...they're calling everyone still stuck in the US who hasn't gone out in a blaze of glory a bootlicker from whatever comfy bolthole they've been blessed with. Not an option for the vast majority of us, especially those who actually need it. They aren't stuck in the same boat, they're very clear (and smug, and self-righteous) about that. It's exactly what irritated me. Dunno why you felt the need to involve yourself, or what truth you're finding so resonant

Wherever you go, there you are. Start a garden, learn first aid, get a gun, and most important of all meet your neighbors.

e: oh yeah and if you do make it to paradise maybe avoid talking shit about those of us left behind

How about a privacy company promoting privacy? Whether or not it's "political" depends entirely on whether or not you choose to apply that perspective. They're doing the same thing they've always done, and I'm pretty sure the motivation is to maintain their rep/get paid rather than exert influence somehow

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" is the full quote he used there. It's a call to revolutionary action by Thomas Jefferson. He's condemning the lack of some kind of violent response to the Jan 6th stuff while himself big chillin somewhere cozy on the wealth he managed to extract from the USA (read: it's victims around the world). Feels a lot less like a persecuted jew taking flight, and a lot more like someone's nephew setting up shop in Argentina.

Whether or not you can make a difference by standing your ground and showing a little solidarity is a whole other can of worms, more debatable but I'm stuck here and can't help resenting someone who's clearly got the resources to help for bailing instead. If you can't see any virtue bravery or solidarity in the people who helped one another survive ghettos and concentration camps, the people who smuggled those actually in danger to freedom, or the people who formed literal armed resistance movements I really don't know what to tell you

I mean.. It's not "your" money, they didn't create the map, and it seems pretty relevant to the rest of their services to me. Would be lit if they put out a privacy respecting navigation app with avoiding em as a feature, I'm about it. Kinda hard to see your take here as genuine, not sure what motivates it

One of my most told animal stories is about a raven who learned to imitate the iOS message notification and used that to prank people. He'd wait in a tree, make the noise when they were close, and then swoop in laughing if they pulled their phone out, extra hard if they dropped it

Anyways that's one of the experiences that proved to me that intelligence or consciousness or w/e is not even close to a uniquely human trait. At this point it seems like an insanely arrogant and foolish assumption to ever have made, see also the impossibility of designing a trash can to keep out smart bears but not dumb humans

Boobies

Gotcha. I first heard about them through their VPN service, see privacy itself as their core product, and email/storage/calendar etc as very logical ways of delivering that same product that navigation or map data in general would be a great addition to. Being a privacy provider in a system so focused on surveillance and manipulation seems pretty "political" in the way you're using the term no matter what. A proton abstaining from politics in that sense would just be google. Your definition of political seems to be related to how much friction is generated with the establishment, and imo their willingness to provide that friction is exactly what people are paying them for. If all you care about is a working email service, gmail is great. Better even, not to mention free.

That working for a paycheck sucks, and we've less "taken over" the world than cut ourselves off from it

I wonder what he did lol

The day I quit shoplifting from walmart is the day they quit calling it shoplifting (I will never quit shoplifting from walmart)

This person needs to drink more water. No comment re: their masturbation habits

You filled a bag and ran bro. Not sure why you're so proud of that. You're a beneficiary of the burg reich who timed things well enough to avoid consequences smugly dismissing those of us still being tread on as bootlickers and it really rubs me the wrong way

Unlike deceiving your fellow man, lying to cops grants a sense of peace and rightness. Trying to tell them the truth is what makes people nervous, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law after all

Legend. In retrospect probably should've been able to figure that out, but thanks for walking me through it :)

It's not a federation issue, that's where my only account was until I registered this one today. Day or two is nbd and has happened before, but this is day 3 or 4 and I'm starting to wonder

This would be day 3 or 4 since I noticed, being down for a day or so once in a while isn't unusual but it's starting to seem like something more serious. This message has replaced the whole site for now, that hasn't happened before.

"This website is currently offline due to an hardware issue that can't be resolved quickly.

It is possible that it will only be restored in December 2026. Sorry.

For urgent questions please contact [email protected]"

Emailing that address would be the obvious move, but 1. it's not particularly urgent 2. I'm too noided to expose my email and 3. f-hub itself seems to be down as well

Happens to the best of us. I'm just glad it's a glitch not a crisis, and temporary not permanent :)

Thank you for your service, and thanks for the update. Would an IP KVM help here? Know some of them can cycle power remotely, and they're getting a lot cheaper
