Yea, we are in for a very bad ride. :(

Now? I think it has become a bigger threat for sure, but the US has been a straight up villain to the world before this.

I hate ai slop, but slop in a shitpost? im not sure how much i care. i expect a shitpost to be be shitty. there was more work in your shitpost than one of those communities that serve automated slop, so i won’t fault a shitposter for using ai here.

Snakes, rats, sharks, and pigs. These are all beautiful animals, but describe terrible humans. These animals don’t deserve the association. I agree with you, and maybe we should stick to double-crossers, snitches, shysters, and cops or find other catchy names that work.

oh! I must be confused. I usually use that list as well to find brands that support the genocide, and thought I had seen it on there.

Damn, I’ve been boycottting them for the wrong reason. I appreciate you pointing this out to me.

Costco is not good. Sure, unions are good because it causes corporations like costco to make decisions like like these, but I will never support a corporation that supports the genocide of the Palestinian people.

From what I recall, the red flags included stuff like giving the IP away of activists, having access to private keys while claiming e2e, and taking more info than they claim. I am busy atm, but i can find some links to sources when I get a chance.

edit: here is the link I said that I would find: from Hacker News

The Switzerland-based company said it received a “legally binding order from the Swiss Federal Department of Justice” related to a collective called Youth for Climate, which it was “obligated to comply with,” compelling it to handover the IP address and information related to the type of device used by the group to access the ProtonMail account.
