Google’s keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I’m back to SwiftKey which isn’t absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)
I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough

I2P doesn’t behave like Tor by default, it’s designed around connecting to internal peers within its network so your browser won’t treat it as a proxy but default and you have to specifically configure it to route traffic to the I2P network
Heat capacity of lava per degree Celsius per unit of mass
Multiplied by temperature differential vs ambient, multiplied by mass = total extra heat energy
Then you calculate the sum of heat capacity multiplied by mass for lava and for water, and calculate from that how many degrees above ambient the two masses will land at when combined as the extra energy above is divided over both (assuming water starts at ambient temp)
It won’t be exact because heat capacity varies in materials as temperature changes, both steam and solidification of lava (state change) will contribute significantly, but it’s a decent first estimate

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."
