- Comment on Musk lawsuit over OpenAI for-profit conversion can go to trial, US judge says 1 week ago:
More concerningly is this going to trial in the US’ current governmental “degraded” (to put it lightly) condition. NFPs get a bunch of concessions and benefits to being such. It’s not unheard of for NFPs to have for profits subsidiaries but I feel like letting them bootstrap into FP, often on the taxpayers/states dime should be, legally speaking, a no no.

Fuck that is depressing. I had hoped I’d be able to pay for a service and not worry about this shit to avoid the hassle of self hosting. Very informative thank you.

Thanks for the links, the recovery email aspect was covered in the initial comment old mate was replying to. I was more interested in if the hand your ass over remark had anything to do with the “they cant read your emails”/encryption part. The second link is very interesting though:
After providing the activist’s metadata to Swiss authorities, ProtonMail removed the section that had promised no IP logs, replacing it with one saying, “ProtonMail is an email that respects privacy and puts people (not advertisers) first.”

Also, sealioning is “just asking questions” (JAQ’ing off). Consistently interrogating a position or POV for example, with request for evidence. Not asking someone to provide some sort of evidence for a single claim they made in reply to another user and refused to find evidence for their claim.
Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning ) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I’m just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter
Emphasis mine. From wiki. I appreciate the attempt to deescalate though and accept it’s probably time to pack it in with that particular user.

How about you google burden of proof? Like the other user said burden of proof is on the party making the claim. It’s not on other people to prove the claim wrong by doing research for you.

Sure I saw yours and accept that, but “hand your ass over” doesn’t equate to “complies minimally with legal request they have to in order to remain functioning as a business” in my book.

Burden of proof is on you.

Are you basing this on anything? I agree with another poster that proton being the go to alternative is somewhat suspect in my paranoid brain but some of these remark here seem pretty outlandish.

One of these can just be solve with a mailbox rule within the email client itself for what it’s worth. Make a rule that’s based on keywords in the subject line and have them moved into a folder that you clear out every couple of months. Downside is the email client need to be running/opened for it to process them.

Yeah, I thought some degree of English aptitude would be required for citizenship/visas. Though it does also state he wrote in correspondence so could be just an attempt to curry leniency.

The more you know, cheers for the links! The out-competing native animals angle makes sense and I wouldn’t have thought of. I have to admit, I would not have called hedgehogs being on the list lol.

Ah fair enough on them not being protected in NZ but I still fail to see how they can be a significant pest problem beyond swooping. Definitely not to the point of shooting them anyway.

Lucky you don’t have a license (I assume) because magpies are protected. Why the hell you’d want to shoot a non-pest is beyond me; even they can be dickheads in mating season.

Increased font size maybe or more likely the classic “fake text meme for internet points”.
- Comment on NSW police unlawfully arrested and choked man then tried to delete footage, watchdog finds 4 weeks ago:
Yes there is he will likely face the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, an independent body, and be investigated internally by NSW police. Fucking with evidence is also a big no no and cops have been charged for attempting to destroy body cam footage among other things before. If NSWPol refer him to DPP he is likely cooked.

Doesn’t justify the racism that allowed it to proliferate nor cunts like Alan Jones but not bringing these up in any discussion around the riots is poor journalism.

Not sure I agree with some of the assertion made there but regardless thanks for the reply. I look forward to checking it out.

- Comment on NSW Police Approval Of Neo-Nazi Parliament Rally Outrages Community 2 months ago:
No argument here. Even if they didn’t; the moment they realise it was a rally of dudes clad in all black with their faces covered; they should have issued move on orders. Yep, it violates the inciting racial hatred act. It worth pointing out that maybe if “slipped passed them” but my doubting that aside, incompetence is not a defence; as any cop will tell you.
The commissioner said he would review that decision and added he did not know the protest was taking place due to an internal “communication error”, and that he had failed to brief the government.
ABC.

Yeah whoever approved this needs to be sacked. Pro Palestine protests get scrutinised but literal nazis get approved. Get fucked.
