I feel like Facebook is much worse for that, but I haven’t touched Facebook in many years so I couldn’t tell you why I feel that way.

Wait what, Syncthing is dead? But it’s what I use!

I’ll keep running W10 on my current machine, but when I build the next one I’m very seriously considering going Linux. My only concern is that many of the software I use regularly don’t have Linux versions.

It’s good for when you want to keep up with what people or organizations you’re interested in are up to. Artists, authors, game developers, etc.

It sucks for any kind of in-depth content or conversation, including politics.

My guy, you should stop feeding the troll. I can keep coming up with bullshit indefinitely. The intent of my original facetious reply was to point out how ridiculous it is to react to a clearly ridiculous and unrealistic suggestion as if it was the most seriously considered expression of an actual policy suggestion ever. But it turns out some people just can’t not take every single thing that is said with the utmost seriousness.

Of course a nuked country will be a nuked country. That’s beside the point, moving the goalposts.

That’s the point

No, they can return after the country has been glassed.

Yes, but in reality nobody is going to nuke anybody, and certainly not because a random internet user vents their frustration at the situation with a clearly metaphorical and exaggerated request. Your reply was an overly literal reading of the comment, like replying to “go fuck yourself” with “…you realize that’s not possible, right?”

I simply replied to your literal interpretation with a literal interpretation of my own.

Sure you can, move the civilians out first.

They didn’t say anything about civilians

Your Proton password is not the encryption key for your data, not directly. Basically, your password is used to encrypt the actual encryption key inside your browser, and that encrypted encryption key is stored on Proton servers alongside your data. Proton can’t access your data because they don’t know your password which was used to encrypt the encryption key.

When you want to access your data, Proton servers sends the encrypted encryption key to your browser, and your browser decrypts it using the password you entered. Proton servers then send you your encrypted data, and your browser decrypts it using the decrypted encryption key and shows it to you. There’s no point where Proton has enough information to decrypt your data. Your actual plaintext password never leaves your browser.

This is a simplified high-level overview of how it works, of course there’s a lot more details to the actual implementation.

Coming from a country bordering Russia and having had to deal with their bullshit for my entire life, the most frustrating thing about Russian bullshit is that if they could just be normal, they could be an actually wealthy and significant European country in a few decades. But no, they have always had this HUGE inferiority complex, which means that they need to continuously prove that they’re great, powerful and important. And the only way they know how to prove their greatness and importance is to flex their “power” on their neighbors, including by militarily expanding their borders, while most of their “peer” countries (most importantly pretty much all of Europe) have moved on from this sort of view of being “powerful” after WW2 by the latest.

Japan has various earthquake notification systems. Tweets are just one more way to get the information to the people on a platform they use.
