I'm also sick of hearing about Swiss privacy laws. Their intelligence service got busted covering for a US and German spy front operation in Switzerland. If it happened once, I promise it has happened before and since.
Edit for those who can't click: a front company in Switzerland sold fake encrypted communications services around the world for years, possibly decades, with the assistance of Swiss intelligence agencies.
On the Nintendo page for it, it says the motion controlled games require a joycon, but those games are disabled for online play. Maybe there will be an option to disable them for local play too?
They aren't burning fossil fuels. They're burning CHOOH2, which is the product of a genetically engineered plant.
Everything else has already been addressed by others. It's a dystopia. Public transit exists in universe, but it's very dangerous (as is the rest of the city). The corporate solution is to upsell you cars.
I think maybe the description is a bit harsh, but for real, they eagerly helped prevent or overturn just about any social policy that didn't benefit them. And now we're stuck with the consequences.
I know a boomer couple that is extremely conservative. Lived in a nice house that got foreclosed on when the guy took out a loan and couldn't pay it back. They berated their kids for being "failures" their whole lives.
Their kids are too poor to help them and the social services they opposed or helped gut won't either. At least they have some bootstraps to pull themselves up by.
Yeah, I was thinking about changing over, because while I like PopOS, it has some issues on my rig. It wasn't as troublesome as Fedora, but laggy animations, Pop Shop crashing, and its very outdated version of GNOME were starting to frustrate me.
I'm actually testing EndeavorOS in a live environment right now to get a feel for it! I've always been hesitant to try Arch in any form because my main Linux buddy warned me it was a quick way to ruin your system.
I use this PC a lot, so I have no problem updating it several times a week or more. So fingers crossed I don't screw it up lol.
The most mask off one they had was the short they made celebrating Robert E. Lee. Unironically did the "slavery wasn't that bad" bit in it. And there was a whole "Lee heroically killed John Brown and ended that evil abolitionist revolt".
Naturally this has made them DeSantis' preferred curriculum.
You're right, in a weird, and very uncomfortable way, it's been liberating to know that libs never gave a shit. It's the truth, and it hurts, but at least I can plan for it, rather than wait for help that'll never arrive.
That tracks. And to be frank, I don't know if they're wrong. Globally, it looks like neoliberalism is crumbling, including in America. The rise of modern fascist movements and the end of democratic pretense in conservative parties is a testament to that fact.
And as bad as liberalism has been, it's kind of a "devil you know" going up against one that will be even worse. It's a race to the bottom for us.
I think you captured their sentiment perfectly. Red states bother them, and their solution is increasingly to let the red states have their way. And I fear, when people like us start bothering them to, you know, defend our rights, we'll get ignored.
I mean, fuck, union activists and BLM protestors already got that very same treatment. They'd rather live oblivious to this country's problems than address them
I thought I was going insane with Fedora. Literally every flatpack I tried had major issues. Went back to an ubuntu-based distro after a month of fix attempts.
It's got updates from earlier this year. It appears to be updated periodically since it was first written. Some sections are old, while others are fairly new.
Self hosted email is its own can of worms. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone outside of experienced IT people. You'll end up blacklisted before you send your first email if you do anything wrong (and there's a lot that can go wrong), and it doesn't solve any security problems email has.
Anything sent over email just isn't private. That goes for Proton customers when they send or receive anything from a non-Proton address too. The one thing privacy email providers can actually do is keep your inbox from being scanned by LLMs and advertisers. That doesn't prevent the inboxes and outboxes of your contacts from being scanned, though.
If you use email, the best thing you can do is be mindful of what kinds of information you send through it. Use aliases via services like simple login or anonaddy when possible. Having a leaked email is a security vulnerability. Once bad actors have your email, they now have half of what they need to breach multiple accounts.
