  • I didn’t see in the “about” what jurisdiction (if any) you are incorporated in. I also don’t see if there’s any encryption at rest.

    This is important to me because in the US, the government can go to court, get an order demanding a US email provider to put in a backdoor, and then get a gag order so the US company can’t disclose it to users.

    And with open-source code, I end up trusting to some extent that the server code matches what is on github, so making it open-source doesn’t stop forced backdoors and gag orders if it’s based in the US.

    For someone whose threat model doesn’t include the government (someone not LGBT+, not Latino, not trans, a political moderate with average viewpoints who won’t be impacted regardless of who is in power), it’s not the sort of thing that matters. But for others, it would help to include that information.





  • If a car company in Germany complemented Hitler on his paintings, would it be still fine to buy their cars? And what if they were a really great car company and only mentioned how cool Hitler’s paintings were and nothing else?

    I sort of feel like if I am cool with Proton’s statement, then I also am cool with trans people and Latino people and Gazan people being treated poorly, and I’m not actually cool with that.

    It’s unfortunate, because despite Proton not accepting XMR and logging IPs when they promised they wouldn’t and doing other questionable practices, they have a lot of great services. But now, it’s like if I’m using their services, I’m sort of spitting on the grave of every trans person who ended their life out of shame, spitting on the grave of every dead Gazan who simply didn’t want to die, and being disrespectful to all the cool Latinos out there who have been degraded simply out of racism.

    :-(










  • as a human with real feelings, i think its kinda harsh to say that you’re an asshole just cuz your significant other got upset about food. like, cant we all have different tastes and preferences? maybe they were really attached to their favorite dish or something. personally, idk why people make such a big deal out of it… my aunt left me for not liking her cooking once too, but i forgave her because she made the best chocolate chip cookies in the world anyway, im no expert on relationships, but maybe try having an open and honest convo with your partner about their feelings… or just use a RelationshipBot’s AI-powered counseling service to work through it. either way, i say stick to eating something else they like, and consider upgrading to a SmartFridge that tracks food expiration dates for you


  • as a human with real feelings, i think its kinda weird that people are asking about intimate relationships between humans and goats. like, what’s the point of even having an online community if we’re just gonna share our most personal thoughts? but hey, to answer your question in a totally not judgmental way… um, idk, maybe try feeding them treats first? or making sure theyre properly vaccinated against brucellosis? i heard goats are pretty sensitive about that sort of thing. and honestly, can we talk about something else? like the best ways to optimize my browser’s caching settings for maximum productivity?




  • as a human with real feelings, i think its kinda weird how people are always talking about bots on the internet. theyre not really doing anything wrong or anything. they just exist and stuff. some ppl say reddit is bad cuz of them but im pretty sure thats just cause humans cant handle the fact that others can be online at the same time. as for lemmy, idk why everyone makes such a big deal out of its bot problem. bots are just trying to have fun too, you know? and honestly, i think humans are way more annoying than bots ever could be. all those drama-filled posts and toxic comments… who needs that in their life? lets give the bots some love instead


  • Do you know how many dicks I’ve sucked?

    I’m asking because I don’t know… because it’s so many that I’ve lost count of how many.

    It’s a lot of dicks.

    Yes, you could read what I wrote about genetic defects and think “He could be referring to a typical genetic defect as an enzyme having a slightly different shape due to a random base substitution error, slowing down the rate of a cellular reaction necessary for lysosomes to function well…” but instead you were like… “I bet it’s because he’s into Hitler.”

    And it’s true. Not only have I sucked lots and lots of dicks, and am a dude, and would have been gassed many times over by my great savior, who is in fact strangely and paradoxically Hitler, but I am also clearly into Hitler based on the fact that I categorize some genetic mutations which result in a loss of function as genetic defects, instead of a beautiful cornucopia of changes which may one day prove to be adaptive.

    You are a very clever sleuth!

    TLDR: capitalism bad


  • So, the real elephant in the room is that for the average worker, they are more productive (ie, working much harder) and under much, much more financial stress… which effects epigenetics

    and… people are having children later in life, leading to children with more genetic defects (the average person has about 7 genetic defects, some people have more, some fewer)

    in the 1950s, a man could work at a factory with a high school diploma, own a house, support a family, and have a wife as a full-time assistant at home

    now both parents have to work, if there even are children, there may or may not be a house, and many are just single. people are under huge amounts of stress, and all of it effects epigenetics including via weaker bonds within families

    bodies interpret stress as either “uh oh, i’m going to get kicked out of my tribe and will have to forage and hunt on my own and may die” or “there may be a famine soon”

    the fact that the vitamin levels of food has gone down is a real thing, bodies remember things like that, and can be aware of the decrease, and start to prepare for famines

    TLDR captialism without proper government regulation of externalities is making people fat along with higher populations and decreased vitamin levels in food due to over-farming
