Not an option in France

Where

When it comes to the discussion of securing email with PGP (in practice GPG), I always refer to this article: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/ which explains the issue quite well.

How does PGP protect email metadata?

A single domain helps so much, regardless of what you have planned. I basically use mine just as bookmarks. There’s a dedicated subdomain for dynamic DNS. I make use of SRV records. Costs me like 6 bucks a year. You don’t need huge ambitions or dreams for a domain name to make sense.

Wheel got you covered

And there’s no record that they did. Talk about missing a great opportunity

Okay, that sucks. Yeah, I bought a refurbished business device

Then the “avoid at all costs” like Dell

Must have gotten lucky then. Bought a used Dell about one and a half years ago. Everything worked out of the box

It’s obviously Biden’s and Obama’s fault, they made the stocks go so high in the first place! Not only does that mean they could buy fewer, but it also means they fall more!

Which was the whole point of the thread: it doesn’t matter by which power you get exploited, China doesn’t give a fuck about other countries either and they’ll happily fuck up other countries’ environments.

Funny because they didn’t actually invent those stories, but rather went around and collected them (which, at the time, was a huge effort). So these weren’t original stories by them in the first place.

Yes, :q! in normal mode to exit without saving changes.

Tariffs in my opinion can be a way to protect a given national industry against price dumping, especially when subsidies are involved, or if you have a specific capability in mind that you want to build nationally, but then I think subsidies are a better way, maybe in combination. But putting blanket tariffs against countries is in most cases not the best idea

Cut off the face-eating part

Well, not really. Twitter was his own private property that he bought with borrowed money secured against his Tesla shares. xAI on the other hand is financed by investors whose money he used to bail himself out at a price he made up himself since Twitter is no longer publicly traded. So this is, in my opinion, misuse of investor funds; the picture would be true if xAI used how own money to do this, but no.

On one hand,I think this is serious fraud. On the other, my understanding for anyone investing into his companies is very limited, there are so many red flags on so many levels.

But it’s geared for the convenience and privacy of the average user not military security.

Military security (or military grade whatever) is a buzzword that makes sense in some contexts. In a lot of them, it doesn’t.

For example, for a lot of military-grade products you can have assumptions that are not always given for a platform that messenger operate on. Like that the device is always stored in a secure location. That it’s administered by trained personnel. That the device operator has received training on proper usage etc. In fact, a lot of military systems probably couldn’t be operated securely in a John Doe context b because of environmental security requirements. In that regard, messengers have to be more secure.

Fast noch mehr als der offensichtliche Unsinn verärgert mich die Tatsache, dass es nicht immer Nahrungsmittel - Organ ist, sondern auch manchmal andersherum. Wobei man sich beim Ersteller durchaus fragen darf, ob da vielleicht nicht nur eine Walnuss im Kopf rumliegt…

It appears that Germany has updated their information several times. So much so that your second link gives me a 404 error

It hasn’t been updated, but Lemmy thinks the colon is part of the URL. https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250 it’s not about the US but South Sudan, to show what an official travel warning looks like. The US page is just advisory.

Germany

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany has not issued any travel warnings. The page with information to the US is the following: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/usa-node/usavereinigtestaatensicherheit-201382. It contains only information, but no advisory against traveling which a warning usually contains stuff that one might call warnings, but they formally aren’t. Compare it with https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250: The title of the page contains “(Reisewarnung)” which translates to “warning against travel”. The page contains the wording “Vor Reisen nach X wird gewarnt”. Only those constitute a warning. No such warning can be found on the page about the US.

Personally, I can only advise against traveling there, but the page for the US has existed basically always. New information was added this month, but the official status / stance on US travel hasn’t changed: the US is on the same level as France and Spain.
