This diet can make them as "well" as they like, it will never be sustainable on a planet of 8 billion people. For beef-eating carnivores to be "well", others will not be able to have that freedom. There just isn't enough land to support it.

This is a delicate message to get across, but it has the benefit of being irrefutable.

Yes but we are also going to have to compromise on issues where a big part of the electorate does not hold doctrinaire progressive values (in Europe this means one thing: immigration). It won't be enough to spam the "stupid" voters with low-brow memes and make fun of "nazis" and hope that non-progressives suddenly become enlightened and see that their values are wrong. There will have to be substantive concessions on policy. Even "stupid" voters know when they're being manipulated.

It's not a constitutional crisis quite yet. The attack on institutions is real but so far it's legal. The plan seems to be to overwhelm and demoralize the defenders so that they don't even fight back. The constitutional crisis comes when and if the government ignores a court order.

In case people are wondering, this was an 80s Moroccan rock band. I'm a fan.

Yes, this is the alternative. And it's a PITA as you say. And might not even be possible in the future, given the trend towards locking down Android and OSs in general.

The people you know are not representative of the world population, and becoming even less so every day.

Obsessing about this increasingly irrelevant figure is pointless. Most people do not even have desktop computers outside work, and the number is going to keep dropping and dropping. The world has moved to mobile.

As Linux nerds who care about the future of free personal computing, we need to reboot our minds and focus on how to get free software onto mobile devices and into mobile applications.

The FOSS Linux stack is going nowhere on mobile (I have speaking rights here: I once bought an Ubuntu phone). Our last best hope is web apps that use web standards. I say we transfer our obsession to that project instead, rather than worry about this distraction of a statistic.

But it's a free Europe-based provider that's not US big tech. A better suggestion?

To be clear, I use a paid service (Mailbox.org) for my main email, as everyone should do.

I usually refer to England as Great Brittan? Is that generally preferred?

No, because it's wrong!

• Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales
• UK = Great Britain + Northern Ireland
• British = citizen of (careful!) UK

You're welcome.

Are there many Spanish speakers in Great Brittan?

Far fewer than there are English speakers.

They are right. Terminology is important in this discussion.

It's considered a good idea because it runs over omnipresent, already-existent, distributed infrastructure. In other words, for this particular chat app, you don't even need to create an account. That is at very least an interesting and noteworthy feature.

some issues with many email providers

This turned out to be the deal-breaker for me. GMX kept locking me out of my account because of the DeltaChat messages. They're (of course) full of cyphertext and to email providers this must look a look like spam.

The open-to-abuse nature of email claims yet another victim.
