stinerman, to world in Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza

It does seem like the TL;DR of right wing Israelis is “Hitler was right, but his only problem was that he was killing us.”

stinerman, to privacy in Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.

As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.

It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.

Absolutely.

I just picked up Fallout 2 at GOG for $2.49. There are so many games you can get for less than the price of a coffee. The best way to fight against these prices is to simply not buy.

I’m old enough to remember when Doom 64 for the N64 was $74.99. In today’s money that’s around $145.

I’m not saying that’s reasonable, I’m just saying it used to be a lot worse in the cartridge age.

The thing about transporters is that if we had them right now, people would use them for everything. Transport me to the toilet. Transport the TV remote into my hand. Transport a fork into my hand. People would never get out of bed.

It seems like alternatively you could cross the border to some other country and not have to do this anymore. Slovakia gets all the breaks.

stinerman, to lemmyshitpost in what is my purpose rule
@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

This happens at my employer from time to time where the default action is for something to be off. So the option is “Turn off X” with a checked checkbox next to it.

This is negative logic and is stupid. Turning on an option should enable something. Turning it off should disable it. If the default is that it is off, then give it a positive description “Turn on X” and then default the value to off.

I get really angry about this if you couldn’t tell.

If someone texted me, the reply was “these cost me $0.25, so i’ll talk to you on AIM when I get home”

@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

Yeah I’m pretty angry and anxious too. Angry that a person like Donald Trump could outdraw Vermin Supreme.

@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

It’s certainly possible. My opinion has long been that politicians are not really all that responsive to public opinion.

this is entirely because 100K voters in Michigan voted uncommitted

Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence.

To be clear, I have no problem with people in Michigan voting uncommitted, I just don’t think you can draw that line.
