If you like Stan syntax, I've used this function to simulate data but it's a little user unfriendly IMO.

Wait, I didn't pre-register this study. These are just closely related studies. Nothing to see here.

Don't get me started about their marketing department! They're in desperate need of a rebrand. anti-fascist >> antifa

The prospect of private photos is very attractive to me. But, it definitely looks like there are convenient features from Google photos that I'll miss.

I've heard good things about TWSBI: www.gouletpens.com/products/tws...

TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen - Clear - The Goulet Pen Company

This piston filling fountain pen features a crystal clear acrylic barrel so you can see your ink level, a clear cap, and a stainless steel nib.

Awesome, thanks for the tips! Hope you're having a nice weekend.

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

Thanks for the tips, Justin! I think Proton looks super promising, gonna make the plunge! 🔐

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

👍 Are there other providers one should also consider when looking at Proton?

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

Any alternative sources you like these days?

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

Ah, that is tricky!

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

Yep. I'm also a happy protonvpn user. I might try moving my stuff over first to test the waters. I'm also thinking a custom domain for email is a plus because then I could switch providers without changing my email address.

I'm curious what you landed on? I'm thinking about leaving Google for Proton.

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

Thanks for this helpful perspective. I'm thinking about moving over to Proton from Google. That article did make me question the move a bit.

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

I'm curious, did you move?

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

How's it going? I'm thinking about making the switch.

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

I'm thinking about moving from Google to the Proton Family plan. Any tips?

Andrew Marder @andrewmarder.net · 1d

I'm looking into the Proton Family plan. I'm curious what you decided to do.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Moved around campus a bit, my last (and best) spot was an apartment on Linden Lane. maps.app.goo.gl/WtbcTxSUHQmH...
