Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain

No company is going to legally go to bat for you for $10/mo. I love how Proton nonchalantly calls out the user's dumb move in the article:

Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper OpSec, such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method. Note, Proton does not require adding a recovery address as this information can in theory be turned over under Swiss court order...

After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law

“I know I will respect the limits of presidential power as I have for the three-and-a-half years, but any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law,”

"Yes we may be in a steel cage wrestling match. But I'm still going to follow gentlemens rules. Those tables, chairs and ladders are off-limits to me; My moral superiority will win the day."

Tom Howard voiceover: "It didn't"

Gone but not forgotten

It's killing me I'll be moved out of this house in a couple weeks and have to leave my friends Klaatu and Chauncy in the ground here.

I'm overprotective of my cats even in passing. A couple years ago a local utility company was moving their lines and someone was showing me where they would be trenching through my yard.

"I've got a cat buried right here"

He chuckled like I was making a joke.

"No, I'm serious. If that gets desecrated; It will be a bad day for everyone involved."

They steered clear. (Sorry, I'm just sad rambling now).

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
