Why not say “sexual abuse”, “paedophilia”, “abuse”, “assault”? “Father bad touch” is almost ironic, like “pew pew” for gun and a grape emoji for rape

I agree but have to downvote the ridiculous tiktok self-censoring. This isn’t corporate social media, stop with the newspeak

Source on the first statement?

In some cases, like water, it’s more about when the plastic will start noticeably altering the taste and properties of the food

Masks and shades are about as much as you can do without being the weirdo. It at least shields you from some of the less resource intensive threats such as other civilians trying to record you for social media, but real mass surveillance, like China level, will still work

They also generally come from a place of justified distrust of modern day mass (and sometimes even specialized) media, which makes it harder to reason with them.
Much of the problem is the false assumption that their dumb internet forums and influencers aren’t being manipulative as well, by different and more ruthless actors… Yeah, dude, the government does shady stuff and manipulates people and narratives, but Andrew Tate telling you to cheat on your wife while exposing your kids to polio isn’t better is it?

There’s stuff considered “gay” that differ between western countries, too, or between generations.
There’s a famous clip of Kobe slapping Steph Curry’s ass as a “nice shot” kind of gesture… That wouldn’t fly in Brazil where I live. Older guys famously walked around naked in locker rooms, too, and as far as I can tell that is mega weird nowadays.
Can’t forget naked sauna with the boys in northern Europe too

I get bigger burgers not for more food but for more satisfying bites. A tall stacked smash burger or a juicy pink tall burger are way more satisfying to bite into

At work and in tests you’ll be using bloomberg terminals, risk software, etc only available on Windows, so why bother?

Unviable for economics and finance in my experience. Excel is absolutely mandatory for these

Damn, that’s a high bar to clear. Almost none of the distros I know pass their criteria

I’m not trying to be mean, but I didn’t really understand much of that. Can you translate from your native language on DeepL or something?

Can someone clue me in to why Mint wouldn’t be “libre”? What does “libre” mean in this context exactly?

They can and most of the time they do complain about free apps

Nice! Will start using. I ran out of Proton aliases this year and have been reusing some of them, which sucks. Thank you

People say it is because Proton has collaborated with the government, but it just hasn’t happened yet because Tuta isn’t big enough to warrant such a thing. There’s almost no way to prevent such a thing from happening with email providers, it just isn’t private communication at all

GrapheneOS is absolutely niche. You have to go out of your way to buy a Pixel (which in many countries isn’t even available), choose the bank that has a working app on Graphene, etc

In regards to addy, are my messages private in relation to the service or does it only serve to keep my anonymity to other threat actors?

The main reason why I use open source is precisely because I don’t need or want to worry about this crap. The software is as much property of humanity as it is of the creator, it is basically just knowledge
