And of fucking course @protonprivacy's politics are the centrist-y republican bullshit that plagues the tech community.

Goes to show: Whether they pretend to support Openness or Privacy, they're all just Republicans in All Birds. They don't believe in their website's marketing language.

The more I think about it the more disturbing @protonprivacy's justification for handing over credit card data becomes.

By their reasoning, anyone who speaks out against our government is default suspicious and associated with crimes that may or may not have even happened.

Encrypt whatever you want, but if this is Proton's politics, then their tools are completely unsafe for anyone who dare question the US government.

The Stop Cop City story is filled with bone-chilling state overreach.

APD and GBI tried (and failed) to charge an activist group with RICO. A SWAT team raided an activist's home, and arrested 3 on charges of money laundering.

https://theintercept.com/2023/05/31/cop-city-bail-fund-protest-raid-atlanta/

There's a recording of cops admitting to "going after their money." The activist group in question raises bail money for protesters. APD wanted to disrupt protesters' ability to legally defend themselves.

Also, notice how @protonprivacy claims a cop was "shot." Not even the cops' testimony claims this. APD claimed a cop was "injured." There was no bullet wound. But even that account is suspect since no gun powder was found on Terán's hands.

What we did find was 57 bullet wounds on Terán's body, and an autopsy report that showed Terán had his hands raised when APD opened fire on him. No body cam footage exists.

This was a cold blooded murder that APD tried to cover up.

It is not a referendum on joining the EU! Just on whether the negotiations should continue. The aim is to add democratic legitimacy to the process.

Monarch title sequence.

Following up on my obsession with title sequences... As I've said before, I find the decisions about what stories they choose to tell, and under such constraints, fascinating. So every time a new season of a show starts, I pick them apart to see what subtle changes they made.

Monarch, Legacy of Monsters has a fantastic title sequence. Since the show takes place in two timelines, they split the titles between the past on the left and the...

So, heading into the weekend, it seems likely we’re in for an energy and fertiliser crisis on top of one of the largest financial bubble in history, one that’s already showing signs of instability, in a world economy wracked by inflation, fascism, and increasingly dysfunctional software?

Fun times!

@soatok while its always bad when this sort of thing happens, as I'm always reminded, every single company offering any sort of service in this world WILL either have to hand over whatever info they have (maybe very very little) to law enforcement OR shut down.

Those are the two options. If a sufficiently legal request comes in, they HAVE to comply or cease to exist.

Mullvad has a solid approach to this in that you only have an account number and simply add credit to that account AND accept crypto or cash (and apparently delete any card payment details after a short amount of time) but even that's not perfect.

@protonprivacy was extra sleazy by invoking the shooting at a cop incident to justify handing over the data, as if the person in question was a suspect (they weren't).

In fact, this story of a cop being shot at was used to justify cops murdering a protester Manuel Paez Terán who was found dead with multiple gun shot wounds in his back, implying he was attempting to fee when murdered.

Proton out here acting like a cop. This is cop behavior. I don't do business with cops. Fuck Proton.
