You really think what he did and how he reacted was sane? The guy is not a psychopath or cold heartless murder, and he didn’t even try to flee the scene.
I believe the most in-control character is the main girl, she’s also the most intelligent - seems to be the one to better understand everything that is going on, and her decision at the end shows she was still capable of making choices - it was also her choice to leave, wasn’t it?
The reason she carries the gun is the same reason she jokes about buying rat poison earlier, she wanted to do it long before the dance, the dance just made her lose the little faith she still had. The guy was in such a state that he would have gone along with anything she asked, his decision-making capability was completely impaired. Isn’t the dialogue before he says the movie title something like “Why did you do that?” “She asked me”. He wasn’t capable of accessing what he just did, his last rationalization is that they were just livestock, so it didn’t matter.

But back at the creator’s view, I think it’s expressed in this scene:

Why do you believe the main guy isn’t broken? He’s completely apathetic and lifeless.

They are completely sleep-deprived and exhausted, and not just physically, but also mentally and morally. They can barely see themselves as human. What the creator says isn’t about women but about people in capitalism: if they can’t produce value anymore, their lives are as worthless as a horse with a broken leg.

The second rule is live, laugh, love

What’s redditism? - I really don’t know, I only ever participated in a few subs about specific software.

“Swiss law prohibits the country’s courts from compelling a VPN service to log IP addresses”
Seems like they breached only IPs that accessed emails (I haven’t read their email terms before, but the VPN says “strict no-logs policy” - which is audited), but because of the zero-knowledge encryption they can’t access email content.

ps: Another difference is that the government had to demonstrate on court there were basis to believe certain emails were linked to criminal activity… not that I don’t believe it’s bullshit, but in the USA they can require any data for any reason without demonstrating probable cause and you can’t even mention it’s happening.

The map of space debris looks scary because each is displayed as the size of a country, while all together they would fit inside a single stadium.

Nope, that’s why independent audits exist. On a random day, technicians from other organizations show up and check how the data is being handled, and Proton has passed every audit.

The reason you can’t trust American companies on that is because of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the National Security Letter. Government agencies can force companies to hand over data or create backdoors without court orders, and the companies aren’t allowed to tell their clients about it.

Lumo by Proton is private and free, however, it’s not very good (at least on free tier).
Duck.ai claims to be private, but you can never trust an American company on that.

I’ve read somewhere that adding too much complexity just lights a beacon your way, like “look at this guy with shitty latency using all these weird ports, he must be up to something”.

However, OP just seems to want to use Tor without falling into Captcha Hell.

I never tested it, but what about having a second phone with those filters that change your appearance, and then you point your camera on its screen?

That’s exactly what the shadow government ruler would like you to believe.

The other day I saw one of those “to know who rules you, just look at who you can’t criticize” quotes, so I reached the conclusion that the person running the shadow government is Charlie Kirk.

Right now Japan is finding easier to have outsourced people operating robots in convenience stores than hiring some local… like, when you add the cost of the robot, its maintenance, and you still have to pay someone to operate it… I also don’t know why.

Well, in 2022 Qtar spent $220b to have some football matches in the desert… and didn’t the cost of launching stuff on orbit substantially decreased in the last decade? Again, give a few decades, technology makes everything easier. If you were making that same math just ten years ago, your 10x cheaper would be higher than your current estimate.

I don’t have the technical knowledge to join the discussion, but wasn’t every technology we have today considered sci-fi at some point?

Is a huge heat shield with some aerogel or something behind it to contain the heat that couldn’t be turned into energy, and then a cord to transport the energy to the aerogel-coated equipment hundreds of meters away, really so unfeasible, as better aerogel and heat-to-energy conversion technology seem to be here?

Your second link seems to be about space travel. I’m just talking about having data centers orbiting Earth, like the thousands of satellites already do.
I will bet money that at some point someone argued that communications going through satellites in space would be unpractical because of engineering and technological challenges, the stupendous cost of getting stuff up there, and monumental maintenance costs compared to just having some lines going through some street poles.

I guess they will just put more flock cams on the streets. The law say the government can’t violate your privacy without a warranty, so they are using private companies for that.

Every few decades technology severely affects the cost of everything.

edit: To people downvoting me, in the last decade the cost of sending stuff to space went from up to $20k/kg to $1.5k/kg. I don’t know how much photovoltaic technology developed in the meantime, I got my panels about ten years ago, and back then the cost and maintenance of batteries were absurdly high, but today we have better, more efficient, and way more affordable batteries.
Yes, every few decades technology severely affects the cost of everything. That’s a fact. Deal with it.

I don’t think AGPLv3 license would prevent someone from opening a nazi bar lemmy though…

"if you were in violation of lemmy’s terms of use, yeah…” wait, is there a central lemmy that can nuke other instances? I thought the whole point of the Fediverse was that if you don’t like an instance, you just defederate from it, and that there was no central power.

Yeah, we used to own the software we bought and could do whatever we wanted with it on our private storage, but now capitalism has realized it’s more lucrative to only sell licenses. Imagine Microsoft/Apple/Google erasing your privately stored documents tomorrow because they contained stuff against their policies. Very dangerous when you have governments banning abortion, trans rights, and even labeling antifascism as terrorism.

I can’t believe the number of people thinking trillion dollar mega corporations overreach is good just because it’s happening to others. Tomorrow, it’s you - that’s why we need more consumer rights and privacy protection, but the thing about rights is that they are for everyone and not just for the people you pick.
