I like most of historia civilis’s videos, but I have been advised by proper historians that this one is not particularly accurate, and perpetuates the popular myth that people in pre-industrial societies worked less
the same organisation makes both, they just release a subset of their work as the open source version of WordPress. it’s a pretty standard business model for this kind of software
The geoblocking is in place to prevent people from buying keys in one (cheap) region and activating them in another (more expensive) one. It’s about both, you dolt.
This is a pop culture myth. There was some resistance to the idea of unconditional surrender in the Japanese government (partly because of the emperor), but at the time the bombs were dropped, the Japanese leadership had agreed on surrender as their course of action and were attempting to strike a deal with the Soviet Union to mediate the terms on their behalf.
Hopefully I’m not too late to say this: I would strongly caution against buying a Fairphone. My mum got a new Fairphone 3 in early 2021. Earlier this year, just after the phone went out of warranty, the USB-C port stopped working. The replacement bottom module was out of stock, it’s been out of stock for months, and the forums are full of people complaining that it’s been mostly out of stock since 2021. Fairphone claimed that they would have stock back by the end of August, and as of today, that is not true. This phone was supposed to have spare parts available through to 2025.
