I know I am!

I second this. My family uses ProtonVPN and their own app is so clean and simple that even my mother can use it.

They support OpenVPN for when that's needed.

I worked freelance for a number of years and I found that I am the same as you; I miss the social interactions.

Since I had no options to work in an office - I didn't have one - I decided to start working in a co-working space.

The co-working space cost me money I would otherwise not have spent but the impact on my mental health was great. I got a regular group of "colleagues" and it clearly divided my home life and work life.

I would definitely recommend it once we're all out of lockdown.

I can't agree more. Outside of the US you're interaction with ESL speakers varies wildly but it's a pretty essential skill nowadays.

I'm the only native English speaker at my company. Some folks speak perfectly, others don't.

The people in this video spoke though, even if they did have a fairly heavy accent.

Burner phones are not available/legal in all parts of the world. It's not uncommon In Europe for phone numbers to be registered to a person using their national ID number.

Yes. It's rules by the God Emperor Money II.

The issue here is that the vast majority of American articles make no effort to convey the fact they are talking about America.

The internet is a _global_ space and there's very little effort required to make the distinction.

I would argue that the writers of these articles are the ones not understanding the "context of oneself" given how they think their readership is entirely American.

The same in Zurich would cost 10-15USD. Some places would do a plate for 15USD.

Prices really do vary wildly across Europe.

A few reasons:

One: the shop often wouldn't let you buy up their whole supply

Two: there are likely other restaurants in the area, so that's 20*N boxes a day

Three: lots of countries have resale laws that prevent this

Four: that's a lot of time to spend every day when you can get a single delivery every week / two weeks instead

Five: the delivery often includes the collection of the used bottles (when using glass) and that otherwise can cost a lot

This is the big issue with ad networks (well, after the tracking).

I used to read a lot of geeky blogs when I was younger and they would advertise stuff that I thought was cool - gadgets and doodads mostly.

I went back to a couple of those sites this year and the ads are now mostly for single women in my area -_-

We use it at my place if work, for some things. To be honest it's hit and miss whether our clients do - I'd say about 40% do.

I was pretty surprised to see our latest client uses it. I won't name any names but they're a HUGE teleco in Europe and operate in many countries.

Looks like it's growing in popularity.

There are some. It's had something of a resurgence in the last couple of years and a few new gopherholes have opened up.

You can peruse gopherspace via the overbite gateway, and the big gopher search engine, Veronica, is still up and running.

Take a look! :)
