“Not yet 31” so… 30?

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Both major political parties in the US are different degrees of right wing auth.

The two were separate signs of the increased need for privacy

Fair, but at least in the US right wing auth is a much more direct and realistic threat to people and their privacy, although left auth is bad too

If you didn’t realize the importance of privacy after the patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism, it’s definitely time to get on board asap. Get yourself and your community on signal instead of texts and tuta or proton instead of regular email, use a vpn (mullvad or proton are solid), and depending on what kinds of actions you may or may not be interested in, learn how to use tails os and tor (try to find a copy of the darknetmarket bible for a good intro)

Edit: simplex is a good alternative to signal too, and if you have a google pixel, grapheneos is solid. Next time you’re getting a new phone, get a used pixel and install it. On your computer, there’s a lot of telemetry and sketchy stuff windows does, either research and disable that or switch to linux if you can

Damn they even got cats on the moon

Did you read the study I linked? Do you have a source for your claims? “Just asking questions” is very different to asking for a source, especially when I’ve looked into it and found a study counter to your claim. For the record, I also ask for sources from people who I think are correct or mostly correct: https://slrpnk.net/comment/10039992

I wasn’t demanding they educate me, I was curious if they had a source to back up their claim.

The ones being negative are the zoos keeping animals captive for entertainment. The good of conservation and rehabilitation work doesn’t justify that

Edit: I educated myself, turns out my hunch was right and the point I was trying to make stands. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7380022/ “The 40 species of animals bred for release by zoos represented only 14% of all animal species for which conservation translocations were published and only 25% of all animal species that were bred for releases occurring in North America”

We don’t even need zoos to do the conservation work.

Here’s a more general overview https://sentientmedia.org/pros-and-cons-of-zoos/

You’re welcome for the education 😊

I commented a similar sentiment on another thread on proton wallet and got mostly upvotes, people just get wacky with the votes lol https://slrpnk.net/comment/10012391

Idk I’ve had pretty good experiences buying used ones (or new-in-box but cheaper on swappa) and using grapheneos

Should’ve done monero

Do you happen to have any stats on the percentage of animals in zoos where the goal is to release them into the wild, and maybe the percentage of ones too injured to ever be able to release?

Now do the rest of the animals!

It’s crazy that they chose bitcoin over monero

Or other externalities

Except it’s not all messaging apps cause google messages is the only android messaging app with rcs support

The epistemic status of that person saying it vs me is not all that different, neither of us have evidence to present

Proton is a government honeypot.

Are you gonna take the chance now that there are allegations against proton?

Yeah, tuta is actually on fdroid (should be the minimum bar for open source software from a company like proton) and has an efficient notification service that doesn’t depend on google services at all
