  • Fairphone. While im not sure theyre manufactured in Europe, they pay the factory workers fairly and have fair working conditions for them.

  • Im not saying that nor advocating communism, im just stating that what you said about the reason you think people only do those jobs, I believe at least, is false simply by counterargument. Ask any one of the people who enjoy that kind of work environment if they would ever work in an office, closed in a room seated at a desk all day, and most would probably say you couldnt pay them enough to do it. To them, even if you DO give them more money, its not a reward/compensation because they value different things.

    Im one of the office-type people. Id like to think what I do has value to society, and I believe I would do it regardless of the compensation/regardless of if I got the same money as a lumberjack, because I enjoy it. Thats another angle: if everyone is paid the same, why not do what you enjoy. If what you enjoy is being in the woods cutting trees, or on a boat in the sea, or in a tower in isolation for weeks (fire watcher), or any number of other "undesirable" jobs, and youd still get paid a living wage for doing that, same as everyone else, why would you ever subject yourself to something miserable for you, for no better reward?

  • Someone who enjoys being out at sea, or in the woods might find those occupations fun 🤷‍♂️

  • Aha i didnt know about this. Thanks, its something im interested in looking into more on my own

  • Fascists gonna fascist i guess 💁‍♂️

  • May i ask why? Im planning on buying one in the coming months, and crealitys are available on my local second hand store page (like fb marketplace but dedicated site only for my country).

    Id rather not get a bambu if they really are locking everything down, so not sure what else is left

  • If you look at the source page for tge section on US fascism it has a section on the current state of affairs

  • I completely understand that you are trying to be supportive, and if the news from Venezuela didn't come out today I would not have replied, but it did, so back here I am. The problem is that the time for you to resist by buying EU goods, and spreading awareness about the issues in your country has long since passed -- And the rest of the world is paying for it. First Venezuelans will die, then possibly Cubans, and who knows, if no one stops the US war machine in the first two cases, why not also go for Greenland? (I'm slightly exaggerating here to make a point)

    You can (I hope) see how all the support from people from the USA sounds like empty words. How about you use your 2nd amendment right that we've been hearing about for decades, for the purpose it was supposedly put in place for? Maybe its because you (or the people who like guns, I realise there's not a lot of crossover between left-leaning people and people who defended gun ownership, but regardless there's nothing stopping the people on the left from acquiring them from this point onwards) don't actually want guns to defend from a tyrannical government, but instead just find them fun to own and shoot.

    Words are empty, and peaceful protest only works if your oppressor has a conscience, which its clear the USA doesn't have. The world is paying in blood for the fear of the average US citizen to deal with their own mess, and that tends to lead to the world not liking Americans (from the USA) very much, regardless of what said American's political leanings are.

    Thanks for your words of support. Be sure to let the those who have already died from your bombs, and those who are yet to die, know that you support them also.

  • I might have used mailcow on a vps I had for a short time for a project I was hosting on it. Not sure though, I can't remember. I'd much rather go with something simple that I don't need to micromanage, or that I don't need to worry that I've misconfigured hence won't be receiving mail, so when the time comes I'll probably be looking for solutions like the docker mailserver I linked to above, or similar.

  • Yeap exactly, I just replied to your other comment with basically this :D

    I'd rather have something simple that works for now, and eventually when I am able to self-host my own email, I can look into and spend the effort securing everything.

  • The way I understand it from that video and the short time I've had to look this up, is that you need to handle the E2EE yourself.

  • Checking them out now :)

  • Hmmm, just watched this video: https://piped.wireway.ch/watch?v=aat1q9VLDjk and if what is mentioned in it is true, its concerning, especially if they store emails on their server in plaintext, and it sometimes takes a long time for emails to arrive.

  • I considered it, and it looks really good, but the free plan only allows for 1GB storage. I see at the bottom of this page: https://disroot.org/services/email that they do offer paid storage increases, but I don't see if thats the monthly, annual, or lifetime charge. Do you know?

    Yet another email advice thread

  • Dragged in by the US. One more reason to cut ties and go our separate ways.

  • Maybe don’t insult the people who want to be your ally, or you’ll find yourself without any.

    Are... Are you serious right now? You tell me this, after everything the orange has done and said? Some would consider it a bit too late to for that, the alliance has ended, if not officially in all other aspects, and you're the ones who've destroyed it. How can we ever trust you again?

    Oh right, I guess Europe has never needed outside help with a fascist takeover

    Don't play the good guy, you were profiting from both sides before officially joining, and once you joined it had no effect on your own fascism. Don't forget that prior to WW2, American Fascism/Racism was too extreme even for the Nazis, so they (the Nazis) deliberately toned their versions down a bit.

  • Having to spend time around people I dont care about but have to pretend I do. Also my birthday is soon after, which overall makes the season depressing.

  • Too late. Youve had decades to do something about your dictatorship, but only now that it directly affects you and the dictators are barely trying to hide it, do you suddenly care and act like youre innocent when it comes to the state of affairs you find yourself in.

    Where were you when it was innocent people in other countries were being bombed in the ME, or SE Asia, or tortured, or x, y, z crime against humanity you guys have been commiting?

    Why should we send help instead of leaving you on the ship and just watch it as it sinks?

  • Yes, but i wanted people to research and come to whatever conclusions they may come to, on their own :)
