“If the Naomi be Klein/ you’re doing just fine./ If the Naomi be Wolf/ Oh, buddy. Ooooof.”

Jumped a little when I saw the name.

I wanna get it on the record that even most gingers are against genocide.

Ed just sucks.

You're right that we should hold companies to account and expect them to do homework. Vigilance is good. Let's extend that vigilance to monitoring Proton too. I think they'd approve of that.

Below is some stuff I think is interesting, but that is tangential and not intended as either endorsement or condemnation of Proton. (All intended in good faith!)

Your comment prompted me to look up their finances. For anyone interested, Proton AG seems to be valued at about 300 million (https://getlatka.com/companies/protonmail). However, I didn't realize they are majority owned by a non-profit.

Some personal reflection, I am a French citizen living outside France (dual national). I had not heard of this guy. I probably should have. This is the kind of low awareness that makes me feel guilty about voting in the FR elections.

Lord above. I thought this was an urban myth. Although I guess the mere fact that such a thing could even enter the public awareness demonstrates how badly women can get treated by health services.

Fun fact, if you speak Norwegian, Mr Mobilek actually confesses to everything at the start of the series.

See timestamp 8:26 for Proton banner adds. I don't speak the language so I can't tell what's actually being said, but it has all the aesthetic of an advertisement.

I'm very disappointed in Proton. This level of carelessness has been enough to make me permanently avoid some software/services. I feel like I'm clutching at straws to find a reason I shouldn't stop using them. Shooting from the hip and sponsoring multiple far right folks should be disqualifying to anybody patronizing them for ethical reasons.

I'm hoping that I have not correctly understood the situation.

Something a'int right bout that Mobilek guy.

I mean, I love loving so I support you.

I just don't want you to end up like Mrs Mobilek (they never found her battery).

C'est un personnage fictif qui est "originale" - alors pas un personnage connu. Le terme vient du monde "fan fiction". C'était pour décrire un personnage qui était rajouté au texte original. Par exemple, j'imagine un OC pour Star Wars. C'est Robert Solo, le frère de Han. Il est vachement plus joli, plus fort, et il me ressemble.

De nos jours, ça décrit tout simplement un personnage inconnu. Pas nécessairement connecté à un texte plus celebre. Dans le contexte due poste, c'est soit entièrement imaginé, soit créé par une toute petite communauté. Peut-être en décrivant le personnage, le posteur sera trouvable.

Pardon pour mes fautes de grammaire. Je n'ai pas un spellcheck français installé, alors c'est un peu le bordel.

Adding perhaps an additional layer of nuance - You're totally right that there is an nomenclature issue around AI, and that the technology (basically like most technology) is value neutral. But, I think it remains a valid decision to make a choice to personally avoid it, and to engage with services and communities accordingly.

I'm perfectly happy to agree that there is "AI" use which is groovy. Maybe as result of narrowing the definition or using it conscientiously. I understand the difference forms it can come in. But me, personally, I want to use a service that strives for no AI, regardless of if it is good, bad, or neutral. Searching for a niche like this is actually why I started using lemmy (pretty recently).

I don't begrudge lemmy taking an approach like "AI must be disclosed and reviewed" as suggested here (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/pull/414/changes). Let Lemmy party however it wants! Honestly, I appreciate the disclosure, because it lets me know upfront that this isn't the niche I was looking for. No shade, but I'm out. Nothing but peace and love to everybody who remains.

I use Adobe Acrobat professionally. I am also on Linux as a daily driver.

Bad news, it's very very difficult.

If your gf's use case involves sharing PDFs with other people at scale, there just isn't a "low tech" solution. Every workaround I use involves some level of programmatic nonsense. For reading and relatively simple tasks, many of the open source alternatives do wonders, but they aren't able to replicate some of the heavier features. Even when they are, you loose compatibility; something critical in certain workflows.

I am stubborn. I force my gimp files upon my Photoshop using colleagues. I edit videos in Blender instead of Premiere Pro (would recommend). I send open source documents and spreadsheets that work neither with my Google nor Microsoft devoted co-workers. But Adobe Acrobat wins. The FOSS readers are probably better, but for interactive, highly formatted outputs you can't get around it.

I have a lonely second box at my work that I reluctantly boot windows on. I too would love an alternative.

This is some interesting context, which I was aware of but never properly considered. I think this has given me a better appreciation of Lynch. I saw Twin Peaks well after it was made. I also saw it after having been exposed to a lot of alternative cinema. I think I missed the chance to love it, both from a era of film perspective and from a gateway into more weird stuff perspective.

Hey, thanks for the recommend. I was looking to expierment outside Debian and NetBSD seems like a really cool option.

That's good to know! I appreciate the context.

I think this is an excellent suggestion. I used Cloudflare tunnels until recently, and it was very effective. However, I stopped because of a minor issue, which I'll mention in case its a deal breaker for anyone.

Technically, using Cloudflare tunnels for Jellyfin is a ToS violation. You're only allowed to do so if you have an enterprise account, which is quite expensive.

I heard from a "friend of a friend" that everyday users don't need to worry about this. Cloudflare are aware of people using tunnels with Jellyfin and they aren't fussed. The rule is supposedly there to combat large scale piracy.

However, I have heard that cloudflare does decide to start caring if they can use jellyfin use as an extra excuse to kick anybody involved in other ToS violations.

In all likelihood, this won't be a problem for you. While I used tunnels, they worked perfectly. However, given that you are going to go to the effort of sorting out some level of infrastructure for yourself, its something to keep in mind.

De l'anglais "original character".

Je ne connais pas trops Brice de Nice, mais c'est assez similaire.

I share this opinion! I really don't like Lynch's work. All the best to everybody who enjoys it, but it isn't for me.

My main reason (please feel free to relentlessly mock me) is that his films feel like they are hovering in this hybrid point between being "mainstream" and art house. As a result, they just fall flat on both fronts.

I also feel that he pretends that there's more depth behind some of his arbitrary decisions than there really are. Its fine to be instinctual in filmmaking, to do stuff that's random, and play with ambiguity, but often it seems like he will play coy and imply a lot of thought went into incidental elements. These points are often contradicted by BTS footage.

Fellini feels Lynchlike to me, but I think Fellini's weirdness feels so much deeper and more nuanced because he isn't afraid to really openly discuss his thoughts and reasoning.

Still, I will admit that Lynch had great style. I'm glad he pushed many people towards stranger cinema. On that front, he's world class.

I overestimated the popularity of that quote!

It's as described elsewhere in the thread. She was an academic with good but incomplete early work, that pivoted hard into the conspiracy world. However because of some almost spooky but incidental similarities to the excellent Naomi Klein, the two were constantly mistaken for one another.

I highly recommend Klein's book Doppleganger. It's an analysis of the modern tech/media space that I imagine would very much appeal to the Fediverse user base.

I love that docs receipt feature and agree with you. Great call.

Forgive me being well-meaningly obnoxious, but make sure to get receipts outside of the Google ecosystem too. As a professional writer/editor myself, I've heard horror stories about folks losing access to an account, and therefore the receipts.

I am also skeptical of these kinds of tools.
