imkali,

people having a life and being able to afford to change their lifestyle away from fossil fuels is more important at the moment.

we really need more education surrounding the issues and better alternatives, once everyone realises how much damage cars cause and once they realise/once they have a viable alternative (i.e. trains) then people will start to switch away. in the mean time people still need their cars to get to work, because that is how the US is designed, and expensive fuel will only result in them having less spare change, rather than them actually using their car less.

sure, if everyone had enough money that they could afford to change up the way they do things or if everyone had a job that they can do from home or if everyone lived within walking distance from their job, then maybe you would have a valid argument. people are much less likely to go on a road trip, for example, if its gonna cost them 3x more than they expect it to cost, but people need to go to work to survive.

imkali,

yeah, people are so ignorant. how do people think joking about this bullshit is okay.

imkali,

it might be easier to downvote, but its not easier for you to write 2 paragraphs and still not explain it.

the joke is about rape.

thats 5 words.

imkali,

and later,

He knew the truck would be an eye-catcher in Maine. But he wanted it for its uniqueness.

“It’s so ugly it’s cute. It’s like a French bulldog,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the most attractive car in the world, but it’s different. And I like to be different.”

Sounds like an avoidable problem, that Proton didn’t have a whole lot to fight it with. Obviously they could/should have fought it in court, but this could have been avoided if the individual simply didn’t link a recovery email and/or didn’t share the same email across Apple products + protesting. Although, the article does point out that if you sign up over Tor or a VPN it requires a verification email, which sucks- though you could just use a temporary email address to get around it. As CaptObvious pointed out (literally @CaptObvious lmfao) the reporter pointed out Proton rejects temporary emails.

Key information:

The core of the controversy stems from Proton Mail providing the Spanish police with the recovery email address associated with the Proton Mail account of an individual

individual is suspected of being a member of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalonia’s police force) and of using their internal knowledge to assist the Democratic Tsunami movement.

Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

This case is particularly noteworthy because […] complex interplay between technology firms, user privacy, and law enforcement.

requests were made under the guise of anti-terrorism laws

primary activities of the Democratic Tsunami involving protests and roadblocks

Proton Mail’s compliance with these requests is bound by Swiss law

Comment from Proton:

We are aware of the Spanish terrorism case involving alleged threats to the King of Spain, but as a general rule we do not comment on specific cases. Proton has minimal user information, as illustrated by the fact that in this case data obtained from Apple was used to identify the terrorism suspect. Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper OpSec, such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method. Note, Proton does not require adding a recovery address as this information can in theory be turned over under Swiss court order, as terrorism is against the law in Switzerland.

imkali,

Ah, my bad, I’ll edit my comment.

imkali,

They’re not perfect, but they’re nothing like Gmail. What email provider do you suggest?

imkali,

Sounds like the best option to me.

imkali,

That was PirateSoftware, and yes, but that was for Sony’s website not for the Steam page.

Still shit though.

imkali,

Australia is on the way.

imkali,

fix the homelessness problem or trans rights issues or the home heating problem or improve the looks of the cities or fix the wealth gap or fix NHS or lessen sexism or improve public schools or lower emissions or improve nuclear power or reduce coal or subsidise renewables or improve privacy or fix all the issues created by the UK government over the last 30 years or help fix problems caused by colonisation in ireland or do literally anything useful for once? nah, too expensive.

a £230,000,000 mass surveillance program akin to that of russia or the ccp? of course we can!

Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is (www.theguardian.com)

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

imkali,

Biden somewhat dances around the idea of helping Palestinians, while Trump avoids referring to them as people. Both are terrible by any metric, but one is miles ahead.

imkali,

From official F-Droid & IzzyOnDroid repos (except for Molly):

  1. AegisSecure + encrypted 2FA
  2. Calculator++Powerful scientific calculator
  3. Clipious or FreeTube AndroidClipious: Privacy focused invidious client that syncs with your account and lets you pick backup instances in case yours goes down FreeTube: Ad-blocking cross-platform privacy-focused YouTube client that imo looks better than NewPipe + Clipious
  4. FluffyChat (if you use Matrix) Secure, private (although not as good as Signal), client for Matrix (the messaging service) that imo looks better than Element and lets you seperate rooms + DMs, which some clients don’t let you do iirc as well as a couple other features like pinned messages and video calls.
  5. HeliBoardBest open source keyboard I’ve used so far
  6. KeePassDXKeePass compatible password manager
  7. Moshidon and/or MastifyMastodon clients. Mastify looks really good but is till in Alpha releases so is missing quite a bit of features. Moshidon is extremely feature rich.
  8. MollySecurity-focused fork of Signal
  9. PodverseMy personal favourite podcast app, run by 1 person afaik with a lot of free features, or a very cheap paid plan that is basically just a donation because it only adds like 2 features that I can remember. Has a very generous trial too and the dev has said if you can’t afford it they’re willing to adjust pricing for you.
  10. QUIK SMSBest actively maintained, open source SMS client.
  11. TwineBeautiful cross-platform RSS feed app.
imkali,

Musk is a cunt.

imkali,

To add to this: if you take ibuprofen regularly, remember to eat before taking it. Taking it on an empty stomach a handful of times is completely fine, but if you do it too much can cause stomach ulcers (not insanely common as far as I’m aware though.).

Anyway, this person is right, take some ibuprofen and rest.

How do I set a default app in Android (12+) other than the option provided? (lemmy.world)

I use a Pixel 6 Pro with Android 14 installed, and I cannot use Proton Mail instead of Gmail for email links. Whenever I click Proton Mail, Gmail is still the top option the next time I open the same email link. I don’t want to reset app preferences, as I have too many notification and app usage settings set for my apps. Is...

imkali,

If you disable “open supported links” for gmail it should fix it.

imkali,

Chill E

imkali,

Thanks for the info, I’ll look into it.

imkali,

LNP = Liberal National Party = Right-wing Australian party

imkali,

This explains it pretty well callmebymygender.top

imkali,

What adblocker are you using? It doesn’t appear for me.

imkali,

I’m using Firefox + uBlock Origin and don’t have a paywall.

imkali,

Ah, my bad. I thought that OP meant a bot to convert torrents to DDL.

imkali,

yeah, youre probably right
