Jesus fucking Christ i want to schedule a hysterectomy and i don’t even have one of those.

You could just have a server up and running, paid several months in advance, that did it automatically but you might want a human (i would think a lawyer) to also be involved.

I’m not sure that’s generalizable to this scenario. That’s also pretty time constrained. Besides that, was there any evidence this person was depressed or otherwise suicidal? Maybe there is but i sure don’t know if it.

Dead man’s switch that uploads a message to YouTube that’s basically “If you’re seeing this then i have been assassinated by the company. I did not kill myself, I was determined to testify. Because I will now no longer be able to, what follows is my testimony” and then do a tell all. Could work it out with a lawyer in advance, too.

So the person above may think they’re so clever, or whoever fed them that factoid may think that. Notice the claim is remineralization. Maybe that’s true, it may be that a study first showed that in 1975 and that’s not contradicted by your link but that is a non sequitur. It’s not what we’re talking about, it’s not a good faith argument.

In 1945, Grand Rapids became the first city in the world to fluoridate its drinking water.The Grand Rapids water fluoridation study was originally sponsored by the U.S. Surgeon General, but was taken over by the NIDR shortly after the Institute’s inception in 1948. During the 15-year project, researchers monitored the rate of tooth decay among Grand Rapids’ almost 30,000 schoolchildren. After just 11 years, Dean- who was now director of the NIDR-announced an amazing finding. The caries rate among Grand Rapids children born after fluoride was added to the water supply dropped more than 60 percent. This finding, considering the thousands of participants in the study, amounted to a giant scientific breakthrough that promised to revolutionize dental care, making tooth decay for the first time in history a preventable disease for most people.

They like the lead, though!
(Probably. I mean, they did in Flint, MI…)

I don’t want to encourage paranoia here but “off” does not mean “off”. Modern phones are almost never actually “powered down”. If you’re paranoid, turning your phone off is not enough. Leave it behind.
(Also a gap in your phone’s location history can also be used against you, fwiw.)

It doesn’t mean that in this case, except perhaps very indirectly.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 5 months ago:
Vaultwarden is Bitwarden–at least for now, this change may push them apart.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 5 months ago:
No, technically they already are SaaS company. That’s mostly how they make their money.
Also it should be noted “no longer open source” doesn’t mean they’ve done a “our code is now closed and all your passwords are ours” rug pull like some other corporations. This is a technical concern with the license and it no longer meets proper FOSS standards (in other words, it has a restriction on it now that you wouldn’t see in, for example, the GPL).
So by and large the change is very minimal, the code is still available, it’s still the best option. However, this does matter. It may be a sign of the company changing directions. It’s something they should get pushback about.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 5 months ago:
Honestly, it’s Bitwarden right now. This move signals their intent to change that, though.
