Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…

When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you’re all standing around like “nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!” Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.

Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)

Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China.

What? No.

Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!

Funny that you emphasized this word, which has become such a tell of ChatGPT (along with “delve” and “crucial”).

Those charts are hilarious: wow, it gives the right answer 62.5% of the time and only makes up completely false answers 37.1% of the time! It’s like Russian roulette, but worse!

They control moderation, as they also do on Reddit. I don’t know about Lemmy but I have personally been shadowbanned on their Reddit sub. They can’t do that on Mastodon.

It was still a completely naive and idiotic thing to say and doesn’t show the forethought and strategic thinking that comes with being a good CEO, especially one of a service that could literally put people’s lives in danger if jeopardized.

They also can’t control the narrative on Mastodon like they do on Reddit and Lemmy through “volunteer mod” Nelizea. I’m glad I quit using them — they are becoming tech bro chuds (or maybe always were but just hid it better)

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2347/

It’s good, but not comparable to Premiere or Resolve. I’d compare it to Vegas maybe.

Sounds like a shitty bank.

I don’t think there’s much of a point unless person A actually wants to make a change in their habits. It’s like trying to convince someone to switch to Linux.

I don’t know about fitgirl specifically, I don’t actually pirate a lot of games.

It wouldn’t take much; they had multiple breaches and other problems last fall, seemingly due to very avoidable reasons.

How is it possible that it draws 100W at idle? What is it even doing?

Oh nice, I’ll give this a shot! I tried installing the EA app through Lutris — it worked, but I can’t install any games.

I use CachyOS on my gaming rig and it has been outstanding. The only ting that doesn’t work is the EA app.

After using Proton for a couple years I’ve come around to the POV that private email is a dead end. There was not a single occasion where the sender or recipient of any email was also using encryption. If I want encrypted comms I use Signal. Instead of Pass I went back to using Bitwarden.

The combination of AI, crypto wallet and CEO’s pro-MAGA comments (all within six months or so!) are why I quit Proton. They’ve completely lost the plot. I just want a reliable email service and file storage.
