    1. Not all English speakers are from the “west”, since it’s a lingua franca.

    2. You literally put in that the only option in developed countries is factory farmed meat, which is also not true. There’s even European countries where the factory farming of the USA isn’t allowed, and plenty of developing countries where it’s encouraged.

    3. you imply by saying only developed countries have this option, as if developing countries don’t, and for some reason bring up fucking scavanging as one of developing countries alternatives? Really? You think that lowly of them that just classic old ranching didn’t come to your mind??? The fuck dude. You just pulled a “those kids in Africa” or “the doctor is the male nurse” moment even if you didn’t mean to. You clearly haven’t traveled much.

    4. we were talking about chickens not beef.















  • Pull a trigger in the air without a gun, and see how many you kill.

    The gun is an extension of the user - without the gun, you cannot shoot, just as without a person the gun won’t shoot.

    Same is the case for words. They didn’t come out of the aether into existence, and when spoken carry the will of the speaker inherently.

    It’s not “just words”, it can be malice or hate given form - that is, after all, the point of communication; to give form of what you desire or think to others.




  • Now I’m wondering if I should switch or wait to see if he’s ousted.

    On the one hand, and least it’s a Swiss non-profit organization now that’s open sourced on the code.

    On the other hand, the CEO support JD Fucking Vance and now none of the data feels secure despite what they say about their tech.

    The most charitable interpretation is that he’s pulling an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” move, but considering Proton AG is located in Switzerland, and not the USA, that would be a profoundly stupid move since Big Tech doesn’t have the same influence in Switzerland as it does in the USA.

    The crypto shit was already making me wary in the first place too, though knowing Proton’s previous financial difficulties I kinda understood why they might make a paranoid decision to have a crypto back up.

    At this rate, I’m really gonna have to host my own server, aren’t I?

    I think instead I’ll wait and see if they sack him as CEO. I’ll give them 3 months to respond and decide while I start backing everything up for migration.
