Well, it’s most self repairable, not most durable and resistant. So time to repair 😂

Still missing the point.

The criticism was on your “words don’t kill people” part.

Neither guns nor words spawn out of nothing.

The discussion was never about the guns, dumdum (this, btw, is an ad hominem)

Thanks for the strawman, I see now you’re arguing in bad faith (or are one of those Americans hyper focused on guns)

Setting aside that the discussion was never a legal one (and either way, what is legal does not mean is moral);

The tool is still very relevant. If you have the intent to kill many but only a stick, you probably won’t get as far because sticks are not as dangerous as guns, or even words for that matter, when used.

I do not have kids. I do not want kids. I do not regret it.

Would you like them in a house? Would you like them with a mouse?

Pull a trigger in the air without a gun, and see how many you kill.

The gun is an extension of the user - without the gun, you cannot shoot, just as without a person the gun won’t shoot.

Same is the case for words. They didn’t come out of the aether into existence, and when spoken carry the will of the speaker inherently.

It’s not “just words”, it can be malice or hate given form - that is, after all, the point of communication; to give form of what you desire or think to others.

This is like saying guns don’t kill people

Yup, momentary lapse in memory. Thanks for the correction

Now I’m wondering if I should switch or wait to see if he’s ousted.

On the one hand, and least it’s a Swiss non-profit organization now that’s open sourced on the code.

On the other hand, the CEO support JD Fucking Vance and now none of the data feels secure despite what they say about their tech.

The most charitable interpretation is that he’s pulling an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” move, but considering Proton AG is located in Switzerland, and not the USA, that would be a profoundly stupid move since Big Tech doesn’t have the same influence in Switzerland as it does in the USA.

The crypto shit was already making me wary in the first place too, though knowing Proton’s previous financial difficulties I kinda understood why they might make a paranoid decision to have a crypto back up.

At this rate, I’m really gonna have to host my own server, aren’t I?

I think instead I’ll wait and see if they sack him as CEO. I’ll give them 3 months to respond and decide while I start backing everything up for migration.

Or a kidney transplant 🙃

Well, time to make my alt community account my primary one. See y’all on the other side!

I showed my wife an alt ending I had found that ends the story without the bad stuff and the dumb stuff

Currently I’m working on a Plasma Bigscreen build that still gives some privacy and 1080p Netflix/Disney+/Crunchyroll etc by using extensions/WebApps and getting S-Tube and other android apps (including tv web browser) via Waydroid + Flauncher, all controllable through a simple IR controller.

If you pm me I’ll set it as a reminder for when I finish to share the package. It’s designed for an Odroid C4.

As for dumb tvs or more privacy friendly tvs, you can find them if you know where to look. Here’s some options from LG:

They had a dumb 65" 4k OLED too but it’s currently out of stock.

Come visit Finland! Then you can be the weird one 😂

There was a joke here that they were telling us to stand closer together during the height of Covid for example

I’d ask how many people of his generations drank the battery acid that they had to make a warning about it.

Really wish @notruescotsman was here right now

I guess Finland isn’t European by your description then 🤷🏻‍♂️

You do realize EU countries have nukes too, right?

I forget people grill with electricity or gas.

I think my family only allows starting at level 4. Should there be an alt scale or?..
