I’ve never seen an online discussion about privacy without some version of this comment. Never gets old. Is there an Android keyboard with an apathy button that I’m unaware of?

Perfect response. Record someone without consent, it should be the last time those glasses are wearable.

This is glorious and I’m convinced!
- Comment on Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives 1 week ago:
The Proton CEO Andy Yen tweeted support for Trump’s Department of Justice pick last year and a shitstorm suddenly appeared.
It was a pretty tone-deaf tweet, but it most certainly doesn’t mean that Proton or its CEO support the Trump regime.
Below is an article analyzing the entire episode, and before that a direct quote from the article if you want to get the basic idea with out reading the entire thing…
“However, being disillusioned with one party on one issue doesn’t mean that all of a sudden Andy Yen changed all of his stances and that now he’s actually pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. All of the evidence gathered suggests the exact opposite.”

The Palestinians have suffered more than enough, and the US is entirely complicit in that suffering already.

Fuck that shit. We don’t want your garbage. That country has already shit on us enough for generations.

I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.
It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?

I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.

Fuck, that last bit cracked me up. Consider it stolen.

I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.

Great info. Thanks so much! I’m no defender of Word or of Microsoft, so I’m always on the lookout for alternatives, though Libre Office most often suits my rather simple needs.

A glance at their website says that the data is only stored in Europe, though on Azure servers encrypted at rest to which Microsoft holds the encryption keys. That last bit is an absolute deal-breaker for me.
Zero- knowledge encryption or don’t waste my time. I’m not putting legal/medical/etc docs into the cloud with only a “trust me bro” from the creators of Co-Pilot.
