The comparison is more apt than appears at first glance. The debates continue, but attacks by the Sea Peoples, or war, is only one of the hypothesized contributers to the collapse. Others include: a pandemic, environmental shifts caused by a volcanic eruption, and drought.

No, all religion is dumb.

I mean I’m already kind of doing this reading super old books but 10k isn’t worth the hassle if I find myself in the mood for something else.

Have a problem? Go into therapy. Now you have two problems!

What does this have to do with technology?

The fork even has support for swipe, autocorrect, word prediction, clipboard management, etc, and is way more lightweight than Gboard and the rest. Zero reason to use anything else at the moment.

No. Chromium is far, far from being free of Google’s clutches. If you must use chromium-based browsers (you really shouldn’t) you can try ungoogled-chromium.

Because they were brought to court to give info for a case and they proved they didn’t have any.

I don’t need it to be super durable but the plastic screen is still a dealbreaker for me. Wonder when we’ll get something better that’s foldable.
