What are you talking about? Abolition of slavery was very much a progressive position.

Reality has a liberal bias.

Yup. It’s often easier to ignore a question than consider the possibility that we’re mistaken.

Ex-dictator

Calling Ferdinand Marcos “ex-president” is like referring to United Fruit a “former fruit company”. It isn’t technically wrong but it buries the lede a bit.

Out of curiosity, what do think were the three main things the FTC worked on last year?

The fact that you were unaware of what they do has no bearing on the massive amount of work they actually accomplish.

Couldn’t agree more. And they want that control because of greed.

They’re describing LORAN.

What workplace is this that has dorms?

It is.

And now I’ve ditched Proton. Andy Yen’s comments made me skeptical, but I was still confident that their mission was intact. This move, to a social media platform with a demonstrated willingness to censor non-corporatist views, confirms my fears that they are giving up their principles.

I think this is right on the money.

Bitwarden integrates directly with several email alias providers: https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/

What do you mean by that?

True, but that’s defense by concealment. If they notice the domain, they can block it without harming their business. My argument is that iCloud is too large for them to block.

There are other options for email aliases. iCloud has a pretty robust system, and its ubiquity makes it less likely to be filtered.

You’ve got two Cleopatra stories mixed up there.

She was said to bathe in ass’s (donkey’s) milk.

She killed herself by holding an asp (snake) to her breast.

Not going to disagree with that, but you’re responding to somebody who obviously has no background in physics, and it strikes me as a reasonable balance between conceptual (“hand wavy”) and detailed enough.

This is an excellently written response.

It’s utterly bizarre. The customers lose out by receiving an inferior product at the same cost. The workers lose out by having their employment terminated. And even the company loses out by having its reputation squandered. The only people who gain are the executives and the ownership.
