Ah. That’s too bad :(

Bro you can just install Postmarket OS or Mobian on the thing. Even put plasma mobile. Maybe have a USB-C display connected? I don’t know if that would work.
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 5 days ago:
I think what they mean is that “dark matter” is just a name that scientists gave to a phenomenon they have yet to understand. It’s a variable in a math problem that represents something that’s there, that influences the whole system, but we don’t quite yet know what it is.
If my memory is correct, one of these problems is the mass of the universe. It doesn’t quite all add up. So they made up this dark matter to explain it. It’s the missing matter that we can’t quite observe but makes it all make sense.

That thing would already have a broken cracked screen if that was mine and it started displaying ads.

- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 1 week ago:
A mix of water and vinegar in a spray bottle is best. Maybe toilet bown cleaner for the toilet bowl and maybe some CLR occasionally to remove mineral buildup in the shower or bath.

“Proton must comply with Swiss law,” Protonmail founder and CEO Andy Yen said on Twitter. “As soon as a crime is committed, privacy protections can be suspended and we’re required by Swiss law to answer requests from Swiss authorities.”
It doesn’t matter what country the service is from. If they have a court order and there’s a warrant for someone’s information, they have to provide it. You think they wouldn’t do that in Germany? Canada? Finland?

Has that ever even happened???
- Comment on YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations 2 weeks ago:
I’m already migrating all my shit to Proton and it’s fine for me, so I won’t change providers again unless something really bad happens.
Also, data sovereignty in Canada isn’t much better than in the U.S. I’d rather have my stuff stored in a place with better privacy rights than Canada.

Please explain to me how Fastmail is more secure if you can easily set up any client without encryption? Or am I missing something? And when Fastmail sends or receives email, isn’t it also sent in plain text because of the SMTP protocol anyway?
- Comment on YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations 2 weeks ago:
I never had any problems with their Android apps. The notifications have always worked for me.
And of course email is plain text and is stored on other servers when you send it. It’s always been that way. Whatever service you use it’s going to be the same problem. This isn’t Proton specific. So I don’t get your point here.
However, whatever you receive and keep, that’s encrypted and no one can read it. And that’s the whole point of having a secure encrypted email service like Proton.

Yes the CEO is an idiot for having said that one statement once about supporting a Trump appointed candidate and doubling down on what he said. But he didn’t donate to anyone’s campaign, he didn’t donate to any PACs or any other political organization. He doesn’t actively support Trump other than that one time. And he’s committed to protecting my privacy at all costs. On top of that, their line or services is one of the most complete next to Google.
Honestly it’s not that big a deal compared to Google that financed Trump’s campaign and it’s CEO actually being present at his inauguration, executing his every order, and being zionist enablers and pro-genocide, doing deals with Isreal to provide all kinds of services and spreading their propaganda on their platform and erasing all evidence of said genocide.

I’m currently migrating to Proton mail. It’s comlicated because I have nearly 25 years of gmail use, using it for everything requiring an email address.

- Comment on Greta Thunberg Steps Down from Gaza Flotilla Steering Group 1 month ago:
According to the newspaper, she believes that the organization’s communication focuses too much on internal matters. She is still reported to continue the sailing trip to Gaza.
“We all have a role: Mine will not be in the governing committee, but as an organizer and participant”, says Thunberg according to Il Manifesto.
According to the organization, the intention of the trip is to “break the illegal siege” of the Gaza Strip by opening a humanitarian corridor by sea.

Ooooof.
I made a huge mistake. I was completely ignorant of that fact. I’m a dumbass.
They were right to call me out on it.
I apologize to everyone.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 2 months ago:
Hey, honest question.
This comes from this video where Snoop made up that word to insult people who performed at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Is it a racially charged word? I thought it was just a made word up by him. If it is, that’s my mistake and I apologize. I didn’t mean any harm to any community.

- Comment on TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo 5 months ago:
I understand your frustration and I, too, thought that blocking went both ways before seeing your post.
If you encounter someone who is harassing you and attacking your reputation without your knowledge and down voting your whole history, you should gather the proof and contact your instances mods. There’s a very good chance they’ll ban them either temporarily or permanently from the instance. Or contact the mods from their instance as well.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
