Don’t feel too bad about it, remarkably few countries really do have democracy (even though many have more of it than the US).

This seems like a pretty obvious one: We have democracy.

Why do people find it acceptable to use the bizarre word “sideloading” for the fundamental operation of “installing one’s own software on one’s own device”?

I read weekly newspapers. I used to read Morgenbladet, now I read NZZ am Sonntag, and there are many others to choose from, but getting away from trying to find something engaging each day solves a lot of problems.

Proton does not provide e2e encrypted email outside its own environment (so any mail within proton will be encrypted but not outside - and it’s far harder to do the later due to point one)

This is not quite accurate, Proton quite nicely exchanges PGP encrypted mail with people who have PGP but not Proton.

Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

From my experience travelling the world, that’s not particularly uncommon. The US doesn’t have to feel singled out for having such people on their bank notes.
