I only know two visble options in terms of credibility and costs per feature ratio: Posteo and mailbox.

Proton should be avoided since their descructive behaviour regarding critique and their baclground. Tutanota is to be avoided since they only support their own client. That leaves us with no flexibility and a smack of something.

Some knowledge about compiler was interesting. The advise to use combined return types (for errors and value) instead of exceptions is ridiculous. Some other points are weird as well. Changing language to avoid null...

This happens unfortunately more often since a year or so with Tor as well. It should not depend on DNS because I use always Mullvad. I guess, it's a weird blocking behaviour.

That's why I switched to brave and use startpage much less

The alien only knows base 4. The astronaut says base 4 and that he uses base 10.

Think about: What is "4" in base 4?
The alien says, it uses base 1 0, which is 1 * 4 + 0 * 1.

So the term "base 10" (in base 4) is the same like "base 4" in base 10.

The alien does not know, what base 4 is, because you cannot count to 4 in base 4.

Not our problem, if the title is rage baiting and missleading.

Why not interchange 'Why' with 'When'...

If I post: 'Lemmy communities suck' as a Youtube video (arguing against someone, who said this), which should not be posted at Lemmy (as it is big tech and full of trackers), I'm the on, who have to live with the consequences.

When it comes to far-right, you should avoid Italy. Poland currently is okay, but it could change after next election. Austria is a bit problematic as well but nearly okay. I think, Germany is best choice though the CDU/CSU try to shift to more right decisions.

Friendly people can ve found in every of these countries but also unfriendly ones. Don't know which one to favor.

No, BFS is ment to explore all nodes abd edges systematicaly, while ant algorithms may never explore a whole bunsh of nodes. They do they search not systematically but by walking paths randomly at the beginning and spreading pheromons while doing so. Finding shorter paths will result in a higher pheromon level remaining and thus direct next ants to these shorter paths instead of longer ones.

You wouldn't know, what they will do before executing the program and they will propably find shorter paths if you use 1000 ants instead of 100.

In my results I drew a graph the highlights the ant's paths by thicknes. I drew such a graph after (for example) 10, 100 and 1000 ants. You could see, that the first ants took a path randomly and after 100 iterations, some of the shorter edges became a bit thicker than others. At the end, only the shortest edges where drawn with high thickness while the longest one where rarely used if at all

Answer is simple as always: As much privacy as possible.

So here the question was: Does account creation in this situation affect privacy? It is meaningless, what the threat model is, the answer is always the same.

Example: All data you type in for account registration but do not for purchase.

Easyer tracking directly and indirectly. Data broker use all they can get to identify you, so cross site tracking happens whenever you provide same phone number or mail.

Being able to switch these data points is helpful for privacy. And switching is easyer without accounts.

I implemented a self made or at least adapted ant based algorithm to solve a mathematical problem. Each ant walks a route which represents a possible solution. The shortest path is the best solution. It takes advantage of swarm intelligence.
