The short answer is it’s about more than the person. I can’t speak for others but I wouldn’t argue that he’s not a prick. But honestly, what exactly is cowardly about self-preservation? Do you think Chelsea Manning wouldn’t have jumped ship

If it’s not supposed to make money, what do you think it does?

There is some nuance required here, since ‘corporation’ is such a vague term. Even Mozilla Corporation, which is wholly owned by the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation, is a for-profit organisation (i.e. it aims to turn a profit and is taxed

Read between the lines. It is highly questionable that there is actual evidence that he has committed conspiracy - in a perfect world, we would let the courts decide this, but it is obvious that it is not in the interests of the US governme

Many I’m sure. Mailbox.org does, and that’s the service I use.

Source? I'd guess that that evidence would be inadmissible in a criminal case.

I suppose what I meant to say was ‘in a criminal case’. You can be compelled to give evidence against yourself in non-criminal cases in the US too, the fifth amendment provides for protection only in criminal cases. I’m not sure if you can

I’m sure an argument can be made that privacy extends from property, but that argument would have to be fleshed our and defended - I’m not sure I can accept at face value a point about there not being a right to property in Australia (essen

This happens in a lot of countries and is a problem. That doesn’t mean that rights to private/personal property aren’t guaranteed by law in Australia, just that the law is skirted by monied interests. The farmers you talk about would l

I guess it’s just the way you look at it, and maybe even what your priorities are in choosing an email service. To me at least, I’m thoroughly disinterested in an email service which doesn’t implement IMAPS.

For what it’s worth, email is not a private protocol/platform - some degree of encryption-at-rest and privacy-respecting SOPs can give services like Fastmail a fairly good screen against private malicious actors, but you should never c

Who could have guessed that laws which turn encryption into a legal quagmire in Auatralia would make companies that do encryption things less interested in working in Australia ...

You can have your views about what constitutes free speech, but the fact that US constitution is interpreted as considering hate speech to be free speech is irrelevant to your response to OP, as NZ is not under the jurisdiction of the US. T

It's so good. It's incredibly simple and fast (it's just a script which works as a front end to git and GPG); it's very well documented and there are only a few commands you need; devices are sync'd by way of git; i

You should be able to route all traffic through to the VPN by setting AllowedIPs to 0.0.0.0/0.

The worst thing I’ve noticed is, when you disable updates on windows 10, you’re notified that you can disable for 30 days, and then if you want to disable it again, you have to do updates first. Keeping your machine updated is a good idea a
