Not that it answers your question, but the move happened in 2020 to "hire more easily, act more swiftly, and pursue ideas that were previously not possible".
Total mail UI/UX overhaul, total backend overhaul allowing implementation of new protocols (first new protocol was Exchange), an Android app and monthly release cadence vs yearly. And that's just to name the ones that immediately come to mind. Have plenty of users yelling at us for changing too much.
Judging from the side it seems like there aren't a lot of developers and the current few have their favorite subsystems, those get almost all of the attention. The rest is kept as-is and does not progress. I also don't know if there's a trivial way to find how many external contributions they get from BugZilla, if they even get any?
Just in case you need sources: Kagi is using [1] Yandex and paying them as of June 2025. This is a long-standing position, which was also voiced [2] in November 2024.
Regarding Yandex. The founder sold [3] the assets (seemingly including the index and Yandex trademark) to VK (Mail.ru) in 2022. VK are known supporters of the war [4]. The founder subsequently renamed [5] his original company to Nebius Group and pivoted towards compute for AI.
I was browsing through the issues of extrepo and found deb-get, seems pretty useful too:
> deb-get makes it easy to install and update .debs published in 3rd party apt repositories or made available via direct download on websites or GitHub release pages.
Keep in mind that using Beeper for Instagram breaks their ToS and often gets your account suspended or banned. This happens with both cloud and local bridges.
Isn't this something we already know from the mass–energy equivalence? In the same way that a nuclear reaction that produces heat must cost the object mass (and therefore gravitational pull)
Seems like they're "season photos", so a lot of Easter and Holy Week celebrations today.
I have to say I got almost perfect a Holy Week celebration in Sevilla in the 1920's (I'm Spanish, so only some hundred meters away but kinda wild guess for the year and only was two years off), and pointed Mexico instead of Guatemala for another, but nailed the year (1981) for a grand total of 902 out of 1000 points.
I only immigrated to the US in my adult life and I can't say I recognize Barbara Bush at a glance, so I was _also_ off by a few years and a few km on that one :( but still a lot of fun!
Oh, my first guess was off by only 1 year, and my final score was 3742, and my Avg. Years Off was 8.4, so it seems I have a pretty good historical memory, hahahaha.
This is a nice idea. Only issue are the ads - the ad on the bottom right is bleeding over the photo, there are two video ads playing simultaneously... Makes it annoying to play
Lem himself talks about the movie a bit there too, around the 24th minute. He didn't seem fond of Tarkowsky's religiousness and the impact it had on the movie.
It's interesting that Tarkowsky himself didn't like the movie either.
Authors are a bit too involved emotionally to judge movies that are based on their books though. It reveals to them that the interpretation that readers make of their books or their interest in it may not be what the author intended.
