This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.
I used to be easily distracted during online lectures yet had little difficulty following live lectures. It's a fundamentally different experience, for whatever reason.
Also, the attention span has to be trained. And training it by working without a distracting computer sounds like a good idea.
How certain can we be that these messages aren't fake?
With all due respect to Guido, creating software does not have the same weight and responsibilities as leading a country.
No, because "benevolent dictatorship" can't exist (the only benevolent action of such a dictatorship would be self-abolishment).
It's been moved to the archive but is linked on top of the talk page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&oldid=1310806574#Including_the_video / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Killing_of_Charlie_Kirk/Archive_2#Including_the_video
Looks like they've decided against inclusion. It's also unlikely the video meets "fair use" standards so they'd have to delete it anyway...
They had a whole edit war about whether it should be included and locked the article.
Kirk's killer seems to have used some large calibre weapon which probably made it look so particularly brutal and bloody.
You wouldn't, by any chance, provide examples of that censorship and how it can be traced to FBI/CIA?
Sure, but the duration of the ownership doesn't matter a whole lot in this sort of situation. If you've missed the news about the selling when it happened, it's relatively unlikely you'll learn about it afterwards. I don't periodically do a background check of all the devs and owners of my apps.
There's way too many languages and dialects with way too many sounds out there for this to be practically doable. For foreign names some basic degree of approximation is desirable, but nothing more than that. In principle you shouldn't expect or demand people to produce sounds not found in their native dialect (unless they're actually learning the foreign language, but even then they will usually stick to the same language within the same sentence).
Besides, it's not even odd for people not to be able to pronounce stuff according to the standard norm of their own native language, due to the dialectal variety within the same language.
As for names from within the same language, it could sound artificial and even condescending if you tried to go for a pronunciation not native to you. Bob is just Bob, no need to stress that he's "American/British Bob".
