people having a life and being able to afford to change their lifestyle away from fossil fuels is more important at the moment.

we really need more education surrounding the issues and better alternatives, once everyone realises how much damage cars cause and once they realise/once they have a viable alternative (i.e. trains) then people will start to switch away. in the mean time people still need their cars to get to work, because that is how the US is designed, and expensive fuel will only result in them having less spare change, rather than them actually using their car less.

sure, if everyone had enough money that they could afford to change up the way they do things or if everyone had a job that they can do from home or if everyone lived within walking distance from their job, then maybe you would have a valid argument. people are much less likely to go on a road trip, for example, if its gonna cost them 3x more than they expect it to cost, but people need to go to work to survive.

yeah, people are so ignorant. how do people think joking about this bullshit is okay.

and later,

He knew the truck would be an eye-catcher in Maine. But he wanted it for its uniqueness.

“It’s so ugly it’s cute. It’s like a French bulldog,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the most attractive car in the world, but it’s different. And I like to be different.”

Sounds like the best option to me.

They're not perfect, but they're nothing like Gmail. What email provider do you suggest?

Ah, my bad, I'll edit my comment.

Sounds like an avoidable problem, that Proton didn't have a whole lot to fight it with. Obviously they could/should have fought it in court, but this could have been avoided if the individual simply didn't link a recovery email and/or didn't share the same email across Apple products + protesting. Although, the article does point out that if you sign up over Tor or a VPN it requires a verification email, which sucks- though you could just use a temporary email address to get around it. As CaptObvious pointed out (literally @CaptObvious@literature.cafe lmfao) the reporter pointed out Proton rejects temporary emails.

Key information:

The core of the controversy stems from Proton Mail providing the Spanish police with the recovery email address associated with the Proton Mail account of an individual

individual is suspected of being a member of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalonia’s police force) and of using their internal knowledge to assist the Democratic Tsunami movement.

Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

This case is particularly noteworthy because [...] complex interplay between technology firms, user privacy, and law enforcement.

requests were made under the guise of anti-terrorism laws

primary activities of the Democratic Tsunami involving protests and roadblocks

Proton Mail’s compliance with these requests is bound by Swiss law

Comment from Proton:

We are aware of the Spanish terrorism case involving alleged threats to the King of Spain, but as a general rule we do not comment on specific cases. Proton has minimal user information, as illustrated by the fact that in this case data obtained from Apple was used to identify the terrorism suspect. Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper OpSec, such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method. Note, Proton does not require adding a recovery address as this information can in theory be turned over under Swiss court order, as terrorism is against the law in Switzerland.

That was PirateSoftware, and yes, but that was for Sony's website not for the Steam page.

Still shit though.

fix the homelessness problem or trans rights issues or the home heating problem or improve the looks of the cities or fix the wealth gap or fix NHS or lessen sexism or improve public schools or lower emissions or improve nuclear power or reduce coal or subsidise renewables or improve privacy or fix all the issues created by the UK government over the last 30 years or help fix problems caused by colonisation in ireland or do literally anything useful for once? nah, too expensive.

a £230,000,000 mass surveillance program akin to that of russia or the ccp? of course we can!

Musk is a cunt.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.

To add to this: if you take ibuprofen regularly, remember to eat before taking it. Taking it on an empty stomach a handful of times is completely fine, but if you do it too much can cause stomach ulcers (not insanely common as far as I'm aware though.).

Anyway, this person is right, take some ibuprofen and rest.

If you disable "open supported links" for gmail it should fix it.

Chill E

I'm using Firefox + uBlock Origin and don't have a paywall.

This explains it pretty well https://callmebymygender.top/

These accounts were true and well documented

Why didn't they list any sources to vett their narrative then? I'd think that if it was well documented they would've linked the documents alongside the anti-China articles they listed in the footnotes.

What adblocker are you using? It doesn't appear for me.

yeah, youre probably right

Ah, my bad. I thought that OP meant a bot to convert torrents to DDL.
