Oh I just realized an ml post got to my ‘all’

Hopefully some mod /r/conservative’s me so I don’t experience this again.

Lol hello putibot

What must it be like in your head, thinking Russia is benevolently invading Ukraine to root out the nazis that are definitely there and not made up at all 😆

Congress has refused to do anything for a decade or so in an attempt to push more power to the executive branch.

You tell him!

I associate the Midwest with a fake, forced, sense of “everything is ok”. If you know the meme of the cartoon in the kitchen with the kitchen burning up around it…that’s how I think of the default personality type in the Midwest. Don’t rock the boat. Do what the law says. Respect authority. All that stuff.

So in this case the attitude of “listen, sure, this bulwark of the internet for 25 years may have just sold out and it’s terrible, but they have the power and if you don’t like it you should just use the one other worse alternative or suck it up and stop complaining”, to me, literally SCREAMS “I’m from Ohio, home of voting for the deregulation which poisons our land and makes it so our rivers literally catch fire”.

That’s absolutely the argument for why Microsoft is “spyware”. The terms of use and having network connections.

Why do you need adobe when ai can make catgirl pictures automatically?

This is accurate

That’s true once it’s received, but it’s still processed by proton and now we know they are pro-nazi so who knows what they would do.

You can avoid this with pgp as stated (default for proton to proton messages), but I don’t think it’s worth considering the at rest encryption at proton anymore.

Protonmail uses pgp under the hood. Their encryption was only ever within proton accounts because they had an automatic key lookup system. You can of course add your own keys, but most didn’t. Still pgp.

Disroot is fine

Posteo

They’ve not been good for like 5 years but I don’t know why.

Not particularly shady

Startpage is solid

One quarter pounder is roughly the same carbon impact as a 30 mile drive.

Still buggy

I don’t have the 512 gb of ram needed to open more than two browsers at the same time, high roller.

What a strange point of view. Are you from the Midwest?
