Encrypted and RAID 0, all disked stored in different locations, two copies of all disks.

Maybe I should try that. It looks like such a nice series of games but I don’t have time for the grind. I just want to nuke everything and then go to bed.

I thought “what the heck is wrong with your cat?”, and then I saw which community it was

It is overwhelmingly clear that you are not arguing in good faith. You are trying to argue points I explicitly said I am not arguing or discussing. But I will explain again. I will also use the word image instead of post to make it more clear what I mean, just in case that was confusing you.

Let us break this down.

It’s overwhelmingly clear that you need to do more legwork to prove that that user genuinely thinks there is no credit score

I have never tried to prove this. I said that the image claims that there is no system for social credit score. I do not equate the image to users in general. I even suspect that this image could be fake.

and is not directly responding to the Orwellian version.

Was I not clear enough? I am not discussing anything about any version of the system in question, only it’s existance. Image says it does not exist, we both agree that it does. Again, I am not saying anything about how it works or how it is perceived.

This is clearly taking a dogmatic reading of one sentence to come up with the absurd claim that Chinese citizens believe that publicly stated policy doesn’t actually exist.

You are right, it would be an absurd claim to make, one that I am not trying to make. I am trying to point out that the image claims something to be true. We both agree that this is not true, or are you going to say at the system does not exist now?

I also said that I believe this some form of propaganda, but that does not have mean that I endorse or refute any claim regarding the west part of the world’s view on this matter.

Please discuess my arguments. Please refrain from “attacking” points I explicitly said I was not making.

The western depiction simply does not exist.

I can and will not argue this point since I lack the proper knowledge on the subject.

We all agree on the fact that a system exists.
From the post:

“Social credit. We don’t have this at all” is a lie. Again, I am not saying anything about how to system works or how it is preceived. I am saying that it exists and the post claimed it does not, nothing else.

That makes it propaganda to me.

TL;DR:

1. The post claims that something that exists does not. This is a fact.
2. I believe this to be propaganda in some form. This is an opinion.

It’s besides the point how it is talked about. The Second screenshot literally says “Social credit. We don’t have this at all” and your link very much proves that they do. Therefore propaganda in my eyes.

We don’t currently integrate Proton Mail with third-party email clients on Android. Third-party email clients for Android are not capable of the encryption and decryption processes Proton Mail performs.

Third-party email clients for iOS are not capable of the encryption and decryption processes Proton Mail performs to keep your data safe

They do lock you in on handheld devices but that seems to be a consequence of the fact that they are storing all emails encrypted on the server. After reading this link (“[…]Since IMAP can’t decrypt your emails[…]”), I agree that they are just implementing PGP with an extra steps and creating an unneeded layer (the bridge).

The reason I would not compare it to XMPP is because they are still using SMTP. It is when they stop using SMTP or force others to use something else that I would be very worried.

It’s always interesting when someone claims something that goes against the norm on the internet, they might know something that I do not. That was not the case today, unfortunately.

Any generic IMAP/SMPT provider + Thunderbird + PGP will provide the same level of security that Proton does - that is assuming they didn’t mess their client-side encryption/decryption or key storage in some way.

And isn’t that the point? I don’t have time nor do I want to learn about PGP and how to encrypt email. Someone sells that service, great. And it is not like I cannot send normal emails to anyone else. They are using the same standard, not some made up version of SMTP (when sending to other servers, I assume any email from client A to client B both being Proton customer never leave their server, so no need for a new protocol).

Proton is doing to e-mail about the same that WhatsApp and Messenger did to messaging - instead of just using an open protocol like XMPP they opted for their closed thing in order to lock people into their apps

Proton themself provides a way to export emails in a decrypted format. It is even cross platform. https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-export-tool And all they do is open source, here is the code for their mail server: https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-export-tool. They seem to be using ordinary standards, but what do I know?

I cannot agree with you and I do not think your arguments holds, I would even go as far as to say that they are flawed (example being claiming “closed thing” while being fully open source using open standards). It seems to me that they have something that people are willing to pay money for. You are not one of them (nor am I).

I don’t personally use them as an email provider because of the limit on how many domains they allow as a standard.

What is wrong Proton and their marketing?

Don’t have SD but I use xpad neo on popos on laptop, solved the problem for me. Might be worth checking out.

A bit of a hyperbole, but for the sake of this discussion, let’s say there is a house and no one can afford it but me. If I don’t buy it and rent it, no one can live in it. What would be the right thing to do?

His son is hardly a child at 54 years old.

I’m sure parents always will see their children as children, no matter their age.

Why?

Except when you want to learn it but there isn’t enough time to. Then it is nice and frustrating at the same time.

Got a Keychron K8 Pro wireless for work very recently. I was considering the MX Keys S and went to the store try out both of them. I just want to second Keychron as being a viable option instead of Logitech (but nothing will make me switch from MX Anywhere 3S).

I don’t follow. How would no IP give more money to the workers? How would no IP change how the company was run?

I’m not arguing IP here, I just seems to me that you are mixing two different things. You can have a employee owned company and still have IP.

Or am I missing something obvious?

I once had a bug in a C# program I wrote. It made a HTTP request and if the user agent was left to default (whatever that was), the server just gave back an empty string as a reply. I took way to long until I understood what was going on and I kept chasing async, thinking I had messed it up some how.

I am waiting for an AI model and corresponding tools to generate my own anime and manga. No more stupid open endings, no more infinite story they stop producing because who knows, no more “I was in the same room as a girl, OH NO! Someone might have seen me, I’m so embarrassed!”.

I almost wish I could take existing anime, put it in a machine and make it better. That should actually become a thing, use AI to make your favorite TV shower more to your liking. Someone needs to create this. Bad ending? Fix that. Bad dialog? Fix that. Change gender on all characters? Fix that as well. Foul langage? Easy.
