People protesting for democracy? Obviously, the USA are behind that.

Oh, wait.

Come the margin call I’ma feast on a dozen fried eggs and maybe, just maybe a tiny smidge of K

Also, just to indicate the orders of magnitude: The German electiricty grid roughly operates at a power of 200 000 MW on average.

Source (the colorful graph in the middle of the page). (Be mindful that the absolute numbers in the graph are given in “MWh per 15 minutes” (power*time/time), so to get the Watt number (power) at any given time, one has to multiply the number by 4.)

What is this worth, given that spring is approaching?

Please let us recall the Capitol attack. It was much, much worse, targeting not cars, but people and democracy itself.

(As for Elon, it is important to recall that back then, neither he nor any other liberal magnate had free access to the oval office and his own-or-technically-maybe-not-his-own government agency. His status is wholly unprecedented.)

I would even go so far as to say let’s hope that China steps in, too.

(Disclaimer: I’m not American.)

Not to argue for vandalism, but with the US government illegally detaining and deporting people for saying things that right wingers don’t like, I don’t think the MAGA crowd retains significant reservations about engaging in vandalism themselves – it’s just that so far they haven’t spotted a target where it would serve their cause to do so, and because, with the federal government in their hands, Republicans have much more effective and ostensibly legal methods at their disposal. (Should Republicans be voted out of power eventually, there will most certainly be vandalism from the right, conceivably even widespread violence against people, but this will probably be the case irrespective of whether Teslas keep exploding due to vandalism or only due to bad engineering.)

At this point, a perspective might be that it’s no longer about “a political goal”, but about preventing permanent loss of the ability of the people to achieve anything at all through democratic means.

Still, though: Even with this in mind, it’s utterly true that one should be careful about cheering for any such actions.

Actually this might make for a fun propaganda game: Set up a website where every person can mark, for each item on the list, whether they made the switch, so that in the end they receive a picture they can share on social media so as to engage in a low-key “competition” with their friends.

Worth noting that with KeePassDX, there’s a compatible mobile app.

I suggest to message the instance admins & everyone who facilitates the blocking efforts, telling them the BTC / LTC addresses, so that they can quicly set up corresponding filters.

Andy Yen went on to make an explanatory statement on Reddit, which provides a few insights: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i2nz9v/on_politics_and_proton_a_message_from_andy/

For one thing, from the context of the original tweet – which referenced a screenshot of some other person’s statement – “little guys” was quite certainly meant not as consumers but as “little tech” as opposed to “big tech”. One might still consider it irresponsible and shitty to say anything good about the Grand Oligarchic Party, but what he said was not as deranged as it is often taken to be. And indeed, the Democrats do also have a long-standing problem of being in liaison with billionaire donors in particular from the tech industry (remember, Peter Thiel used to be an outsider in Silicon Valley with his pro-Trump stance); it was only rather recently that most of the billionaires decided that their interests are much better served by “Republicans”.

I’m still not using Proton though. When I get around to switching to a paid provider, the top contenders right now are posteo.com or mailbox.org, but everything could change depending on what cloud plans they offer. And! it’s highly plausible that we’re going to see several new attractive offers being made in the next few weeks or months, so it might pay off to delay switching just a little bit.

(For calendars, by the way, teamup.com is really, really awesome. It’s Swiss.)

It is almost certainly harassment. At some place (which I’m not going to mention), there are photos of her that look very much like her phone was hacked to take pictures without her knowing. All information that I’ve seen about her is consistent with her being a real person, and it is the kind and context of information where it’s practically unthinkable that she would be sharing it herself.

I think someone living in the Toronto area should see if they can get the police or other professionals to look into this.

Sehr cool! Was würdest du vermuten wäre der beste Weg, um andere Studizeitungen zu ähnlichen Artikeln zu ermutigen? Würdest du vielleicht sogar einwilligen, dass die deinen Artikel bei sich ebenfalls abdrucken (wenn erforderlich eventuell mit Kürzungen)?

Interessant finde ich, dass er als ersten Grund angibt, dass er sich als Junger Mensch von der Politik vernachlässigt gefühlt hat – und zwar besonders wegen der Corona-Regeln. Ich glaube, aus der Coronazeit kommt tatsächlich ein riesiges Radikalisierungspotenzial, das bis heute besteht. Mein Eindruck ist, dass die meisten Leute, die (wie ich) mit der Coronapolitik weitgehend einverstanden waren, ab 2023 ganz schnell begonnen haben, jene Zeit abzuhaken und zu vergessen. Aber ob es uns gefällt oder nicht: für viele ist sie noch nicht abgehakt. Wer damals seiner Denkungsart gemäß zu dem Urteil gekommen ist, dass die Impfung zu gefährlich sei und sich nicht impfen lassen wollte (was ich i.A. für verkehrt halte, aber was nunmal deren Urteil war) wurde unter Druck gesetzt, beleidigt oder sogar gekündigt; und wenn man mit solchen Leuten spricht, erfährt man, dass das bei ihnen weiterhin tief sitzt. Auch um dem Rechtsradikalismus das Wasser abzugraben, sollten wir gegenüber diesen Menschen ernsthafte Aussöhnungsarbeit leisten.
