lol i didn’t think of that. it’s so true.

great… csam movie trilogies and action figures… child trafficking versions of kpop demon hunters…

just what society needed 😮‍💨

homo sapiens is so not worth the trouble. mother nature should just incinerate us now and cut her losses.

they’re not gonna listen to it…

does proton want to be constantly harassed (aka investigated informally without charges nor warrants) by fbi, police, mi5, mi6, Interpol, Europol, etc etc via kyc laws and money laundering laws because a few hundreds/thousands petitioners said “do this”? they would receive even more requests for user data (which often don’t require warrants in many countries btw) than they already receive.

or would they rather continue to enable millions of users to escape censorship while still making lots of money and only sometimes harassed by LE?

in other words do you think proton is a conscience with software attached? or are they a money-making company that has slightly better values than certain other companies?

(rhetorical questions. i know the answers already)

no personal offense intended.

OUT OH MY GOD THANK YOU

i was incensed by the exclusivity announcement. i couldn’t understand why an indie developer (if they have any ethics) would sell out like that… of course i was answering my own question…

disclaimer: i don’t necessarily hate Netflix contents. i hate corporations trying to expand into everything, every market, every region, every industry and capture all resources and all customers like if Spectre from James Bond was a giant amoeba with a binge eating fetish.

edit: spelling/auto-complete 🤦

some people believe flirting is a goal in itself or an indispensable part of life for a valid human. meaning, these type of people can’t conceive the existence of someone who doesn’t flirt nor one who doesn’t enjoy flirting. that’s very dehumanizing for others of us.

not everyone is capable of flirting.

i have no interest in relationship discussion communities but speaking as a privacy supporter, using gender neutral language can have the benefit of:

• disguising the poster against misogyny and other gender-based trolling.
• if an argument erupts, it can also make participants more difficult to dox or stalk in other communities.

if you’re not actually promoting gmail, you ought to make that explicitly clear.

by pointing out something bad about proton and praising gmail’s version of that, it looks like you’re doing nothing other than recommending gmail in a privacy community.

everyone already knows gmail has high usability and convenience and zero (financial) cost. using it as an example in this community is redundant and ineffective. better to use another e2ee email service as an example.

my favorite feature of freetube is the channel blocking and keyword blocking. my block list is probably thousands of items by now. consequently, my second favorite feature is the ability to hide the block lists 😂

(my fav feature is different than most important feature, which is of course privacy from YT/Big G. so please don’t complain that i don’t care about privacy)

in all seriousness, palantir and clearview are way more dangerous than most of the other shit going on out there. only Putin has greater max evil potential (when considering not only politics and military but also Russian Mafia and western politician campaign secret donations).

theyre basically Albion from watch dogs legion.

10 years for FFXV

14 years and counting for Winds of Winter

for context. 😮‍💨

thank you

I’ve heard of “pirate radio” since decades ago but never understood what is pirated about it.

are they broadcasting pirated music? broadcasting from ships committing maritime piracy? drinking Captain Morgan?

thanks for bringing this to the anglophone community

no offense intended but

lately, the articles about lack of privacy being the downfall of murderers and dictators… it’s killing my enthusiasm for privacy

i won’t give up on privacy… its just starting to feel gross… learning lessons from ppl who ought to suffer.

edit: everyone replying to me seems to misunderstand catastrophically. “losing enthusiasm” does NOT mean quitting privacy. i will never quit privacy. i have ANXIETY ABOUT LOSING PRIVACY. DON’T reply to me to convince me about privacy. i am a privacy evangelist.

my original comment was intended to say: “hey privacy advocates! stop posting articles about murderers and genocidal autocrats!”

here are my 4 non-Foss apps, out of 27 total on dock (yes on the dock, using folders)

• 🚫nordvpn

• 🚫obsidian (sync disabled)

• 🚫@voice aloud tts

• 🚫MS Swiftkey settings (true privacy threat i know, but Asian lang. support is essential & it runs w/o internet perm., w/o play services, and kept in incognito.)
