Jesus fuck that’s scary. I thought we europeans would need to fend of Russia in the near future. Now it might be the USA as well.

I generally don’t like puns, but your comment was *chef’s kiss

I use filen.io as a web drive. Can recommend

Tutanota, as specified in my initial reply

If you’re left leaning and want to send a message, do it with your wallet. Switch to tutanota for mails, search with duckduckgo, use f-droid as an app store… No one needs google, it’s just somewhat inconvenient to get used to alternatives

Until trump is supposed to leave office

I don’t agree with the guy, but his first sentence is literally “before we knew anything about him”. Pretty sure that includes his manifesto…

The malicious thing about recall is, it doesn’t matter how much you protect yourself, every one you interact with has to protect themselves too, or your private chats are gonna land there anyway

999 just sounds like a scale limit. It’s probably above that

Sounds like WUPH.com

I thought the tipping point had been miscalculated due to not factoring in the colapse if sea currents and new calculations show we’re well past it. There’s only mitigation left. Prevention has been out the window for a long time.

Imagine having to work with a snake like Lindner and a wet paper towel like Scholz on a daily basis. I don’t agree with everything Habeck does but just for that fact alone he’s earned my respect. I would have fucking resigned like 3 months in.

Totally my thoughts. I get shoved twice a week just walking around in town.

You’re describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn’t AI. It’s just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn’t trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.

If you think Musk has your fingerprints because you tweeted about the last restaurant you ate, we clearly have no common sense of reality and should leave the discussion at that

Social media is a privacy concern as well, but this is clearly on another level. I don’t save my biometric data on twitter. I don’t need facebook to live a full life. And as you said, there are anonymous alternatives. There aren’t when you travel. And living without travelling at least a little bit is kind of sad. So the comparison doesn’t fit.

Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.

Wild idea: in certain situations corporate institutions are legally handled as individuals. Climate change and it’s effects have been scientifically and undeniably linked to hightened CO2 emissions. We have stats that corporations are the root cause for like 70% of those emissions. On those grounds, shouldn’t it be possible for insurance companies, that have to pay a good chunk of those damages, to go after the main guilty parties? Let the corpos battle it out.

That’s just trading hurricanes with wildfires

Useless??? Ever since the pandemic and the need for a robust remote work infrastructure, the amount of cybersecurity related job offers has exploded. And they’re very well paid where I live.
