2 years agoI strongly recommend Mullvad. Exceptional performance, wireguard support and if you’re really paranoid about anonymity you can literally send them money via post.

Even for the technically literate, running a mail server is an ongoing nightmare. If you think it’s easy, you’re not doing it right.
From a UX perspective I disagree. 1password wins at UX hands down but Bitwarden is a very close second and IMO has better privacy guarantees.
Security is useless if it’s too difficult. Despite liking Bitwarden I am a 1Password subscriber and happy with my choice.

Sorry, all you get is images of a maxi pad to indicate enormous damage for what was likely a graze.
An attempt on a former president’s life is a big deal, whether I think he’s a human dumpster fire or not.
However, the way he played this up was and is ridiculous. He didn’t need to prove anything. Someone shot at him and that’s not in doubt. Instead he chose to milk it and I personally find that ludicrous given the circumstances.
7·3 years agoI’d prefer they make it fatter if the battery would last more than a day as consequence.
A former treasurer of Australia solved it. You just need to get a good job.
I used Netscape “back in the day”. With some interim transition attempts including the likes of Opera, I eventually switched to Chrome because it was genuinely more featureful and faster.
I was a happy Chrome user until they decided to deprecate manifest V2 and fuck up my ad blocker, at which point I switched to Firefox and haven’t looked back.
Everything in this industry is circular I guess.
My problem is with the influence that a hostile foreign state actor has with TikTok.
Google is an independent company; I’m 99% certain their motivation is to make money and I’m confident their algorithms are tailored purely for engagement and profit. Whilst I’m sure they have some back room deals with US intelligence organisations I suspect that it’s a case of providing data vs providing influence (though I would not rule it out).
TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government. That’s not up for debate; if you have an entity in China it has to work that way. Imagine the damage they could do if they actively decided to increase, for example, messages of reunification with Taiwan in their algorithm by just 1% on a global scale. That frightens me and I’m not convinced it isn’t happening already on specific topics of concern to China’s foreign policy.
And that’s putting aside the amount of data that the Chinese are getting without even exerting any influence. They can likely discern worldwide sentiment on a range of topics and adjust political posture accordingly.
I’m not saying Google is perfect. I hate social media in general for the way it’s warping the zeitgeist. But I personally consider TikTok to be a huge threat to the world.
“They all looked like Silicon Valley startups,”
This hits too close to home.
Name and shame the airline.
I fly a lot for work, internationally most of the time. Haven’t seen this in many years.
Where do you think GPT got this data?

Just beware of their reclamation policy:
I’d say more likely to be able to declare a capital loss on taxes.
What industry do you work in? Or of more relevance: what industry experience do you have?
1·3 years agoI’m confused. I’ve been using shellcheck for many years. What’s the point of controversy here?
Why are you searching for a solution to a problem you don’t have?
There’s nothing wrong with systemd.
