This the type of shit that he’d name “The Trump Dollar”

Got librewolf, turned the settings a bit more strict than what comes base so cookies and site data don’t even get saved. Makes me feel good, with that level of ease.

The title of this post seems to communicate that goal, even if it’s not the intent. It is worth noting that the article itself seems to read more as if Samsung is going through bad management decisions amid market turmoil. The current market demand on Samsung has some sectors performing with insane profits, yet others completely underperforming. This current topic is the offproduct of the statements of the lesion between the union reps and the company, to which this individual has already been replaced. They were pushing for a distribution of earnings based on how their respective sector performed.

Also not to be outdone, wronged workers are doing what wronged workers do best. A strike is planned for the near future, and Samsung is currently responding by cutting production quotas in advance. It is not a company wide strike, rather it is a strike of just the specific division of Samsung that’s getting lesser earnings. The union seems to see that amid the AI craze, their underperforming sector is at risk of being diminished, even if only temporarily.

I can add more, but I dont wanna interpret for others and I think I’ve done that enough already. Its not a long or bad read, y’all can see for yourself.

Tl;Dr: I used Proton and Tuta, both work well and respect privacy. I will encourage E2EE though.

My suggestion is largely dependent on your use case. I’m switching from Proton to Tuta actively, but not necessarily due to a slight to Proton. I simply used to use their VPN + Email combo, but recently wanted to switch to Mullvad VPN, so Tuta then became cheaper.

As far as E2EE discussions go, I dont feel E2EE/PGP is ever a bad thing to have. Namely, encrypted communications have a smaller threat surface. I’d advocate in the modern day, all respectable services should offer it anyways. With how easy PGP is to setup, any company that doesnt do E2EE by default is likely motivated against it, which speaks ill of their privacy practices.

For services in general, most privacy respecting services are hosted in Europe. Switzerland and Germany for Proton and Tuta respectively, which what might ease your stress a bit is that they do still need to follow the GDPR, but all good providers I’m familiar with are European based.

Quick disclaimer, some of this sounds more snarky than I wanted, so apologies in advance. Also Tl;Dr: this isn’t another pandemic, just a new disease.

Real talk, I only heard of it yesterday. Thing is, and the internet reeeeaally doesnt like this sorta thing… it isn’t a big deal. It only takes a few searches through studies to see, and even then there’s articles that do a deep dive that explain how this virus works that are just openly found on google without much digging at all.

So, what it has going for it is that the virus started off as a plague. That meaning that it transmitted itself from animal to human. Exceptionally rare chance, yet our immune system is not setup to deal with it as we’ve historically never been exposed to it. Looking into this specific virus, there are several strands we’ve identified. The vast majority of which have an insane death rate, save for a single normal-rate strain for a typical cold.

Here’s the kicker. The type that’s spread without incredible difficulty is the type that’s akin to a normal, run of the mill cold. The high death rate strains are simply not easy to get. Yet when people share info about it, what’s mentioned is how contagious the low-death rate strain is, and the death rate of the more dangerous ones that don’t spread easily. Looks like a nightmare so it grabs headlines, but really it’s not all too horrible.

I don’t believe that makes it any less valid, even if it is the case. Those are systemic things, which if one could be morphed by them, it’s fair to say others are too.

Doesn’t mostly every survey have that pitfall?

Honestly, I’ve kinda grown to hate these phones, yet I find myself constantly going back like it’s a digital addiction. Compared to entertainment media prior to these horror pocketbricks, seemingly everything had more novelty. TV/Movie nights were special and shared with family, and man it was always fun picking out what CD to pop into the player. Gaming sessions were entertaining because my brother would join, and we’d have a couch party with a GameCube, or even a Nintendo DS with a multiplayer game. He was such a screenpeeker.

It plagues me that the more I think on it, I truly dont feel it’s nostalgia, there seems to be a lost novelty, and the phone and internet largely seemed to replace it all. Now, couch parties are had as a Discord call, movie nights are supplemented with a customized YouTube feed. Even the era of personal websites are fading away.

On a side note, all those things are possible for us to have today, yet we don’t. It feels like a conscious decision to pursue convenience over connection, but why did we pick this path?

I do not know the internals as far as desired, but USPS was developed to be completely self-reliant, as in no funds should be extracted or provided to/from any government’s budget. Massively oversimplifying here, this means that managers are incentivised to push workers they do have, and avoid hiring new workers where extra aid is needed. Throw in a burecracy that does incentivize lower performing carriers to be promoted, and now there’s a a management issue.

For those looking to get into the postal service, the crappy management is a hurdle to deal with, and the hiring procedure is a manifestation of that.

