  • Proton just keeps getting better, it seems like they’re trying to create a suite to compete with Microsoft.

    Email, cloud storage, VPN, calendar and recently password manager.

    I do wish their VPN client for Linux was a priority sooner (they’re working on it now). Also, I can’t get email notifications on my degoogled phone because it uses Firebase for push notifications.

    Other than that, I love Proton. I pay for Proton Unlimited, I’m happy to support their growth for a great product range.







  • This comes down to the old debate over which philosophical framework is the basis for ethics and morality.

    If you’re a deontologist, you might say that Mr. Beast is not a good person because he intentionally exploits people when he provides medical care for someone, by uploading their reactions for engagement.

    However, a consequentialist would say that the outcome is more important; the means by which people receive medical care is irrelevant, and in this case, their treatment essentially necessitates compensation via engagement.







  • Zozano@lemmy.worldtoMemes@lemmy.mlWe can all agree on that, right?

    I already live in a house I don’t own.

    The real question is, would I prefer not to pay far out the ass to live here?

    What are the downsides to living in affordable government accommodation, as opposed to paying for the house over thirty years, and giving the bank a small fortune in interest?

    “UBI and stripping 1% isn’t communism”

    Sorry, I forgot that redistributing the wealth from the 1% and providing everyone with equal opportunity is not the entire premise of communism. You’re right, my bad.

    “I don’t see how that could ever go over well”

    Yes… That’s the idea…



  • Capitalism is just another step in the long line of governance systems throughout history.

    Before now, feudalism, imperialism and monarchism were important steps to building towards the world we live in today.

    Capitalism should not be the goal, it has many flaws and is not sustainable. Like it or not, communism is inevitable.
