Sure, but the CEO of Spotify (which I have no idea why we're bringing in here)... Is a man named Daniel Ek, so the other part of that comment doesn't make sense either.

I might be dumb. PC vs Mac is a common way to differentiate. Laptop vs stationary is a common way to differentiate. Isn't "PC Laptop" a pretty descriptive and non-overlapping way to unambinguiusly distinguish the item?

I was in Spain, waiting outside a tournament venue for Magic: The Gathering. Two guys were talking, presumably in Spanish. I knew no spanish, but I could tell the one guy was really excited, almost choking back a laugh while speaking quickly and loudly before he held out his hand vertically, swung it left and right like a table tennis paddle while loudly exclaiming "RAGARAGARAGARAGA".

The other guy was listening closely with a completely unfazed expression.

Their conversation continued.

At that point, I started to wonder: what were they talking about? What kind of conversation could lead to that motion and that complimentary sound to be adequate? Why was the other guy seemingly so unamused when the first guy was so excited?

This happened probably around 10 years ago, and it bothers me to this day. I will never know for sure, of course, but I have yet to think of a single topic which could reasonably prompt that interaction.

After the war, just tell Trump that the rare earth materials have strange properties which make people within a certain radius more attracted to people of their own gender.

The laws of thermal- and accoustic physics are surely warped within Dell hardware. Otherwise, I have no explanation why it acts so much worse than other laptops with similar specs.

I can understand it. I was banned without reason from 3 of the top mastodon instances before even posting anything. Creating new accounts is a hassle, and it's easy to lose faith in the system when bans happen without reason and none of the instances cared to respond to my appeals. In heinsight, I'm sure the ban was due to my username looking like a hash, but I still find it crazy that the appeals were ignored.

I can vouch for Signal. I got my whole family out of facebook messenger to make a new place for family chat. Even my parents in their mid 60s had no problem changing.

I am Norwegian. I used to be proud and somewhat brag about having an american mother. I gradually stopped telling people about that ever since the first orange-red term. And after this election, I'm starting to keep my background a secret.

Can someone explain the benefits that GOP are trying to achieve with this rule? Does the censoring somehow provide an advantage to their popularity?

He should just get nominated to become presisent. Every penalty, accisation and conviction will go away - just like magic.

Absolutely, that may be important. LTT were only aware of the extension screwing over the creators, not that the customers were also getting screwed.
