It’s completely illegal.

Who’s gonna do something about it? The FBI?

I do self host a bunch of stuff but i really don’t want to run my own email :(

A lot of Nazis were supposedly born in 1988…

But in this specific case, i believe him.

They did delete the posts, at least. Not great but at least an acknowledgement that maybe this isn’t a good look for the company.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. (Fwiw I’ve seen fascist types use 88 and 1488 outside the US, too. “88” is technically German. It can have begin meaning outside the US/The West in general, though.)

I’d still go with proton over Google. Google is also on board with fascism. Maybe not as enthusiastic about it but I’m not sure that’s a difference.

That said, looking for alternatives may be good.

That’s naive. I’m not ditching proton yet, personally, but this does shake my confidence in them.

The Biden government was targeting them, though. Kind of. Various companies were facing challenges from the administration. I think the difference is: If they suck Trump’s dick enough he’ll leave them alone. Biden was less likely to do that. Or probably that’s their view of it, anyway. Somehow big business seems to view Trump as a “rational actor” while they view Biden as the opposite.

Something something TOS Mirror Universe episode…

…88 is a red flag. Generally that’s a bad number.

If the app is running on the same machine Windows is you haven’t gone far enough, that’s all i’ll say.

They are banned (or they used to be, looks like there were some legal changes recently) from being firefighters after they’re released, so…

They used to claim gay people caused hurricanes, too. Same fucking bigotry for decades.

We saw a very sophisticated attack on Linux earlier this year with the XZ exploit. That stuff is terrifying and the sort of thing people should be worried about. SELinux is tame, by comparison.

sudo !!

Will also run the previous command with sudo, fwiw.

Yeah, Bush did jack shit while his minions ruined everything. The show may be better this time but that doesn’t mean it won’t be destructive. Still, we can hope.

Let’s not forget, on that note: Biden picking him was bad but so was Obama nominating him to the SCOTUS to begin with. Replacement for Scalia or not, we see what that led to. Garland getting on the Court wouldn’t really be making a difference there either.

I mean, getting rid of Franken was reasonable. Refusing to challenge the Republican creeps has… well… resulted in a government of mostly creeps and that’s not where i want to be. (Admittedly that specific piece is not specifically the Democratic Party’s fault, though they could have done more. Not using the moral leverage they got by booting Franken was an unforced error.)

Jesus fucking Christ i want to schedule a hysterectomy and i don’t even have one of those.

I’m glad to see i’ve been pronouncing it right all these years.

The Dems don’t even play by the rules. They play by some made up rules that exist only in their heads and boil down to “you’re not allowed to oppose the Republicans in any way that matters”. There’s tons of legal and ethical stuff Biden could have done in the last four years and here we are, sitting on our asses in the sinking ship, waiting for the water to rush in and drown us all.
