I have this feeling that JD Vance is way worse than Trump

This is absolute bullshit, just because the US is incapable of making good walkable neighbourhoods doesn't mean the parents are at fault of letting their childeren be normal.

LibreOffice is a great alternative for 99% of people, but there is that 1% of people who is gonna be disappointment. This is a great step though.

I agree with that the abusive cops and ice is insane in the US, and it should be stopped. I also believe that the US is a corrupt nation in nearly every place of the government and surrounding instances.

But a question surround this, what if the US wasn't corrupt and the judges would actually follow the law (juries wouldn't be able to exist for most cases) and hypothetical if the US had privacy laws for everything besides businesses wouldn't this be the same punishable offence that would protect citizens?

In GDPR countries (among others) nobody is allowed to do something like this with face recognition because the law works for everybody. (Some people are trying to destroy this in some countries, though).

At the same time, if the government is allowed to use facial recognition and other anti-privacy measures to identify people where there is no ground to, then why shouldn't the people be able to do that?

Edit: I am not from the US and my look on life and trias political situations is different than what the fuck is happening in the US

Everybody needs to also stop using Mastercard/Visa/Paypal.

Proton itself never directly commited on anything from Trump in a positive way.

Their current CEO Andy Yen posted this Tweet. Yes he is an idiot and even doubled down on it with the Proton account Now I am not from a country with a 2 party system, but last time I checked agreeing with one statement from somebody doesn't mean you support them. Heck finding common ground is often a way to find compromises.

Do what you want and don't support them if you don't want them, but don't act like the company Proton is a Trump supporter. Heck there are a lot of articles on the Proton site which are pro privacy and pro consumer.

Yeah you are totally right, we shouldn't think of corporations as friends.

There is however a difference and that is that Valve is a private company while others like Amazon are publicly traded and therefore even more profit-orientated. As long as Valve makes enough profit to be able to cope with a couple bad years it is doing alright.

It is AI slop, but that tape is just painters tape

Yes this is a bribe. Period.

If you wanna play the game, pirate it and then play it offline.

I don't mind the old system of one or two ads on a page or a 10-second ad at the start of a YouTube video if they don't track their users. But these days it is growing out of proportions, we are almost at American television with the amount of ad breaks in a YouTube video, and it's absurd.

I rather have that than the prices excluding tax

These vehciles should be banned for personal use and only allow businesses to buy them. That will reduce the amount of morons doong shit like this

Age verification has it's place online, but not for porn. That is just gonna push peopel to worse sites.

For gambling and stock market sites and the like I can understand it, but I would prefer if we wouldn't need to send our ID to those sites. Heck if Valve would implement it I could actually gamble on steam again cause currently I cannot open a Tf2 crate ...

There is no denying it any more, the US is a very corrupt country

Just get rid of as much American software as you can. The US is a mess and the cloud act will always be abused.

Edit: or open source software

Just educate kids on sex. The sites from Pornhub are way better than the virus filled alternatives with way worse kinds of porn.

I kinda want to see what they handed over. They cannot get around the fact that they need to be able to handover data when legally asked with a warrant.

But I do kinda want to see if it is actually useless metadata or it is just our entire history.

There is a huge difference between a company being very protective about their intellectual property and somebody actively working on destroying lives on humans.
