To counter some of the other comments, them being based in Panama is a huge plus imo, if you’re inclined to do things deemed illegal by local authorities. They have no incentive to comply with government issued search warrants or the like. Most western country-based companies are legally obligated to comply with those requests, or even store information for a number of years. With quantum-based decryption there’s no saying how long even encrypted data will be safe.

Yeah the moment Proton developed a password manager I switched. Very convenient and the price ain’t bad if you use all their services.
- Comment on 10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. 8 months ago:
Just forget about rectangles altogether, circular video is where it’s at!
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 8 months ago:
Yeah, the rage seems to usually stem from two misunderstandings:
- It forces you to use Bluetooth headphones.
- A 3.5mm jack is cheap and trivial to build into a phone, so there’s little or no reason to not include it.
You already pointed out why neither of those are legitimate reasons. For 1 you just need a simple dongle, not new headphones. For 2, because the Fairphone is modular and repairable, it’s not just the 3.5mm jack but also a custom replaceable daughterboard they’d have to develop and keep in stock.
Not having a 3.5mm jack is a minor inconvenience at most, I don’t get the rage either.

Or, here’s a crazy idea, for the one week each year where you actually need the range you rent a Honda Civic and leave your EV at home.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
The video responds much better than I could. But in short, Gary doesn’t believe the housing prices to fall until the rich are taxed more. So get in soon if you can, it’s only going to get worse.
Might be wrong, who knows. I’m not able to buy a house currently anyways so I’d have to wait either way.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
Recently watched this interesting Gary Stevenson interview.
Not very optimistic but might give you some ideas.
Tl;dr: do everything you can to buy a house and get the rich taxed (much) more.

and it’s not like anyone watches anyone else.
Unfortunately some people are creeps. The University of Toronto had to partially reverse their all-gender shower policy shortly after implementing it.

- Comment on U.S. intelligence officials determined the Chinese spy balloon used a U.S. internet provider to communicate 10 months ago:
Didn’t that turn out to be a weather balloon launched by an amateur meteorology club?
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 11 months ago:
Except chiropractors also occasionally maim and murder people.
