A few times a year, I pick up an old movie or book and have a watch/read through again.

1-2 decades later, the same material can have a lot different impact.

I'm glad I have the physical media, too. I can be sure Disney or Amazon or whoever didn't go changing the story lol

@BrodieOnLinux

My teenage sister who recently got an old Surface Pro, didn't like Windows at all. Even though it has decent specs the performance and touch experience is horrible.

Earlier she was using MacOS and before that she had a thinkpad with Fedora Gnome. She never said anything about the OS.

Windows gets in the way so much that you realize how invisible the other options are.

New: Proton is challenging Karnataka HC's April 29 blocking order against Proton Mail on 3 grounds:

1. Proton gave information about one email address to Swiss justice ministry in February 2025 on receiving a validated request.
2. Section 69A and Rule 10 of 2009 Blocking Rules do not empower the court to pass a blocking order.
3. Proton was not served notice so it could not represent itself.
