You among others are the reason why I don’t do vacations in the US anymore. Most people here in Germany think like that now.

What about the pro Trump and pro US?

Running a thousand watts and not running a thousand watts can be quiet a difference depending on where you live. And then consider buying all of the hardware. In many cases it’s probably cheaper to just pay $40 al month.

It’s a good service actually. Just not free.

I’m starting to think that weapons are the only answer to the cancer of the world these days. At least it’s the only thing Trump will understand. Though, I hope that China will find a way to cure the cancer without declaring war on them.

Is Mastodon still a thing? I haven’t heard from it in a while.

It’s just another bubble. Choose the bubble that fits you.

Young people primarily care about money and career prospects, which there are none in Germany.

I would switch to Proton in a heartbeat if they supported IMAP. I use Thunderbird as my Email client.

TLDR: A former Azure Core engineer details how Microsoft risked losing OpenAI and government trust due to complacent decisions, including a plan to port half of Windows to a tiny chip, which the engineer deemed impossible.

Political rage bait completely unrelated to technology.

All of that and cat still lands on its feet.

Addy.io has a feature for encrypting your emails before relaying them to the recipient account. I use that. You never send an email to my actual Gmail address but always use one of my aliases, thus encrypting before it’s stored in my Google inbox.

I need Email aliases. And I don’t want to pay for an email account (yet another subscription).

I should really check URLs more often😅

Until minors can buy alcohol online.

Is it bad to use Gmail if all your emails are fully PGP encrypted (piped through Addy.io) and you only use Gmail through IMAP via a third-party client?

Basically running free on Google’s costs while giving them no opportunity to harvest my Email data.

Why? I don’t understand your perspective here. Shouldn’t your interest lie with the country you live in?

Why is there a Wikipedia for this? There is only one source to this and barely any information available. Did you make that entry?

Paying for good software should be normalized again. One way or the other you’ll always pay. If you don’t pay with your money, you pay with your data.

Should kids be allowed to buy alkohol in stores?
