First everyone always does. Second there is always a chance you do want to hide with a regime change.

As long as it’s implicit right and is a reasonable price I 100% will be getting it. I am willing to pay someone else to securly hold my (e2ee) data.

I really wish I could like Nebula but the problem is that there privacy policy is extremely lacking. As in collects a lot of demographic information and others forms that they can share.

I really want to like it though.

I totally get the anger with Netflix. I fucking hate them as a filmmaker. But I really don’t think a long term solution is pirating content.

BUY CONTENT YOU LIKE

Is it more expensive? Of course it is, that’s part of an equitable society. Also it means you end up with content you really like and not a bunch of junk.

I learned that I need to truly understand something to be able to trust it. I had to learn the same lesson with Proton.

I am praying for poeples downfall a lot. Like there is a guy I work with. I have been praying on his downfall all year and it may be coming.

Yea because to make Linux and GIT you have to have starkly different world view.

I also don’t trust Microsoft to keep it turned off. Even if it is truly off (really hard to tell) what’s to say it doesn’t turn back on in an update. I want an OS I can trust.

It’s a great example of why I push for the use of technologies where I don’t have to trust companies to play nice with my data. If I use (correctly implemented) end to end encryption then you physically can’t access my data.

Think that pisses me off the most is how you can’t uninstall it. First of all, I don’t even really need a mail app on my computer. If I do, I’ll install one I actually want to use.

Funny you say that. I despise Nord VPN and consider them HIGHLY unethical. Also they aren’t truly private because they want a bunch of infromation when signing up.

Any VPN that I see a lot of ads for and other content for makes them come off as sketchy.

TBH, if you just use a decent VPN (thats truly private) then this doesn’t matter. Which is something you should be doing anyways.

I very sadly don’t see it going anywhere because of how much money has been invested by big tech corporations such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Reason they’re willing to put so much money into these corporations is because they’re being built on their cloud infrastructure, which the different AI companies pay for. So either way, they end up getting more money and becoming more influential, even if the AI hype eventually dies out.
