I get it, and please, you do you. There’s no issue.

I’d just add that I can save money using Amazon, but I try to avoid it when I can. I’ll pay a little extra when I can, for the greater good.

I think I’d need some more time to really answer, but on the outset, I find Mailbox.org’s interface more intuitive with more settings and generally feels cleaner and more streamlined. Creating aliases and domain aliases in mailbox seems more proton-like in its simplicity.

Tuta I think is more private and secure, but bits of their interface and app need polish. One reason I think Tuta is more secure despite them both touting security and privacy is that Mailbox search works immediately, whereas Tuta requires you to agree to a permission and states it stores everything locally to you so it may take up space. I think Tuta isn’t doing any server-side indexing of any kind? Unsure.

edit: Mailbox doesn’t have a native app, and Tuta has a native app but I think it’s largely a webview. Notifications work OK but you’ll click on a notification and then have to wait for the app to actually connect and resync before you can view it.

I have two domains, one in each of Tuta and Mailbox. It was originally so I could try both out, but now I figure it doesn’t hurt to keep 'em separated. I’m still new to non-proton so I am sort of still feeling things out.

Nothing really too interesting or tricky about it, just bred out of curiosity.

Since ditching Proton for Tuta and Mailbox…I haven’t missed anything and I’m saving money.

To this day, I’ve yet to find a smartwatch that I like using and find as useful versus my former Pebble and Pebble 2. Those were the days, I guess.

I don’t know if I buy voter apathy anymore. 1/3rd of the people I talk to voted 3rd party to “teach them a lesson” - fuckers taught nobody anything except the loss of democracy.

Google searches for “did biden drop out” and the like skyrocketed on election day.

It doesn’t seem like voter apathy, it seems like systemically curated stupidity and ignorance.

I think a lot of people are clinging on to this hope that “this isn’t really America” and “this doesn’t represent America”. I’m slowly coming to terms with the idea that maybe this is America and it is what America represents, and it is an ugly truth to swallow.

So…like…60%?

Alright, this ends the thread.

I sense ADHD (source: am ADHD)

I used to get job offers almost monthly, I haven’t had one in about six months. But I think it’s more due to the current economy and it being an election year than it drying up. I anticipate a bounce back Q1 or Q2 of next year.

The few cyber security people I’ve known…to work a good enough job that doesn’t pay shit, also means that due to the nature of their job they end up with clients that require drug testing or working at jobs that require it. Not an every case, but just something to be aware of.

Hope they’re ready to see me naked all day.

I’ve lived in 3 and had the luxury of them being fantastic and doing more than I expected, above and beyond and never being more than like…$50/mo. Included gym and pool access and stuff.

BUT, I have a family member who lives in one where basically everybody got hit with a roof repair bill of $30k partly due to previous management embezzlement, and it ended up being taken to the courts and crap and eventually got reduced but not eliminated. I think like half the residents sold and left in the year following.

So…it can be a crapshoot but I hear more stories that are bad than good.

Christianity.

Is it Tabasco specifically?

Because I also use Cholula, Tapatio, QM Cocoa Ghost…

+1 for Signal. I converted everyone in my friends and family circle to it …except one person, but I just ignore their texts.

Also seems like Facebook potentially played a part in their push, driven by faulty data. That’s crazy.

I just want to say this interaction made me happy and I’m glad to have witnessed it. It’s been a shit day and this cheered me up (a little).

Not me. In fact if it isn’t blocked and I can’t easily get rid of it, I’ll bail on the site altogether.

Honestly don’t understand what the benefit to anybody is. If I want to watch it, I will, if I don’t, I won’t. They’re just making the overall experience worse.

I assume it’s some bonehead manager that thinks it looks cool or will increase engagement though.

The fuck is wrong with going to the zoo? Other than if it’s a shitty zoo giving animals a shit life, but c’mon.
