I have been using ProtonMail for a long time now and have been completely satisfied with their service.

Hahaha well done OP!

That is a perception index and not a democracy index. It is purely based on what the surveyed people said about their government.

If you ask most in China anything about the government, they will only say good things and deny anything else, because doing otherwise could result in them getting 'disappeared'.

As the survey report itself says:
"In authoritarian countries, positive perceptions might result from different conceptions of democracy, high levels of government satisfaction, or fear of speaking out against the government." I am betting on the latter.

Okay

That is a solid pun! Well done!

Its among my all time favourites! Such an incredible movie!

Will CCP also start following the core values of socialism now?

Here is the original thread he posted https://lemmy.world/post/1522014 (https://kbin.social/m/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz/t/200799/Help-Lemmy-Air-Pods-Pro-2-won-t-connect-to-my)

Wow!

The interests of government agencies are not aligned and quite often contradict each other. Not all of them want to snoop on you.

You are really underestimating how hard it is build and maintain such easy to use and secure services. So using a trusted service like Signal is convenient. And government officials across the world use it:

And moreover, the essay by the tankie creator of Lemmy does the mistake of assuming everything the US government funds or has funded at some point as nefarious. The US government is not unified by any stretch of the imagination. It is full of competing interests and some agencies do want to support ideas like freedom of information and right to privacy. If you look at the things that the Open Technology Fund has donated to, you will see that it has pretty much stuck to its objective of supporting "open technologies and communities that increase free expression, circumvent censorship, and obstruct repressive surveillance."

And I still fail to see any real evidence for the claim that Signal's privacy is compromised.

This same thing has been reposted here so much. So I am going to copy-paste my original response once again.

Governments routinely fund the development of secure and open communication systems because they themselves benefit from having such communication tools which can be trusted. By the logic presented in this "essay", one shouldn't be using the internet at all. What you need to check is whether Signal's technical claims about its encryption is true or not. There is nothing in this article that raises any question on Signal's encryption. We already know how much data Signal has on its users through their responses to various legal subpoenas over the years (spoiler: its pretty much nothing).

Here are some cool links for you to check out:

Everyone in that Telegram group, including her, needs help.

For a moment I thought the whales were somehow killed by the cruise ship..

Here is a visualisation showing just how big is Disney (I can't spot a couple of companies that I know are owned by Disney in this, so the list is actually even bigger).

They are definitely too big at this point.

Wonderful!

You need to use the direct links to the file ending with the file extension (.webp or .gif). Otherwise, you are asking it to embed a whole webpage, which is not possible. You can find the direct link by right clicking on the image and pressing copy image link.

Here are the proper embeds, if these don't work, then jerboa doesn't support embedding animated images.

Hey, to embed properly you need to use the direct link ending with .mp4. Otherwise, only a thumbnail of the video will be shown. You will find the direct link by clicking on the dropdown that appears when you hover the video at imgchest.com. Here is a proper embed of your video.
