  • “Metal…Gear?” - Metal Gear Solid

    “War…has changed.” - Metal Gear Solid 4

    “War never changes.” - Fallout 3

    “All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get MAD! I DON’T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE? DEMAND TO SEE LIFE’S MANAGER! MAKE LIFE RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GOVE CAVE JOHNSON LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I’M THE MAN WHO’S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN…WITH THE LEMONS.” - Portal 2



  • I’m with you. If they’re verifying the information request, as in vetting it to determine if there is actual criminal behavior going on i.e. pedos/money laundering/etc, then good. Hand them over to the authorities.

    They state that they don’t cater to corrupt governments or organizations - good.

    Everyone here arguing against these things are throwing up major red flags. Didn’t the CEO just go to court because he wasn’t handing over information willy nilly? I would hope Signal and Proton would be doing the same things.














  • The alternatives are:

    • Windows based solution: will be super bloated, locked down preventing customizability, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers, I’m sure among other reasons others here will gladly point out.
    • MacOS based solution: Even more locked down than a Windows based solution, hardware may even be more proprietary so good luck swapping out components yourself to fix it, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.
    • iOS: same reasons as MacOS, with the exception of it not being as locked down.
    • Android based solution: is controlled by Google and therefore will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.

    Alternatives to Linux like other Unix based systems, FreeBSD, etc. I don’t know enough about, so whether or not it would be better on this kind of a product I don’t know.
