I still do not understand how this guy is given so much power. Seriously, what the fuck? How does he keep winning? How does everyone keep bending the knee? How are there so few people telling him to go fuck himself? Is he scary in real life?

I find tuta.com much better than proton. I always found proton unnecessarily expensive.

Wait, why does lemmy.ml block infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe and programming.dev? All these seem innocuous?

I saw this youtube documentary on “Russia’s Most Wanted Hackers” that I found really interesting:

This is great news. However, I am still dumbfounded on how 42% voted for the other guy. He is literally a sexual assaulter and he was endorsed by Trump and Elon Musk! How is it that so many people still voted for him?

Mamdani could not have had a better campaign, yet, he had just ~8% more votes. If the other guy ran a just tiny bit better campain, things could have been very different.

I am trully happy that Mamdani won, but yet, I am left scared at the state of things. He should have had 70/80% of votes. After all that has been happening in the US for the last 9 months or so, there is only a 8% number of votes separating the two sides? Holly molly, that is scary.

This is also something that I deeply value. And even in today’s world, in which anti-consumption should probably be a priority for pretty much everyone, I rarely find someone that values that.

And where is the hate for corporations? Everyone walking around as if they were a walking billboard, with branding in pretty much every item they own… Yikes yikes yikes.

I looked on the website. This is actually an “early bird” special price that is ~80% discounted. So after a while, it’s going to be $162/year and $310/2 years.

I don’t really pay attention to these “discounts”. It is, generally, just a marketing tactic. Plenty of services/websites/shops have the same discount 24/7.

Never heard of NymVPN. Does anyone use them?

I use Mullvad, and I really trust their devs. Not really looking to change, but having more options is always good.

I know all about that. Trust me, I hate the guy. His podcast with Zelensky was pathetic. So were his remarks in the podcast episode next to that one.

Having said that: I dont have idols, but if I had, Terence Tao would be one of them. I will listen to the podcast regardless of Lex.

What is her job? Going around the world with seemingly unlimited funds and giving some interviews? Just sounds like a Kardashian with extra steps.

Yes, she did. She provided mutual aid. She might not have saved the entire world, but no one ever does. She helped a few, and that is more than anyone could say about you.
