The Dev confirmed that the trackers which are part of the ads plugin are not loaded when purchasing the app.

I am with you on this one. I do think it would be appropriate to have a disclaimer in the beginning, saying that these words used to have a different meaning, and that in the context of the time they were written they meant different things than today.
There is a German book where this is done that uses the N word for people of color.
This is the more appropriate way of handling this, because i am totally with you: we shouldn't change what was written in books. If we start doing that, we destroy what authors have done, and in a sense we also edit history, because in this case we try to erase that these words were used in another context back in the days.

That's good to know. My main gripe is that changing the email address for every service is so tiring. I've got >200 accounts in my password manager I'd need to change the mail address in, and from previous experience i know that the complicity of this can range from "just go to the settings" over "message the moderators" to "you just can't".
It's shocking how complicated it can be.

No. Because changing email providers is a royal pain in the ass. Changed from Google to Ctemplar and from that to proton a year later after ctemplar went down.
I am not going to use smaller email providers because of that experience, and proton still seems to be the best of both worlds.
I absolutely hate that i am supporting a CEO like that with my money but I'm not in the mood to migrate anytime soon. Took me more than a whole weekend last time.

I am flabbergasted.

Yeah, big ass fans are absolutely awesome. Their biggest over head fan is 30ft (10m) across

Yeah, I have:
27" 1440p in the middle
24" 1080p to the right
21" 1080p on the upper left
22" 1050p 16:10 on the lower left

All from different manufacturers, two of them bought broken and resurrected. I call it the "chaotic evil necromancer setup". None of them in portrait though.

Yes, you are right, but I meant the safety shutoff mechanism. Normally it just cuts the power to all dangerous stuff or brings it to a safe state. Here it's not "cutting the power to the magnet", it's physically releasing the helium and damaging the superconductor in the process.

Yeah, I can imagine someone thinking it's entirely electrical shitting their pants too a sound of Smaug roaring.
