It's a somewhat convoluted story. Here are some links

• https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest
• https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/ydcek3/what_became_of_the_french_climate_activist/
• https://www.wired.com/story/protonmail-amends-policy-after-giving-up-activists-data/

The takeaway is when he logged into his Protonmail they logged his IP address which helped track this individual down. But note that Reddit thread I linked. I also cannot find that much information about "what happened next," or the details of who was arrested and why.

There may be other examples, but this particular case kinda hit the rounds back when it happened.

Depending on how you're accessing this, and how many people you're trying to set this up for, it would probably be easiest to learn how to deploy your own Wireguard network. In my case, my phone automatically connects to my own Wireguard on my server (an 11 year old laptop) and whenever I'm on the go I have full access to my LAN + PiHole DNS filtering.

So, what's the point? The point is that you will be able to securely connect to your media server without exposing it directly to the internet, all without paying for a service to do what you can already do yourself, provided your ISP allows you port forward.

It also wants to end the right of California and eight other states to demand tougher emissions regulations than the federal standards that would ban the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Without tough emissions rules at the federal and state level, there would be no regulatory credit sales.

The sale of those federal and state credits has been quite lucrative for Tesla, bringing in $8.4 billion in revenue since the start of 2021 alone, money that basically went straight to its bottom line.

Is this the greenwashing scam companies use to pretend that they are working toward a carbon-neutral production line? They're just speculating on future production and selling today's emissions to today's buyers on tomorrow's promise?

How fucked.

every non-vandalized cybertruck is an affront to decent society

Of course. By giving a big corporation money they then turn around to pay lobbyist groups to advocate for shittier copyright laws that favor big corporations. Why would I pay them for this "privilege?"

Applying the term Rogue State is probably only an excuse to attack in most cases, but it really applies to DRK.

One must add Israel to this. And, by extension, Israel's benefactor: The United States of Impunity. I'd also throw in Russia.

If in the future you think you might bring family/relations onboard to the password manager, it may be worthwhile to pay for a BitWarden family plan. BitWarden is really low-cost and they publish their stuff as FOSS (and therefore are worth supporting), but crucially you don't want to be the point of technical support for when something doesn't work for someone else. Self-hosting a password manager is an easier thing to do if you're only doing it for yourself.

That said, I use a self-hosted Vaultwarden server as backup (i.e. I manually bring the server online and sync to my phone now and again), and my primary password manager is through Keepassxc, which is a completely separate and offline password manager program.

Edit: Forgot to mention, you can always start with free BitWarden and then export your data and delete your account if you decide to self-host.

I've been using them for a few weeks now. Lifesaver as I try to organize stupid bullshit that life forces on me.

Just making sure. I don't think it was always an option on Steam, anyway.

You might notice that your Windows installation is like 30 gigabytes and there is a huge folder somewhere in the system path called WinSXS. Microsoft bends over backwards to provide you with basically all the versions of all the shared libs ever, resulting in a system that can run programs compiled from decades ago just fine.

In Linux-land usually we just recompile all of the software from source. Sometimes it breaks because Glibc changed something. Or sometimes it breaks because (extremely rare) the kernel broke something. Linus considers breaking the userspace API one of the biggest no-nos in kernel development.

Even so, depending on what you're doing you can have a really old binary run on your Linux computer if the conditions are right. Windows just makes that surface area of "conditions being right" much larger.

As for your phone, all the apps that get built and run for it must target some kind of specific API version (the amount of stuff you're allowed to do is much more constrained). Android and iOS both basically provide compatibility for that stuff in a similar way that Windows does, but the story is much less chaotic than on Linux and Windows (and even macOS) where your phone app is not allowed to do that much, by comparison.

Genocide Joe. Burn in hell you piece of shit

You’re telling me when Matt Miller got up to the podium and smirked and said they were having frank conversations with their Israeli partners that he LIED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Nooooooo waaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Nice stuff. But one nitpick: with steam you can get a refund within two hours of playtime if you realize you bought a crap game.

Ok good luck with your state-sponsored reeducation programs in your Nazi-adjacent Western democracies where the left holds no political power 👍.

For everyone else who has a fucking clue: when your government has a gestapo police state that rounds up and deports the people the state has deemed undesirable, guess what? The Nazis are already in control.

This is one of the most libbed up things I've ever seen a lemmygrad user post... Are you just a wrecker account?

It's amazing how this man's brain is so feeble that he just fully believes what the last person he met with him tells him.

Interesting. May need to check it out, but I pmuch only use Gnome or KDE. I hate having to configure the extra parts in a WM (widgets for bluetooth, wifi, etc...).

What makes hyprland so good? It just seems like another WM to me, but maybe I don't get the interesting parts of it.

I don't really understand what you're asking for, but maybe you'd benefit from Firefox's multi-account containers extension (domains can have their cookies isolated). Or from a more rigorous usage of the Firefox profiles features (type about:profiles in the address bar) and create a dedicated google profile, a dedicated vpn profile, and leave a regular personal profile. You can theme them so they look distinct when you have them open.

The thing you should be aware of is that Tor is designed to make you look uniform to every other Tor browser. It's set such that you should not really stand out from other Tor users by browser fingerprinting techniques.

Without showing us what the differing warnings are, it's hard to even assess what this information means.
