Two wrongs occasionally make a right, or maybe just a lack of a wrong, when they’re pointed at each other in just the right way.

Still a bad system that needs to be fixed.

Always a good idea to separate trump supporters from the normal americans who hate this stuff as much as the people it happens to.

Even with fascism having an uptick, most people hate this shit.

Comments like this are why the open internet rules.

Probably admissable as evidence in a court of law lol.

Do you like the taste of boots better on a rainy day or on a dry, sunny day?

There’s nothing to discuss. It’s the Gulf of Mexico, and suggestions to the contrary are to be appropriately dismissed as childish.

Aa a side note, make sure that, no matter what, you find a way to follow “Gulf of” with “Mexico”. It should flow by rote in the hearer’s mind, simply by virtue of the fact that they hear it the correct way when you talk about it.

This is a trivially easy battle to fight. Only use the correct name, and it will be the one that sticks. Using the incorrect name, even to make correct statements about how it’s dumb and childish and not going to be its name going forward, reinforces the lie.

Mexico is the Gulf-of-havin’est thing you ever did see.

It will not be called by any other name besides Gulf of Mexico.

With a single picture of the earth taken from space?

Just as a general note, everybody needs to be extremely pro-calling-out-lies-and-stating-the-truth all the time.

Never start in with the “it doesn’t matter” stuff. We keep track of what’s happening and make sure that correct information is out there in lots and lots of places.

We all need to be one another’s increasingly and ever-reliable fact network.

Money mines.

Time to go mining.

Nobody cares about cryptocurrency.

I don’t even do 3D printing but I’m always thrilled to see a group of people burning companies for shitty practices and talking about which ones are good.

Note the names of the individuals who decided on this and make it news when they move to another company. Companies can’t do anything; it’s always people making these crappy choices. The public deserves to know if they’re about to fuck up a different company, too.

The American ones.

He’s kind of right on the money and kind of being completely dumb.

The fact of it is that Republicans don’t want to help privacy or take down big tech’s abuses, they want to make it worse. All of the reasonable things Andy has said have taken place past that, so in a way the entire conversation is talking past the point.

The question is, how can somebody so influential at a major privacy company not have such a pre-school understanding of major world figures’ relationships to his core business?

I’m still confused how he could have been dumb enough to think, let alone imply, let alone say out loud, that Republicans want to reign in big tech, when they so transparently want to capture it and make it an even worse version of itself. It’s not that everything they do is a cynical power grab, it’s that everything they do is a blatant cynical power grab, and being in the privacy business without having a perfectly clear understanding of that feels equivalent to not knowing what a VPN is.

His statement here is great, and I support it whole-heartedly and unabashedly. It just feels almost…I don’t know, unrelated somehow? Even though ostensibly it isn’t.

Be tired with Tuta!

1. It isn’t misinformation.

2. Someone like this board member being a traitor to his species isn’t covered by “opinion”. No normalizing nazis. It’s such a low bar. He couldn’t clear it.

3. He blasted his treachery over the public airwaves. His privacy isn’t being violated.

This whole comment feels like an exercise in using all the best words to miss the point. We know, as does this probably-lying board member, that Republicans are only going to go more authoritarian, and the only reason they would pretend to care about big tech abuses is to grab the steering wheel from them to commit far worse abuses. No company that gets into bed with traitors is going to become the new center of my digital life.

Tuta for email, syncthing for photos bc I’m not self-hosting, mullvad for VPN.

Oh damn.

Swing and a miss.

Not even close to on point.

Makes it trivial to spam filter it.
