Actually, buying a new electric car is better for the environment than keeping your current car.

Not when the planet and future generations are at stake.

Aside from even that, I rolled down my window this morning on my way to work to enjoy some fresh air and I got a big blast of toxic exhaust fumes. It's literally poisoning the air around us. IMO people's right to not breathe toxic fumes is more important than someone else's right to drive a gas car just because they like it.

We aren't there yet in terms of cost or electric charger availability, but once we are we should 100% ban gas cars.

Ah, nice "source"

Well, yeah? China is a hostile nation to us. They currently have over one million Uighurs in literal concentration camps as well.

They're the Nazi Germany of Asia, and yet people don't understand why we should stop trading with them since it will affect our sweet, sweet low prices.

Because they want to frame someone else.

Ah, makes sense.

What I am find curious about this is if a recovery email would have any weight in court. I can add whatever recovery email I want to an account. It doesn't have to be mine.

Which also isn't private. In fact, it's the opposite of private since it's a public blockchain.

No, Proton does get a free ride here. The information they provided was the recovery email address, which they were required to do by law.

The only data they don't encrypt (can see) is that which they absolutely need to store unencrypted. If they encrypt your recovery email address, then... they can't send you any recovery emails to it since they can't see it.

This is 100% the fault of the user.

All any service can do is give you the best tools available to maintain your privacy, but they can't stop you from shooting yourself in the foot.

Firefox is also great for privacy, but if I use it to fill out some info on some phishing sites then that's not a them problem.

A Password-protected Email is an email that requires a password to open it. It’s a way you can send a secure, end-to-end encrypted email to anyone who isn’t on Proton Mail.

SearXNG is just a meta search engine. It uses Google and DDG under the hood, among others. How is it possible that it's better?

If you send them the message in plain text they have no way of verifying you aren't just making it up to get someone you don't like banned. Keeping it encrypted means they know the sender wrote it.

Ah nice to hear it's fixed!

If it's with asymmetric encryption, wouldn't it be possible for the report button to generate a key based on their private key which can only be used to decrypt the given message?

What do you mean?

I have both laptops and they're amazing.

I was Batch 1 and mine works perfectly. I love it.

I own both a 13 and 16 inch. Absolutely love them, especially the 16 inch.

What I'm perplexed at is - what if I went to the board and said "I have a guaranteed way to increase profit by 150 million - just pay me 50 million a year and fire Bitchai". I would legit do my best to make great decisions for 50 million.

Why doesn't the board care about cutting costs by cutting CEO pay? I can't imagine any difference that would really justify Bitchai 's pay difference.

I also cannot imagine they are all part of some secret conspiracy where they all know each other and like each other so much that they just want to pay him that money because they're buddies.

Wouldn't $150 million be more than enough justification to hire someone else?

What I don't understand is why does competition matter for workers but somehow not for CEOs? I kind of understand and agree in the free market to an extent - if you're fine with hiring a dev for $100 instead of another dev for $1000, and you're okay with the difference in quality / time / etc. then go for it. But where is all this competition happening for CEOs?

Surely someone must be as qualified as Bitchai and willing to do the same job for a measly 100 million a year instead of his 200 million.
