Ah, nice “source”

Well, yeah? China is a hostile nation to us. The currently have over one million Uighurs in literal concentration camps as well.
They’re the Nazi Germany of Asia, and yet people don’t understand why we should stop trading with them since it will affect our sweet, sweet low prices.

Because they want to frame someone else.

What I am find curious about this is if a recovery email would have any weight in court. I can add whatever recovery email I want to an account. It doesn’t have to be mine.

Which also isn’t private. In fact, it’s the opposite of private since it’s a public blockchain.
- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 3 days ago:
No, Proton does get a free ride here. The information they provided was the recovery email address, which they were required to do by law.
The only data they don’t encrypt (can see) is that which they absolutely need to store unencrypted. If they encrypt your recovery email address, then… they can’t send you any recovery emails to it since they can’t see it.
This is 100% the fault of the user.
All any service can do is give you the best tools available to maintain your privacy, but they can’t stop you from shooting yourself in the foot.
Firefox is also great for privacy, but if I use it to fill out some info on some phishing sites then that’s not a them problem.

A Password-protected Email is an email that requires a password to open it. It’s a way you can send a secure, end-to-end encrypted email to anyone who isn’t on Proton Mail.

SearXNG is just a meta search engine. It uses Google and DDG under the hood, among others. How is it possible that it’s better?

- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 1 week ago:
What I’m perplexed at is - what if I went to the board and said “I have a guaranteed way to increase profit by 150 million - just pay me 50 million a year and fire Bitchai”. I would legit do my best to make great decisions for 50 million.
Why doesn’t the board care about cutting costs by cutting CEO pay? I can’t imagine any difference that would really justify Bitchai 's pay difference.
I also cannot imagine they are all part of some secret conspiracy where they all know each other and like each other so much that they just want to pay him that money because they’re buddies.
Wouldn’t $150 million be more than enough justification to hire someone else?
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 1 week ago:
What I don’t understand is why does competition matter for workers but somehow not for CEOs? I kind of understand and agree in the free market to an extent - if you’re fine with hiring a dev for $100 instead of another dev for $1000, and you’re okay with the difference in quality / time / etc. then go for it. But where is all this competition happening for CEOs?
Surely someone must be as qualified as Bitchai and willing to do the same job for a measly 100 million a year instead of his 200 million.

On the other hand, are you implying that human call center workers are accurate with what they tell customers and that when they make mistakes the companies will own up to them and honor them?

Instead of implementing systems that are not vulnerable to attack, they are just removing the people who know how to attack.

“attack US critical infrastructure” is security
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 1 week ago:
Valid point. I think the issue is that we know there is no good reason for China to have that data, and we know that they are hostile, so it’s an easy decision.
- Comment on U.S. "Know Your Customer" Proposal Will Put an End to Anonymous Cloud Users 2 weeks ago:
This is basically nationally enforced “security through obscurity” which is dumb as fuck.

Yes
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 weeks ago:
I mean, to be fair, both are extremely bad and should be stopped, but a hostile foreign country gather data and pushing propaganda on your citizens IS worse than you or non-hostile foreign countries doing it.

I haven’t read the article at all (I plan to) but this basically confirms everything I have assumed as an outsider for years now.
- Comment on MKBHD - Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies? 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s the equivalent of saying society should not stop using coal or fossil fuels or those people who pump your gas for you because “what about the employees???”. No, the world needs to move on.
If your company produces shitty products that people don’t want, then they shouldn’t exist and you should find a different job rather investing your livelihood in such a bad idea.
