Given the controversy surrounding Proton's potential political leanings, this feels like a major misstep for a company that should prioritize neutrality. It makes me seriously question where Porkbun stands.
It's also really bad timing, given that Porkbun's website at the time of writing appears to have been hacked, and is serving an invalid certificate.
Porkbun is owned by republicans, so this alliance makes sense. People who don't want their money going to republicans will look elsewhere.

In my experience Left-Write is the clear place to start. It's general purpose and fast for reads. Only if that is unsuitable (eg memory usage) does one design a custom data structure. There's a Rust lib implementation with links to more resources:

Yes, seems broken.
Don't let the name fool you, inflation is not about prices increasing per se. It's about your dollar having less value.
In response to Covid The Fed "goosed" the economy by "printing" a ridiculous amount of new dollars. That obviously devalued what was already in circulation.
Devalue === worth less Worth less === buys less
Voila...inflation.
The reason you / we don't understand is because no one - gov, Fed or media - wants the come clean on the impact of The Fed's Covid related decisions.
The dollar's value is high.

The essence of capitalism is that capital can be used to produce income. Rent, and specifically residential property rent are a tiny fraction of that.
Why it's possible to highlight the negative effects of capitalism in general, I feel like that's a "boil the ocean" problem.
The root of the housing issue is supply. It doesn't matter who owns the accommodation - there's a shortage of it - and that's driving prices up.
I more useful strategy IMO is to look at policies that would encourage all levels (private and govt) to develop more housing and increase the supply.
Under capitalism there's an incentive to manufacture a shortage to drive prices up. That's why Vienna has such a higher quality of life than anywhere in the US: robust public housing which does not have such a detrimental incentive.

Freedom and Democracy is lost. This isn't about the candidate or his policies, I don't even know what they are. It's about the foundation of Western Democracies.
The US has never been a democracy; though I certainly support it becoming one someday.
Anyway, LinkedIn can do whatever they want with the content people are willingly handing over, within the confines of the law, though even that has plenty of built in exceptions for the wealthy.
And nothing of value was lost.
In contrast, censorship requests by open, freedom-loving governments are so obviously a good thing and in the best interest of their citizens, that they don't even merit mentioning.
