Very interesting insights. Funnily I use all of the services you cautiously recommend, including GrapheneOS, but not HarmonyOS, hard pass on that one. As a German I am also legally required to prefer Tuta. :) I still have that OG 1€/Month contract.
Edit: Your last point is a good idea, although I think the more popular an open source app is, the less likely it is to be malicious. A lot more eyes on it and the xz backdoor was caught pretty much immediately.
I have this bad gut feeling about Signal and Proton, I have no evidence tho.
Great name
What do you respond to “Fuck X” , if thats what you’re talking about? Otherwise I have stated my reasoning. If one side isn’t willing to give up anything, it isn’t really a discussion
Seems like a very unbiased encyclopedia. If a methodology of analysis is skewed towards presenting what the author intended it is pretty much useless. I haven’t read it yet, this is just a gut feeling, maybe I’ll check it out tomorrow.
I think we have come to some kind of a conclusion that neither of us is willing to part from. Maybe I am the idiot and wrong, but I’m good on this for now. Maybe I’ll have some more energy another day.
This is just going to result in me pulling up a source that you don’t deem reputable, only for you to pull up a source that I don’t deem reputable.
You are confidently wrong, pepe the frog is originally from a stoner comic. Besides, I am married, so the whole incel thing doesn’t exactly check out.
Edit: Very revealing how absolutely everything I post is downvoted by default, despite this comment being irrefutable fact.
Fundamentally disagreeing on facts.
And this is the point where any further discussion makes no sense. Goodbye.
Centrism is rejection of political extremes. It is nuance and critically questioning everything. It means criticizing your own side. Contrary to popular belief It is the opposite of being a coward, because everyone will hate you.
Well, thank god China and Russia don’t do this.
I think that is also a very one-sided view on this issue. The truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle. Germany for example has a lot of social services (universal healthcare, unemployment securities, etc.) and is still doing exceptionally well.
Neither system is perfect. Physical goods (except resources, food and medicine) can become obsolete, demand may drop significantly (especially for luxury products), can be boycotted if you piss off citizens of a rival country enough and they are subject to tariffs, which is obviously relevant with the arrogant dickhead in the white house.
Edit: I think it’s still fair to say that GDP is certainly good rough indication of how well a country is doing economically. Otherwise what would be the point if everyone thinks it is useless?
Notice how everyone has given up on any discussion with you guys? I am the one dumbass who still occasionally shows up to get shat on. So be happy you still got me, otherwise you’d just be jerking each other off. Here I’ll even help you guys out and downvote myself.
Yes, that’s right, you have figured out what all international elite spies couldn’t. You, some random guy, have undeniable proof that every country you don’t like manipulates their GDP.
Keep the bootloader unlocked and adb enabled in case you mess up.
None of these are verifiably private. SimpleX, Matrix and PGP encrypted messages (you can use any messenger here) are some truly private options.
For Proton it is the “tech bro”-y feeling and for Signal it is wondering about financing. Also, if you are paying for your own audits there is an obvious conflict of interest.
