  • people around you choose them

    The ancient Romans did not like Christians and therefore one of their favorite entertainments was to gather in amphitheaters and watch as defenseless Christians were thrown into a cage with tigers and torn apart. People received positive emotions, it united the spirit of the nation, and children also had fun. Another example is that after a shipwreck, people on a boat wandered in the ocean for several days and were starving, having no food, they decided that it was better to die alone than to die together and ate a young boy. Then they were rescued. These are real examples of how your utilitarian philosophy is disadvantaged and its shortcomings.


  • I agree. The real problem is that most people are not aware of this. I see a lot of nationalist propaganda online that advocates for using “European private services”. Although, for now, some European countries (mostly Germany) have excellent services for preserving privacy (email, mastodon instances, lemmy instances, etc), the EU’s privacy legislation is deteriorating, and the issue of the lack of “confidential” services located outside the EU is becoming important. I haven’t found a single popular confidential email provider with servers outside the EU. As for those who might mention Iceland, it’s worth noting that they have clear plans to join the EU in the near future.


  • About if it is possible that goverment is interested - I don’t know if you’re Polish or familiar with the situation in Poland, but currently, a trial is underway in Poland, initiated by the pseudo-liberal opposition, regarding the illegal surveillance of journalists and independent political candidates in the 2019 elections using Pegasus. This surveillance was approved by national Polish courts. If a framework had existed at that time, they might have been able to gather much more compromising evidence on political opponents much faster.

    Regarding your opinion that the government doesn’t crack down on criticism on the internet, it’s worth noting that the Polish Minister of Justice still insists on the maximum criminal punishment for two women who showed a depiction of the Virgin Mary in rainbow colors, as he claims it’s an insult to religion. Since the ruling ultra-right party in Poland is a clearly clerical party with strong ties to Catholicism and has repeatedly used Catholic themes in their speeches, for them, it’s evidently a priority to eradicate dissent in the country. The Minister of Justice’s actions clearly confirm this.

    I also use the term ‘government’ in relation to judicial investigations deliberately, as Poland has been subject to EU sanctions due to the government’s force on the judicial system












  • As far as I know our contractual law prevent being liable for damage caused by users own usage of a hardware or software. This is why tor browser developers arent in trial as liable for some scams that some users do using their software - because of their contract policy. So this excuse is jot valid - they locked bootloader jot because they are obligated or fear trial just because they do not luke private os which prevent them from harvesesting users data
