I type like 1000 words, then I realized I’m gonna look so stupid if nobody reads it and it remains at 1 vote, so I just delete it before I embarass myself.
(I don’t care about upvotes, I just want to get the acknowledgement that someone read it so I know my time wasn’t wasted.)
Edit: I wish there was a “read” button. It’s for the times when you acknowledge reading it but you don’t like it enough to upvote it.
Can someone add this to Lemmy? 👀
So, by the supreme court?
Well, we’re fucked with this conservative-ass court. They already stuck down Colorado’s court ruling.
The problem is, the people who wrote the 14th amendment didn’t specify how that is supposed to be enforced.
Criminal conviction? Well trump was only convicted of a state charge of fraud, not insurrection.
Simple majority of congress? Republican congress could just ban democrats.
2/3 Supermajority of congress? It’ll never pass
Supreme court? Well, a majority of them is republican.
If its too easy to invoke it, it could be weaponized against progressive candidates. They’d just declare BLM protests as “insurrection” and ban them from the ballot.
No, but every rental unit in the US is now owned by Musk. 🙃
That’s the double edge sword of a lifetime apppintment, they are beholden to no one after getting appointed (nothing short of a 2/3 senate conviction or illegal autocoups)
Bruh, I know (as in an acquaintance, not someone I’m friends with) a “middle class” family which the parents are talking about not giving any inheritance to one of their children because he has mental health issues, the parent’s reasoning being because “they will get welfare anyways” and that “its a waste to give wealth to someone that can’t even appreciate it”.
Like wow, its crazy how people actually have this ableist idea that people who get welfare are somehow “lucky”.
Bitch that shit aint even enough to survive, I know its legally within their rights, but jesus christ, how cold hearted could you be.
But I don’t know them well enough to confront them, and I don’t think I’m in the right to confront them as an outsider. Oh well, I hope the kid grows up the hate the parents.
Edit: I think this is probably the same thought process the 1% rich also have. Like Elon and his Trans kid that Elon hates for some bigoted reason.
I don’t think changes anything. Hasan was detained by CBP, not ICE.
And you can’t exactly just abolish CBP. Most Americans still would want “secure borders”
And modern society to too entangled with the concept of the state and law enforcement that I don’t see any way of any law enforcement organization to just be abolished. There no political will to do so.
Most Americans lean liberal, not leftist.
Maybe so reforms and a “you can’t detain/arrest non-violent undocumented immigrants” rule but that’s the most I realistically see happening.
You abolish ICE, they are just gonna use CBP, FBI, National Guard, or whatever. I mean, if they are gonna violate laws, they will do so reguardless of what name/banner the Gestapo is labeled under.
Intellectuals are usually the most willing to resist authoritarianism.
That’s why they are usually one of the very early targets.
The germaphobia in me is trying to figure out this thought process… 🤔🧐
Excerpts from your third link https://www.wired.com/story/protonmail-amends-policy-after-giving-up-activists-data/
As usual, the devil is in the details—ProtonMail’s original policy simply said that the service does not keep IP logs “by default.” However, as a Swiss company, ProtonMail was obliged to comply with a Swiss court’s demand that it begin logging IP address and browser fingerprint information for a particular ProtonMail account.
According to multiple statements ProtonMail issued on Monday, it was unable to appeal the Swiss demand for IP logging on that account. The service could not appeal both because a Swiss law had actually been broken and because “legal tools for serious crimes” were used—tools that ProtonMail believes were not appropriate to the case at hand, but which it was legally require to comply with.
ProtonMail also operates a VPN service called ProtonVPN, and it points out that Swiss law prohibits the country’s courts from compelling a VPN service to log IP addresses. In theory, if Youth for Climate had used ProtonVPN to access ProtonMail, the Swiss court could not have compelled the service to expose its “real” IP address.
Proton did not voluntarily log IPs, they were under a lawful court order and were out of appeal options.
Like I said, no one running a service will go to jail for you. None.
Not ProtonVPN, not Mullvad, not IVPN, not Lemmy Instances.
If a legal court order is received, they will conply after they run out of appeals
Imagine you run one of these services, and you received a lawful order in your jurisdiction.
You can choose to turn over data or go to jail for a long time.
Would you go to jail to protect user privacy?
That’s why its not only a company’s privacy practices you need to worry about, but also the jurisdiction. Choose a service that’s is in a privacy friendly jurisdiction.
Also, this is about Protonmail, which is under different laws than ProtonVPN.
That’s because no one running a service will go to jail for you. None.
Not ProtonVPN, not Mullvad, not IVPN, not Lemmy Instances.
Imagine you run one of these, and you received a lawful order in your jurisdiction.
Turn over data or go to jail for a long time.
Would you go to jail to protect user privacy?
The only thing Proton does better is because they are under Swiss Jurisdiction, which has stricter control over when a court order can be issued. But if a court order goes to Proton, they can’t ignore it.
Also: Protonmail =/= ProtonVPN, they are under different laws. In Switzerland, Mail providers have to provide IP addresses upon a subpoena, VPN providers do not. If those users had used ProtonVPN to access their Protonmail, they’d be safe.
This is a privacy community lol, I think you know why people use throwaways.
privacyguides.org have been a reputable source of information, also you aren’t suppose to just click hyperlinks without hovering over it and verifying that it is a trustwothy link anyways.
Bruh, good luck trying to watch a youtube video, or even just browse a news article.
Tor only works for a small number of sites.
🤣 Absolute shitshow lmfao. Signal is not approved for war communications, that was a security breach (not to mention, adding the journalist), and he risked jepardizing his entire mission.
But on the other hand, having such incompetent fascists is a good thing for the resistance.
Is that the delivery of bacon for my quarter pounder?
So fresh that it hasn’t even been hunted yet.
According to privacyguides.org, Session is listed under this message:
These messengers do not have forward secrecy, and while they fulfill certain needs that our previous recommendations may not, we do not recommend them for long-term or sensitive communications. Any key compromise among message recipients would affect the confidentiality of all past communications.

Obviously Signal is the lesser evil, but don’t use Signal if you are planning a revolt is what I’m saying.
Capitalist mad at another Capitalist for… doing basic Capitalism stuff…
