Proton is using that as a marketing gimmick. Swiss banking secrecy laws have absolutely nothing to do with user privacy outside of that.

Proton has complied with and handed over user data on multiple occasions.

Yes there is encryption and they can’t see things, but they will hand over what metadata (IP address, device info, recovery email, payment data) they have whenever a Swiss court compels them too.

Respectfully, I am incapable of driving and need to get to doctors appointments and no longer live in an urban environment where cabs and public transportation is highly accessible.

It is what it is.

I spend way too much on my smart phone. That’s correctable, but I depend on Uber/Lyft. I think I would need to get a cheap android and just have the discipline to put only essential apps like ride share, maps, encrypted messenging and like nothing else. Not even email, Lemmy, bill pay, grocery delivery, etc

For years I would start reading the Hobbit all the way through Return of the King around Christmas, every year

Can someone help me understand? It honestly sounds like he really did it but very well could get off on a technicality which to me is fine. I’ve had so many loved ones kicked off health care during terminal diseases and I despise for-profit model of the industry.

But it really seems like he did it, yet I see so many people questioning that. I’m just curious why that is.

A scene from The Never Ending Story. They travel through the Swamp of Sadness.

To be fair, I assumed they cpy and pasted from an AI

Pence wouldn’t have lunch with a female unless his wife was also present. I know anyone could say that makes him even more likely, and it very well may be, but after all this time the man still has no skeletons. He’s likely actually that religious.

Anyone remember Cha-Cha?

Geordi wearing his mask wrong. There’s always one.

Here is the original.

I love using it for writing scripts that need to sanitize data. One example I had a bash script that looped through a csv containing domain names and ran AXFR lookups to grab the DNS records and dump into a text file.

These were domains on a Windows server that was being retired. The python script I had Copilot write was to clean up the output and make the new zone files ready for import into PowerDNS. Made sure the SOA and all that junk was set. Pdns would import the new zone files into a SQL backend.

Sure I could’ve written it myself but I’m not a python developer. It took about 10 minutes of prompting, checking the code, re-prompting then testing. Saved me a couple hours of work easy.

I use it all the time to output simple automation tasks when something like Ansible isn’t apropos

I got like 10 follows in three days from actual accounts. I’ve posted/replied just a few times and my avatar is Richard Simmons. I figured something was up

I always imagined him as the guy at the end of Road House where Patrick Swayze ripped his throat out and round-housed him into the pond. But he survived, left the redneckville and turns out half of his vocal cords was left intact.

And that’s the rub. Is she really ‘pro genocide’? That is the question

We’re not in a vacuum. Two things can be true. She can honestly be pro Israel but also hope the turds that are the Likud Party lose power, work to end the genocide, and find a two-state solution - that is, if Hamas and Bibi will allow it, which they won’t.

This binary all-or-nothing, zero sum bs is just toxic and ignorant.

They never organize, canvass, campaign… they never put in the work. It’s easy to sit on Twitter all day and disparage the Democratic Party (yes they have many flaws as well) and nothing else.

They’re lazy grifters.

What exactly did Jill Stein do with that $7 million for the recount? She was interviewed by Mehdi Hassan and he kept asking her why she won’t call out Putin when she has no problem calling out Bibi. Yes two things can be true at once. She just couldn’t explain why she refused to call Putin out on his war mongering and genocide.

It’s a huge tablet screen, probably running Android or if I had to guess. I haven’t bothered trying to look. Joining my friends in classes was fun and the mini social network aspect of it, especially during the lockdowns. But in the end the stationary bike aspect works and I dont have to pay to go to a studio somewhere
