This reads like an email or news message you find on random computers in dystopian computer games like Deus Ex or Cyberpunk 2077.

Money probably really doesn't make you happy. Most of the things that make me happy have nothing to do with me being able to buy crap I don't need.

But that dumb sentiment hides the fact that a lack of money can definitely make you miserable.

Only the people that never had stress over dentist of vet bills will suggest money is somehow not a massive factor in determining your quality of life in a capitalist society.

Yeah. For single parents and such maybe. But mostly I want to get back to where you can just live off of one FT income so this whole problem doesn't exist.

This gives me the same vibe as all those "feelgood" stories about communities coming together to pay for some valued member's back surgery or cancer treatment or something.

It's nice people do that, but what about people that are less liked, and how is it that we have so much wealth going around, and yet extremely basic things like healthcare are still factors people need to concern themselves with being able to afford?

We need to normalize banning politicians caught with their pants on fire.

Nobody that is even vagualy familiair with how internet works knows Elon can't know where the attack is coming from. Cirtainly not so quickly.

Even if somebody only leveraged their botnet in Ukraine it could be his next door neighbour beeing the actual puppetmaster.

Origin IP's mean zilch.

But ofcourse the people to whom he is Jesus himself will just gobble that conjecture up like it's mama's paella.

Proton did not praise Trump. Their CEO praised a choice Trump made. You're obviously free to consider Yen's word equal to Proton's word but this isn't true for everybody.

They are like Apple: telling people what they want to hear about privacy, and we all swallowed the pill.

Unlike Apple, Proton's software being open source (and by extension their promises) can be vetted by anybody with the skills.

This is a fair assessment, though isn't all the meta crap connected?

With which I mean don't Facebook posts sync to threads and such? I know my Instagram posts synced with Facebook when I still had Facebook.

So we can add "illegal" to the list of words Trump uses but doesn't know the meaning of.

The best option here is to just tank Chrome's market share instead of making something that's obviously not ideal, work.
