Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don’t think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I’m using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I’m pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.

Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

Not sure why this isn’t a crosspost.

Yeah, that’s not how socialism is used in most of the world. It’s to the right of communism, to the left of social democratic, not really encountered the others enough to know where they stand, except anarchism is off on another axis. Communists may see socialism as a step towards them, but socialism doesn’t necessarily mean collectives, as other forms of ownership are accepted. Look at the principles of groups like Socialist International.

It’s more part of socialism than it is of liberalism! Liberals generally want the least property regulation needed for their system to work, whereas socialists want the means of production to be owned by the workers or users, depending what sort of socialists.

Are you confusing socialism with communism? Communism is more likely to say everything should be common property.

Sadly, but which of course doesn’t imply the reverse.

Ugggh, pass the mindbleach for that mental image!

You write like those things are incompatible and liberal socialists don’t exist in most other countries.

NYC has lots of foreign residents and visitors, maybe the most of any USA city, so isn’t a foreign-born mayor there more than merely ‘internal news’? It’s not like the mayoral election of Nowhere, North Dakota.

Blair’s government removed their permission to work while waiting for decision. That seems to have created an immoral incentive for decisions to be made very slowly at some later point, because if the government doesn’t decide, the ignorant can’t complain as much about refugees taking jobs.

8.8 million population, which probably means a bit less than 7 million potential voters because kids and others can’t vote and it’s a relatively young city. Only 5 million registered to vote at present.

So still 2 million is worryingly low, but not as bad as if there were 8m potential voters.

They’ve been owned!

Digital ownership? Games producers want to own players’ fingers now? I guess that’s slightly better than cutting their ears off.

De-googled phones exist, but they’re rooted or using a custom firmware. Usually, these phones spoof Google Play Services, replacing that layer with something called MicroG.

So root and flash your phone today!

Did they in this case?

You can create an access the inbox through Tor at protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion

That’s just such an easy link to memorise, isn’t it? Just like the New Emergency Number

infosec.pub appears to be in Hetzner Online GmbH’s Falkenstein hosting. They probably also own the hardware.

I’m sceptical. Name me a server and I’ll show you a company involved.

For sure, I know this, but privacy does not come first for any of them and it was wrong of Proton ever to say it did. To them, their survival comes before yours, so they will betray you to the Swiss courts if needed.

Here you go: https://proton.me/mail

Just scroll down. Each selling point is marked with title case text, followed by their reasoning.

I don’t find your earlier quote on that page anywhere.

Can you find me a way back machine link to their website where they told you that they aren’t subject to or otherwise do not comply with Swiss law?

Why would I do that? My claim is not that they ever said that explicitly, but that their marketing claimed ‘your privacy came first’ without any similar-size mention how it would be limited by Swiss law. It was not in their interest to explain that the Swiss courts can order them to track and shop French climate activists.

Run your own? Great, but you’ll almost certainly be getting a company to connect it up.

Publicly available from whom? Companies!

I may sometimes wish community-owned internet became the norm, but it didn’t, so companies are involved almost everywhere.
