At least GrapheneOS isn't something I'd pay for

It's not E2E encrypted unless you're using PGP or emailing another Proton user, which is basically nobody for most people. They do encrypt your email when it arrives in a way that is supposed to make them inaccessible to them (which is more than what most email providers do), so you'd need to trust that they're not intercepting your emails and storing them somewhere unencrypted. Stuff like SimpleX/Cwtch/Signal is E2E encrypted though by default so their security is a lot better

Tuta is used by the CIA for people who are afraid of Proton having ties with the CIA

I was on a trip for a few weeks to visit family, and just a few days after I got there my server went down and I lost access to all my stuff (I'm about to fix it when I return tomorrow). Stuff like that is why I will never self-host something as critical as email

If you self host it, do it on a VPS so if you're out of town and it goes down, you don't lose a month's worth of emails

dihydrogen monoxide is also dangerous, we must ban it as well

and move where? to another country electing fascists?

TikTok is popular because it's addicting, not because it's useful, so I don't understand why anyone would use this.

Doesn't NYT cut off most of the article now? I used to just be able to disable JS but that didn't work anymore last I checked.

I'm a duck btw

Fedora is a good middle ground, it's what Asahi Linux uses as its official distro

My high school from a red state was like 99% white and also 99% conservative and had this attitude of racism is bad but also racism doesn't exist anymore then proceeds to make racist jokes and support racist politics (including students who were very academically focused), although it never evolved to anything as stupid as taking a group photo holding up a racial slur. There was a lot of stuff from there though that seemed normal at the time then after I left realized how fucked it was, and I know of other people who think the same thing.
