Damn. My proton plan just renewed a couple weeks ago.

I have not failed to notice that they’ve slowed focus on security oriented features and are now focused on a lot of things I don’t care about, but I didn’t realize the magnitude of the cultural problem there.

Without the security aspect, Proton is ridiculously overpriced. If they want to compete with GSuite or Zoho, they gotta come down.

I’m willing to pay premium for a niche security focused offering. I’m not willing to pay a premium for AI generated crapware.

//e was a separate model from the ][+

64kb RAM + 80col card vs 48kb/40col

How likely is it that people running abliterated models are also running with strict approval mode in their harness?

It’s written in 10k lines of bash? Why?

I loved Pirates! and spend so many hours as a teenager playing it. Not mentioned in the article was the soundtrack- it did a great job of keeping you immersed and the sound chips of the day did a good job with the symthesized harpsichord.

I am actually building the exact same thing- encrypted vaults for files or folders, encrypted with a biometric gated key in the Secure Enclave!

I can’t stand the current trend in social media posting.

It’s not writing, it’s crap.

A few sentences.

Alone.

Incorrect grammar.

Not sentences, just phrases.

You’re supposed to think it has more impact.

It doesn’t.

If you can’t be bothered to write your own words on social media, then just don’t post.

“Applied the law equally” referred to politicians- did they allow something in some cases but not others, eg “selective enforcement”.

Your response was “I’d like to live in your world”, implying that you believe that it’s rarely the case that people can get government officials on the stand. That’s true for most people, but not true for people with deep pockets for lawyers.

I brought up Musk because Starlink was mentioned as the data center owner.

I do believe that you get more justice if you can afford to fight the government on its own terms in a courtroom. I don’t celebrate that.

I don’t have that kind of clout or money, but Elon does.

Of course that’s a silly turn of phrase but there is a grain of truth.

Most people believe that the law should mirror the ethics or morality of the society, and absent something clearly harmful, most people don’t understand why something with nobody clearly harmed should be illegal.

Prime with good marbling + sous-vide makes it easy for beginners to match steaks from the best steakhouses.

Of course the government has permission to punish crime. However government officials might find themselves in a courtroom having to demonstrate how they applied the law equally, and would be subject to discovery to see if they were being corruptly influenced (there is organization and international funding for the anti-data center movement in the US”; there is very little grassroots opposition other than typical NIMBYism you see in all development projects).

And the government would have to pay to fight and might be on the hook if they lost.

And “clearly breaking the law” isn’t always clear; I don’t k ow anything about this particular case but it sounds like zoning or applying utility laws to non-utility companies or environmental regulations being used to make construction financially untenable. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for opposition to off-grid natural gas turbines; you don’t get much cleaner off grid power that works 24x7.

Never seen anyone #E6FFF8 (bottom right corner).

An albino that consumed too much colloidal silver for years?

Well hopefully we will see the LLMs come up with some epic segues from responses into ads. I foresee a new Reddit channel.
