I do think a factual account of what’s happening in America right now qualifies as an echo chamber.

Is another great DRM free bookstore.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression it didn’t call out to mozilla servers if you didn’t enable sync.
I guess Mullvad would be the next popular browser yeah?

- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 1 month ago:
Ah I see you’ve reached the “No. You” level of argumentative debate.
Why don’t you have Grok 3 summarize it for you and paste it as a response. It would at least contribute to the thread.
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 1 month ago:
Then tell me some things about the article. How’s what Musk is doing is different than what the Clinton administration did?
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 1 month ago:
Again, you’re not taking about the content of the article. Just that you found a headline you thought was flattering and posted it here.
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 1 month ago:
Yes and comprehension is if you understand what you read.
I’m going to assume you support these actions Trump and Musk are doing due to your whole…thing…you have going on here.
Thus using what we call context clues, I am going to assume you don’t agree with the thrust of this argument. However, looking at the rest of your comment history, you’re not talking about the article, or it’s salient points.
So yes, your reading comprehension is suspect. Due to, ya know, everything you’re doing here.
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 1 month ago:
Buddy, I literally quoted the article. A quote that paints these actions Trump and Musk are doing in a very poor light.
I have strong doubts of your reading comprehension.
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 1 month ago:
But the Reinventing Government project was nearly the opposite of the abrupt, chaotic Musk effort, say those who ran it or watched it unfold. It was authorized by bipartisan congressional legislation, worked slowly over several years to identify inefficiencies and involved federal workers in re-envisioning their jobs.
You read the whole article?

Thanks for the pointers on PGP. All the work I’ve done with PGP is with linux packages. I didn’t know how it was bolted onto email.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Well you see, I was wrong on the internet about PGP and Email.
The good thing though is I’m learning A LOT lol
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I’ve admitted that was wrong in other posts in this thread.
The unsolicited nature of the initial communication is what I’m concerned with.
I’m learning a lot about PGP in this thread but my initial point still stands. Unsolicited invitation to an unencrypted email is a problem for me and my security hygiene.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
My major concern is the nature of the request. Please email me an unencrypted email so that I can send you a PGP key to sign further encrypted comms to a different email address.
Also you’re correct PGP is difficult to handle in email as it’s bolted onto an old and plaintext protocol. I’m learning a lot about email here. Most of my PGP signed packages are done in linux repositories and I admit that I’m not as familiar with it as ECDSA and other encryption algos.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It’s a problem with the local email client and PGP not being securely handled locally. I’m learning a lot about email in this thread.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
So you agree that an unsolicited message from someone, asking you to email them could be suspect.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Agreed you’re right. However it’s still a less secure protocol than other standards of communication that are available, Matrix, Mattermost, Signal etc.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Correct it has everything to do with emails
