When one political party is conservative and the other one is literally authoritarian I have zero sympathy for anyone supporting them.
Supporting his choices and the Republican party at large is the problematic part. I don't care if he loves Trump or not.
"Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills fora vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses."
Disagree, it completely reads as a tweet supporting trump, and the "official response" that was later contracted by a more moderate official response definitely felt like a rant.
I've been watching Proton since then and they've very much backed away from the ceo's pro-Trump pro-Republican position, so I've continued to use their services, but mostly because I've already invested time and money into using them. But they lost my trust and I have not recommended them in the same way I used it before this happened.
I do not perfectly manage my email inbox, and I've become absolutely dependent on their automatic Priority / Updates / Promotions etc. Classifications, as well as their features that surface important emails, or things you might want to respond to that you forgot...
Like most things, it's not so black and white as Louis paints it. What products you buy and use absolutely is a political choice, but perfection isn't the goal. No one has to be a "perfect" consumer to avoid the low hanging fruit like Chick-fil-A or today's Tesla if those are important issues to you.
One criticism I saw was that if you want to verify, you have to use a Google Form and log in with a Google account, which goes against lots of people's efforts to get off Google.
In a way it was a breath of fresh a air to hear the high honestly described in a way that makes it understandable why people would want to do it again, but also how it will never, ever be as good as the first time, and will ruin your life.
It's the same, Star Trek uses technobabble and Star Wars uses non-verbal technobabble to explain FTL
I tried it awhile ago, but it's too easy to accidentally spill water on the bed when you're trying to drink from it. Also the hydration reservoirs are tricky to keep clean.
They're not too bad, just start with them inside out, grab the corners, and pull through. And it makes it easier to make the bed later because you don't have to deal with the top sheet.
It's also a change in mindset. If you know there won't be trash cans, you'll bring less trash with you. That's why national parks advertise "pack it in, pack it out" so you don't get people using the "disposable single use tents" or bring in other items that generate trash that ends up in the park.
One thing it took me SO LONG to figure out is us normies call the whole thing "sinuses" but to the science hippies, the sinuses and the nasal cavity are different things. All of which can be clogged with mucus that regenerates.
