Which ads would feature the common, uncommon and rare Shatner if that one is already legendary?

Yeah in theory that’s a 50h game, but I can turn any game with a nonlinear plot into a 500h game, give me a side quest I love, a mini game or an open world that’s interesting enough and I’ll never finish the main quest.

Unlike some I’m not here to insult other people :)
Yeah you have a point there and I totally get how my comment was a bit shortsighted on that end, but I was just weirded out by the fact that a CEO’s political position is supposed to be indicative of the future actions/positions of a company. Sure it’s not entirely unlikely that it might affect the company in the future, but OPs post just felt a little like fearmongering to me.

Yeah you’re right, I hadn’t considered that because I never paid a single cent for anything Proton, that’s a mistake on my part. Sometimes I forget capitalism is still a thing.

A comparison of singing the praises for a modern proto-fascist movement with “secretly loving Windows” is… certainly something.

If that’s the takeaway you had from reading both of my comments then I honestly can’t help you, but I can try to spell out my intent a second time:
I deliberately chose Linus Torvalds because he’s basically Jesus of Lemmy but I didn’t expect to be called a fascist over a dumb analogy I used to show that OP might be overextrapolating a CEO’s standpoint onto a whole company. I agree that there is a not insignificant risk of this affecting the company, don’t get me wrong, but this post just feels like fearmongering.

I agree that my analogy is fucked up and a little stupid, but I was just applying OPs logic: Andy Yen doesn’t do any more for Proton than Linus Torvalds does for Linux; they’re just stand in figures that people project their love or in this case hate onto. I doubt he personally wrote a single line of code for Proton. In that case Linus Torvalds is actually way more involved with Linux than Andy Yen is with Proton; Andy Yen might have more power over Proton but afaik and like you said Proton is owned in majority by its foundation, which I hope does get a say in what they do.

Protonmail has been my main email provider for the past 7 years, and unless its CEO decides to sell it to Trump or Musk I honestly don’t see how his stupid private or not so private opinions are worth the hassle of changing my email for the million things I use my main and all the other emails I registered with Protonmail.
Most rich people have very dubious or outright awful political opinions and unless you’re rich enough to have someone build you an alternative or deconnected enough from society/only exist in programmer circles and are able to live entirely on FOSS software I don’t see why the average user should care about the CEO’s political stance. Maybe that’s my ignorant opinion as a European, but would you stop using Linux if you found out Linus Torvalds secretly loves Windows? Probably not.

As a complete chess beginner I’m so happy I understood this meme holyhell

How has nobody memed this yet? You guys seem waaay too comfortable sharing personal information for the fact that this is the website of linux nerds, don’t you care about online privacy?

If a friend was sending their pretty legally obtained books that they downloaded from different website via the TOR browser to themselves via Telegram to have an easy way to download them on their tablet, should they stop that and connect their tablet to their PC via an USB cable instead?

Asking for a friend.

So it’s yours? That’s so cool! Do you still do pixel art or have any art-related social media where one could follow you?

Just a guess, but I assume magazines are part of physical press. I know a lot of millenials (according to this definition of millenial) who buy magazines for their interests, be it music, games, geology, astronomy or history. A lot of times it overlaps with having been in tertiary education and I assume Gen Z would show similar statistics if you asked someone who was pursuing a masters degree or a doctorate.

It looks to be past-this-year-april-recent since the icon next to the username was a thing tumblr did for April Fools this year.

(Sorry old man)

It’s a screenshot of a character from the TV adaption of The Expanse, Jules-Pierre Mao. He’s famous for doing experiments with radiation ::: spoiler minor Leviathan Wakes/Season 1 spoiler and neglecting any human rights while doing so. :::

(I hope this works, it should show a shitty meme I made on my phone)

I think it’s just that trans people will find it easier to transition from one dying platform to a beautiful new one. (I’m so sorry, but you basically set up the punchline for me, I’ll show myself out now.)