Not to stray away from it, as some people enjoy it thoroughly, but USPS tends to be a very finicky place to work at. It often doesn’t lead into career growth, the workplace can get bogged by bad management, and the phrase “Going Postal” happened enough to become a common concept.

I’ll translate the other guy’s comment;

Israel and the US attacked because they were basically handed a golden opportunity in a world where they search for opportunity. The top governmental officials were present within the same room, confirmed by their intelligence officials, and during a vote for the next supreme leader. By attacking then, both the current government would be inept for days to weeks, and a new government would have a shoddy transition of power.

Tl;Dr: the goal is a long, drawn-out war. I realized after writing this whole thing out, It’s totally a tangent you didn’t mention, but fugget I’m not gonna let it go to waste.

Now, here’s the opportunity in that opportunity: A “short victory” is not the goal, this is a resource war. Venezuela was effectively captured by the US, Hegseth has stated intents to revitalize the Americas as the ‘American sphere of influence’ (paraphrased), Iran is unable to export significant oil, and with that goes most of the middle east’s production through the closed strait. This disproportionately favors the US, Russia, and Canada for oil production. Trump previously pushed his “51st state” agenda on Canada, and Russia is cutoff from trade with much of the world due to sanctions. This has the US in a position where it disproportionately benefits from having the Strait of Hormuz closed, and the longer it goes, the more reliant countries get on the US for energy.

As to why it happens now, Trump is in power, and the current admin understands the developed world is slowly becoming more energy independent without the need for oil (alternative energy). This explains why the narrative is maintained that “green energy doesnt work,” while Europe actively sees progress and positive outcome with it. It’s not about what’s best for the American people he speaks to, it’s more oriented around what he wants to leverage in the current state of global affairs.

I mean, it’d definitely have some baggage when it comes to the vacuum of space.

The font is called “XBAND Rough,” if you’d wanna download it and create your own sticker/print.

Provided compliance is nuts, this man is a nutcase for complying. Sounds all good, but I dont believe being a nutcase warrants doxxing, verbal harassment, verbal threatening, and everything else that we’re seeing here.

Windows is active spyware, it’s well documented that services like their Telemetry function as active keyloggers. The main difference is that the vulnerabilities are likely only problematic if someone is actively looking for you.

As for Linux, it has many different types of OS called Distributions/Distros. You’d likely want to start off on a distro that’s beginner friendly, like PopOS. Others work too, this is just my personal preferred flavor of ‘just works’ distribution. A lot of people will overcomplicate the process of selecting what type of Linux-based OS to choose with loads of technical terms, but you dont need most of that if that’s not what you seek to make of it.

My serious answer for running games, as much as I’d like to answer it here, it would likely need a fair sized explanation if you’re completely unfamiliar with Linux, just so you can know what to expect. It’s more than I feel I can reasonably explain, so I’ll recommend you lookup YouTube videos of how to run specific game emulators on Linux, since the video format will likely help a lot.

This has always messed with me to explain, but mostly since this confusion is based on different experiences. If you learn the theory and understand how to craft your own circuitry, pushing and pulling amps can be designed for, but if all you’ve ever done is install things like a contractor would, then all you’re familiar with is pulling amps.

It always makes it such a hard explanation when someone says, “I thought you pulled amps.” There really ain’t an easy explanation, since most people are only familiar with systems designed to not be used outside their target voltage, so they don’t experience Ohm’s Law in action.

In retrospect, its probably because I only have these talks with contractors lel, and they’ve spent a whole lotta time going with the “Pulls amps” approach, and it works out well enough for them. Whatever works for the groups you’re communicating among, I suppose.

So, I wanna support the Onion network, but it seems hosting a middle node is the most likely way, and thus have the largest base. In looking into it, exit nodes seem very dangerous to those who’re uneducated on the risks of having them, and thus are a big bottleneck.

Not to say this is a bad problem to have, as it’s a growing pain and that indicates an increase in popularity, but wouldn’t wide-scale adoption of this disproportionately limit the usability of the Onion network through the exit nodes?

That’s swell that someone outside the DOJ/FBI can see the names and all, but functionally that sounds about as useful as nobody having seen the names at all. What’s a lawmaker going to do? Those aren’t rhetorical questions, I really wanna know what can be achieved outta it, because I don’t see any gain.

They can’t make copies or show their own staff, yet they’d be functionally expected to comb through everything on their own. All multimillion files, and through layers of added burecracy that make it difficult for anyone to view. We know lawmakers aren’t exactly known for being the most thought-out, so I don’t forecast they’ll do much more than Ctrl + F.

On a side note, the ABC News article on this subject says Epstein killed himself. Completely irrelevant to what the post is about, but dang nabbit ABC, y’all are better than this.
