Well if it doesn't happen again, that means Linux isn't doing well.

I'm happy to see improvements to Drive even if I don't use Mac.

I would love to share photo albums with friends from Proton, many of which use Signal and would find Proton compelling, but I cant.

I recently needed to make a shared account with my parents and we went with Google rather than Proton because they don't have spreadsheets yet.

No, more like the US's revolution likely wouldn't have succeeded if it wasn't for the French support.

France's revolution attempted for a democracy but that got twisted and they got Emperor Napoleon, so then they had to fight again.

Edit: And today the US and France are again fighting similar political battles so it feels like the strong support from a French person has a long history.

The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.

Wow, organic maps is really nice, seems like a much cleaner user interface than OsmAnd, whereas OsmAnd has more options.

Huh, works fine for me for nearly a year now. The only thing I still use google calendar for are some shared calendars.

After proton adds Standard Notes. I'm hoping google maps will be the last product I'm tied to.

 

I want to know if the car I'm renting comes with liability insurance. I just want to be sure that if I am at fault in an accident, that the other car will be covered. Lets try to ignore any personal car insurance policy and let's ignore collision insurance for now.

I am under the impression that in many countries they are required to give you liability insurance when you rent the car, but I don't have a good source. Many articles have mixed information.

For the US, this article says:

For a registered car rental company in the US, they must provide a minimum level of liability protection for cars they rent out.

But this other article says

In the U.S., every state requires a minimum amount of liability insurance on car insurance policies, so you may already have liability coverage through your personal auto insurance.

Which sounds like in the US your personal insurance is all you have.

I think I'm the 11th comment. Not sure how real time the comments propagated to the other servers though.

 

How hard is it to fly in Switzerland with FAA certificates? Anyone have experience with "Validation of a foreign license" which is good for 1 year or "Conversion of a BASA FAA licence to EASA Part-FCL PPL Licence"
