly better but yes, very little added value if it's one of the mainstream ones like nord or tunnelbear
Because streaming over tor is 1) painfully slow and 2) a dick move for the whole network that is very important to others.
VPN don't give a crap about people pirating, and governments probably don't as much as people think (I guess that depends heavily on your country), but if you really want to be safe, go for one of the logless vpn, like mullvad or ivpn.
They probably are, have you seen videos from western tourists in NK? They have super luxurious hotels costantly empty because there are at most a handful of people at one time. They really really want to be perceived as modern and civlized so they throw ludicrous amount of money to their ridicule tourism industry so they hope to attract foreigners. Of course this is done at the expense of their citizens
Windows update: you can no longer move the start button position
people get crazy
Windows update: UI improvement, now you can customize the start button position
In the meanwhile: recall, more spying, microsoft account and internet connection required for installation
Big tech will try and create a cartel to make open source less usable. Google is already pushing Manifest V3 to make development of browsers extensions more difficult, Microsoft could try and use TPM to only allow running "certified" software, and that could be the end of OpenSource as we know it
You said wise things, but I suggest considering expressing your wife these insecurities. Maybe that will help you come to terms with them and you can find some strategies so she can effectively reassure you.
Germany, Russia, Japan and USA all had concentration camps of some sorts and all committed some form of genocide:
Russia towards the eastern Europe population
Japan towards the Chinese
USA it depends if you consider two atomic bombs a genocide, they sure didn't like the Japanese but maybe they are the only ones I would be slightly more hesitant to accuse of genocide
Germany for sure was the most horrible of them mostly for their sistematic and "effective" approach
honorable mentions are Italy in Africa (that failed miserably but definitely had the intent) and the United Kingdom in India
Let's be real, at that time most countries where fucking evil. This is not to say that everyone was equally bad (as I said, Germany was really extra bad, and maybe the Nazi degeneracy helped everyone acknowledge how rotten the world was becoming), but if Russia weren't amongst the "winners", their horrors would spoken aloud a lot more.
On a car without modification, likely not, at least not a decently good model. You could technically install a powerful enough computer in your car to run on it
And a lot of support, especially aimed to the beginner userbase. Most basics questions a first time linux user will encounter are usually answered to by searching the forum
Ideally two sisters that will play and get along with each other.
As others have said, this is a perfect example of things you can't control. I have had many csts in my life, including siblings that got along well, siblings that hated each other, different strays that got along super well and other that just could stand each other.
It depends on the definition of "color". For us humans, in our everyday life, the abstraction we have in our mind is more meaningful than the wavelength, which is what formally defines a color, but not how we cognitively perceive it
They are not talking about the mathematical definition of color, but how the color is represented in the mental image you have in your head. Think about how a blue wavelength becomes a blue "pixel" in your head. It is possible to imagine other colors? If we could see ultraviolet, what color would it be? Is my blue the same as your blue or what my brain interprets as blue is different from what your brain does?
Because flatpak is wasteful on storage space.
Also organicmaps is already available on flathub, so it should be rather trivial to distribute comaps as well, an appimage would be a nicd addition.
