If you want to really learn what you're doing, try info coreutils

You do realize I'm not defending rich people, right? There was no such thing in what I wrote.

What I did was describe what happens when a society experiences systemic collapse.

Without the structure, the rich get richer faster, and the poor die faster, that's all.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you expect... if an email service sends in the clear, the only place that can be fixed is at the service itself.

Having the inbox for these accounts encrypted would seem to be important though, so that you can maintain control of them.

Do you know what happens when societal structure collapses?

People with power and wealth accumulate more power and wealth.

People with the means and willingness to do violence acquire power and wealth from the vulnerable.

People without power, wealth and the means to do violence die.

So when it comes to encryption for digital data there are really two concerns:

1. encrypted at rest
2. encrypted in transit

Your options for encrypted email providers are limited:

• https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_webmail_providers#Features

and Protonmail seems incorrect for this because it largely wouldn't be encrypted mail.

I'm curious why you think so?

Proton's inboxes are encrypted, so that's (1) handled.

For (2), Proton-to-Proton emails are automatically encrypted. Proton-to-WKD-enabled-services are also automatically encrypted:

Proton also supports automatic external key discovery with Web Key Directory (WKD). This means that emails sent to other providers which use WKD will be automatically encrypted with OpenPGP as well, without the need to manually exchange public PGP keys with your contacts.

And finally, emails to non-secure services can be encrypted, but you must provide the decryption password to the receiver through some other method. These emails can also be configured to automatically delete after a set expiration time.

This is the most feature-complete encrypted email service that I'm aware of, it basically covers all cases that it is possible for Proton to cover on their own service, anything more would require cooperation from the other service(s). No email service could possibly force an inbound email to be encrypted in transit, the sending service has to do that, and that's really the only part that Proton doesn't have a feature for (because it's impossible). If encryption is your concern, I don't think there are any better options right now.

Is that a new club on Dean Street?

Are... are the liberals in the room with us right now?

I don't give a fuck about our soft power.

This is a shortsighted and narrow-minded point of view - unless it's just a misunderstanding of the term. Part of this "soft power" is just having international friends who will work with us, negotiate with us, and cooperate in efforts such as combating human trafficking and ransomware, both of which the US plays a large role in. These relationships are important for the internal stability of the US. We can't limit our focus to internal issues only, that is a losing strategy.

While I get the Microshaft hate, it's still a major part of enterprise computing and it's not going away anytime soon. Both the .NET platform and .NET Core are open source, so rebuilding Windows on them would necessarily make it a more open system, which could only be a good thing.

At conception, yes, there is no sexual differentiation. In humans the SRY protein is responsible for a fetus developing male sexual characteristics. The effects of this gene are expressed after week 6 of development:

SRY gene effects normally take place 6–8 weeks after fetus formation which inhibits the female anatomical structural growth in males. It also works towards developing the secondary sexual characteristics of males.

That is, at least a month and a half after conception.

Technically everything moves at c (the speed of light) through spacetime, all the time. Most objects that have mass spend the majority of their motion in the time part, and thus move relatively slowly in space. If an object moves fast in space (where fast is a significant fraction of c) then it moves noticeably slower in time because the total spacetime vector value is always c.

Photons, being massless, do not move through time at all, and move through space at c.

Conception is literally the point when the sperm fertilizes the egg:

Conception (or fertilization) is when sperm and an egg join together.

At that point it's not anything, it's just a fertilized egg. Assigning a sex to it makes no sense at all.

I think this is actually possible. The (terribly inconvenient and piecemeal) change from Control Panel to Settings has involved making a lot of the Windows configuration options accessible through PowerShell and .NET (which is actually a good thing - it makes it much easier to administrate a system remotely via command prompt vs RDP, and it makes it easier to configure the system programmatically). It's not complete yet, but I could see that in the future the Windows user environment is entirely built on top of .NET, at which point you could theoretically run it on any OS that supports .NET.

All aboard for institutional collapse. Next stop, burning every form of social support to the ground.

But Trump won the propaganda game.

Rupert Murdoch and Sinclair Broadcast Group won the propaganda game. Trump is a useful tool for them, he gives them operational control over tax, budget and regulatory policy. Murdoch has been laying ground for this since the Reagan administration.

you have to be pretty dense to think that there is any meaningful difference between how Kamala and Trump would have handled Palestine.

This is just blatantly disingenuous. It is not aligned with reality. You're either delusional or you're pushing a false narrative intentionally.

Ah, but he does need something... continual attention and praise. Narcissists gonna narcissist.

Give'em the disease then sell'em the cure.

He could pressured the party to take away Manchin and Sinema's committee assignments.

This would've just handed control of Congress over to the Republicans due to losing their votes.

He could have gone after them for insider trading.

This would've required an act of Congress, as there's no executive authority regarding such matters.

He could have gone after Manchin's daughter for price gouging insulin,

This might be ethically justified but it's outside the scope of the office of the president.
