A new rat pope was elected.

This doesn't hold true for every country though. So a lot of people are better off buying some third party controller or not giving any money to Nintendo at all.

oh boy, do I have news for you! The Nintendo Switch 2 has a C-Button on its controller which opens their new feature "Game Chat" for which a Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary. This means there is now a dedicated button on the controller, which will open a popup that tells you to buy their subscription!

For Android they have reproducible builds to verify that they are using the source code from their public repo for the app distributed via Google's Play Store.

Regarding the server software, it's not that easy but because of the Signal protocol you can be sure that messages are e2e encrypted and authenticated. They also have the sealed sender feature which hides the identity of the sender. So it shouldn't really matter what software a server is using.

Gotta go birb

I can somewhat confirm your first statement.

I began my Master's study a few years ago and had to retake a course since I've switched to another university and they claimed that my Bachelor's study wasn't equal to theirs. A female friend of mine did the exact same and had exactly the same education as me. The dean of our new study wrote her personally and said that he will make sure that she doesn't have to retake any courses if she starts studying here. I'm still kinda pissed about that tbh.

How can I apply?

When you get older, you will also quickly realize that Hoodies aren't safe either...

I gifted a T-Shirt with this image printed on it to a friend of mine. He allegedly wears it from time to time when he's playing DnD with friends.
