The most encrypted messages on a platform are the ones you don’t send at all.
Why give these apps your most precious resource, your time, if they won’t respect your privacy and actively work with and support government over reach?

All at a time where I think I’m actually going to switch to Linux.
I just tried out an install on my laptop and boy does it work well even for gaming.
Windows has, nothing I actually need any more?
It feels really big to really leave Windows for good, but, I think it’s going to happen after a bit more testing of my Linux setup.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
I have stayed at my share of 2k+ hotels and I can promise you not everyone at these is rich. It filters yes, but there are definitely aspiring people who aren’t good with their money there too.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
That’s a fair take, vacations are for sure a place where the rich splurge, but at those status type hotels you will also find a lot of not rich but affluent folks as well so it’s harder to be sure just because you’re there that you’re interacting with a truly wealthy person.

High Earning Not Rich Yet
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
A lot of rich people actually try to live a normal looking life. Stealth wealth, and you might never find them until you get invited to their house.
Their house will be nicer than average, probably not crazy, but just a lot more than a typical person would have. They will have things like fancy light fixtures and switches that don’t look totally normal, the furniture will look normal but if you look closer you’ll only find high quality wood construction, tongue and groove, etc. You should also notice things are probably cleaner than a typical house (because regular house cleaner), everything works, and major appliances are newer generally. They are rich so they don’t have to make any budget trade offs.
These people might have insane net worth and they are trying to down play it because they know how bad it is for them when they are obviously wealthy for so many reasons.
Ostentatious wealth signals are usually sign of a HENRY or a striver, those people typically aren’t actually wealthy they have a lot of debt.

You know the video part is training data for autonomous weapons right? Like sure if all you want to do is video surveillance this is overkill, but maybe this is about more than surveillance?

- Comment on The people who believe "progressiveness is just a fad that one grows out of" are the same people that grew up getting brainwashed into regressive politics. The belief is only true for them. 4 weeks ago:
FWIW I’m a genx who did well and I didn’t grow out of it.
I know the system is rigged, I don’t want to hoard anything, and I want to live in a world where everyone does well.
People that change their values because they make a lot of money don’t actually have any values.

All I can say to this is, it’s magic. So, you get to stay on if the carpet wants you to stay on.
That’s is, that’s your protection.
