American for-profits are so hysterical about not servicing poorer people at cost that they’d rather cut services to everybody rather than be forced to do it.

security updates are for cowards, amirite? 😂
The server isn’t exposed to the internet. It’s a local IMAP server.
That was my family’s email server 5 months ago:
So roughly 2500 days today 🙂
but the old man at the dog park who only watches fox news isnt inherently evil
I’m sorry but no.
You have the die-hard racist MAGAs with the flags and the red cap. Those can fuck right off obviously.
But you also have all the ordinary folks who are NOT die-hard MAGA, but who decided that it was okay to vote for a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the government. And guess what: in a sense, they’re even worse.
Voting for Trump is crossing a line. If you voted for Trump, I really don’t want anything to do with you because you have proved to me that your sense of morality and your respect for the institutions of this country are compromised.
I do yes - VPN. I won’t next month though.
if you disavow every company contributing to the republican party/trump you might as well sell all your belongs, and learn to live off grid. no internet access, no power, no retail.
As much as possible, I will take my business to companies that aren’t openly terrible.
we just dont live in a black and white world
Tell that to the orange utan. He sure is about to turn the word from RGB to 1-pixel color space.
Do you really think I want to split people into people I can talk to vs. people I want to avoid at all costs? Trump is doing that. He’s forcing shitty choices on everybody. I’d rather have constructive and peaceful interaction with my fellow man. But can you honestly shake hands with a magard and not feel sick to your stomach? I can’t.
Let’s not get carried away. The scope of the comment is pretty narrow if you read it closely
The only thing I want to hear from you is that you actively disavow Trump, or if you feel this is going to hurt your business, at least say nothing at all. Anything other than that marks you as a shameless suck-up, and I want nothing to do with you or your business.
Ergo, I want nothing to do with Proton. It’s time suck-ups pay the price and see their bottom lines drop because of their dubious choices.
Oh well. Another scratch on my list of companies I’ll never patronize.
Isn’t it the same as tuning?
Although it’s unclear what tuning is because it depends on who says it:
Yet for all its faults, I believe that’s the closest word to ricing you’ll find that is universally understood, neutral and isn’t rendered hopelessly bland and meaningless by the process of political correctness newspeak.
I certainly hope a majority of Fediverse operators will decide to defederate Threads. I always thought it was important not to help Zuck grow his walled garden for free, but now it’s clearly a matter of decency.
If a tech monopoly requires you to do things that make you uncomfortable, don’t. It’s that simple.
You are running their software on their hardware with their limitations
It’s funny how it feels like my money when I pay for the device at the cash register.
It makes sense, but you totally miss my point. To go with your analogy, my point is:
That’s it.
I don’t care how fascinating the technology is and how clever Apple are: they are not welcome to implement it on my device. I didn’t invite them to setup a card game and I expect them not to break into my house to setup a table.
If they don’t look at my data, they don’t even have to encrypt it.
If they don’t try to look at my data, they don’t need to wonder whether they should ask my permission.
I don’t want Apple or anybody else looking at my data, for any reason, is my point.
Oh yeah I kinda missed your last point. Sorry 🙂
How hard is it to grasp that I don’t want Apple doing anything in my cellphone I didn’t explicitely consent to?
I don’t care what technology they develop, or whether they’re capable of applying it correctly: the point is, I don’t want it on my phone in the first place, anymore than I want them to setup camp in my living room to take notes on what I’m doing in my house.
My phone, my property, and Apple - or anybody else - is not welcome on my property.
It’s not data harvesting if it works as claimed. The data is sent encrypted and not decrypted by the remote system performing the analysis.
What if I don’t want Apple looking at my photos in any way, shape or form?’
I don’t want Apple exflitrating my photos.
I don’t want Apple planting their robotic minion on my device to process my photos.
I don’t want my OS doing stuff I didn’t tell it to do. Apple has no business analyzing any of my data.
Well, I can’t wait to get my $20 check in the mail. That was so worth having my privacy invaded without my consent.
Class-action justice has been meted out! And it’s going to cost Apple dearly - roughly a 0.1% of their monthly profits!
assisted living facilities
Aka retirement homes.
Aka exploitation hospices when for-profits manage them.
My Dad withered in one of them - Catholic-run, too - for a few months until my siblings and I realized he wasn’t fed properly, cared for properly, and the retirement home franchisee was spending the absolute minimum on him in order to keep him alive and paying rent but not a cent more.
Ascension’s data breach is probably the least egregious thing about that company.
