    Not directly related, might even remove in an hour, but If anyone is interested and has the knowledge, I've been tinkering on something similar to the Steam Machine w/ a custom OS and distributed modular components, and thinking about bringing more people onboard since it isn't just for gaming - message me on here.

    should mention: I am a roboticst, hardware and systems engineer, and the systems automation architect for walmart corporate, so not a teenager with a "world changing!!!! idea" lol

    Less ethics, more they don't want to be sued into the ground for defamation even if it is confirmed and true.

    They want to ignore it, as they are worried that it will destroy their 'movement' - even though it already is. But, and this is the important part, average day to day people do care if their leader is a confirmed pedophile, conservatives who aren't worried about movements and people who just vote based on vibes - and they are the ones who hold the most power.

    They look remarkably more 'toy-like' in this one than all the others.

    No re-imagining or rendition of Alice in Wonderland will beat Alice (2009) , but I suppose they can try... Not nearly as good as Tin Man (2007) was, but close enough.

    Since its hidden in the paragraph: Download DavX5 here. Open source, great utility, bare bones (thats a positive!) and just gets the job done. In fact, I would say its better than how Android/Google handle user accounts natively. If you use a custom calendar provider, contacts provider, or any of that (there is a great FOSS todo app that it natively syncs with any calendary, basically a superpowered ToDoist) - make sure you use it.

    Edit: It will allow you to use any calendar/contacts apps on your phone, doesn't require you to use theirs (they don't even have one, they just handle the syncing).

    I have found great success for Zoho for my company and have used them for several of those over the last ten or more years. Obviously not E2EE, but still decent and they have global corporate(ie, security and privacy) usage.

    Calendar, docs, drive, etc. Only used their Mail+Cal+Contacts though, but its solid, has great security features, and most importantly reliable.

    I think I pay $15 a year per person on that (I don't need their drive storage).

    But, they also have a 'forever free' plan, which they've had for a decade, and that allows five users, five gigs of mail storage, and a single custom domain, for free. So if you have only one custom domain, its a great deal, even if you have twenty domains, $15 a year is a fantastic deal.

    Edit: They also have the best MX record setup wizard I've ever seen on a site, if you use any other top 20 domain registrars or DNS handlers, its typically one click to set any record from their interface.

    Edit 2: They also support catch all emails! So anything-you-want@here.com will always be sent to your primary email, and they support an unlimited number of aliases for sending and receiving at that.

    Keep in mind thar you can't use any other clients, other than theirs, to access your data (no third party mail apps or calendars iirc)

    Never thought about it, but you could even set tracks on a map and allow for specific grazing period on specific areas, or even temporary hold areas while you are doing other things - such as using heavy machinery.

    I was worried that this would cause injury or harm to the animals (such as shock collars and invisible fences for dogs in the United States), but appears it doesn't:

    When an animal approaches the virtual border, the collar emits a gentle audio cue, followed by a mild pulse if the warning is ignored

    Nofence says animals typically learn to respond to the audio cue within a few days, where they are trained with a physical fence within which virtual boundaries are set.

    I have watched the trailer a few times now, and I have to say this is one of the more interesting and exciting 'dungeon crawler' revival games I've seen as of late.
