They can’t have both: exposure AND content only available on their platform

But preventing me from running a normal bitcoin node on my server, which writes 400GB once and is done makes me left confused.

It gets really annoying when you want to sign into $service on those machines, but you need to use a magic link. Because the you need to login into your gmail, which requires an additional 2fa (and you can’t receive sms in a building that has 6 stories but no femto cells).

Unfortunately google requires either their app or SMS. They dropped pure totp for some reason.

Awful experience.

I once had such a job and it was horrible: I worked as an amazon warehouse associate, basically just receiving packages, sorting items, putting a barcode with asin on it, done. Loop this for 8 hours plus some additional pressure from team leads.

In the evening I didn’t even have the energy left to have any kind of “life“; and I really hated that job, so it was even more exhausting and tiring.

Now I have a job which really fulfills me, and I don’t even see it as work anymore. I have no issue with staying late, and I actually want to stay late often in order to get my stuff done; also still working at home and researching stuff in my free time. But now I don’t really have this clear border what some call work-life balance.

My opinion might not be agreeable for everyone, but maybe this viewpoint helps someone else.

You can also just close it without any issue.

But the login walls on insta and twitter on the other hand...

PS: I dislike CF for the captcha garbage when browsing the net from untrusted IPs or whatever their reasoning is. Also, being political as an infrastructure provider is a hot iron, I’d prefer total neutrality like I get from my ISP or even electricity provider. They don’t care what I do, as long as it’s legal.

So, uh, it just works?

I think they were just… extremely incompetent.

Their balance sheet with „semi liquid“ (whatever that means!) assets and trying to apply arithmetic operations on an excel cell called „Hidden, poorly internally labeled ‘fiat@’ account“ pretty much reflects this.

But: It’s not hard to say „no, I have never seen him doing drugs“ or whatever.

Don’t expect everyone to say the truth just because game theory suggests to optimize for individual rather than mutual reward.

I am 25.

Friends are those relationships which I made during childhood. I still keep those relationships up. We have a much stronger bond through the stuff we have been through together.

I think friendship needs very strong loyality which is just not given in a normal work environment. Eg I’d never lie in court for my acquaintances, but I have certainly for my friends.

Newsrooms are completely different from investigative digging into stuff.

If you are not a small retail and want to trade crypto, you usually need to use futures - which are associated with fees - because of liquidity and tighter spreads.

So, there is no interesting lore behind it?

You can do the same on the fediverse and create your own homogeneous feed.

The email stays encrypted on the server, and this extension only decrypts it locally like it would happen in the web browser.

> You use Proton Bridge to walk your secure email beyond that enclave into whatever YOU are running in your userland scenario.

Look, if I won’t trust the software which is running in my userspace, I’m doing something wrong anyway. Even if I wouldn’t use this extension, a malicious userspace application would still hook itself into your webbrowser, or simply steal cookies/tokens from your browser’s profile folder and hijack the protonmail session.

> Which begs the question, why would you use Proton Mail if you’re gonna negate its unique value proposition?

If I’m not mistaken with my assumptions at the top, the email still stays encrypted everywhere except on my PC. I don’t trust the mail provider, and I don’t trust protonmail. Protonmail could just change their web app at any moment to upload your second password which is used for unlocking your keys, and you wouldn’t notice. This can’t happen with an extension which doesn’t even have an auto updater.

Anyway, it goes both ways. And some people just want to use their email client, instead of a web app.
