I keep seeing folks mention that at least it is a good and secure service why should I leave? this should be why: via: https://www.404media.co/manifestos-fear-and-loser-thinking-inside-protons-ai-reckoning/

Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”

Security is suspect because the CEO is pushing devs to release code (AI-generated) to production without testing.

My fave from Scotland: “tiny fingered, Cheeto-faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon”

When I was a kid I’d always called it cow pus

There are dozens of us

Then tell them they just filled their mouth with bug secretions.

Why wait until Halloween? Go to your nearest coffee/tea shop and say it to folks who decide bug secretions are better than sugar in their beverage.

My favorite Unknown British Shakespearean Actor.

The funny thing about the green card comment is that my wife is Latina and I’m white as can be, so the person was basing their comment entirely on my accent.

When I moved to Los Angeles from N WI people would always ask where I was from; sometimes saying “no” when I said Wisconsin. When I married my wife, somebody at work said it was just so I could get a green card.

Up until my mid-teens I ate almost all the same thing, but then I made a decision to try to be open to trying to eat new things and never stopped.

I think Holtec mostly just makes storage containers for spent fuel. They’re not exactly simple, but orders of magnitude less complex than running a plant.

While a ship, the Lexx was primarily designed as a weapon that could destroy planets, so I’ll go for The Lexx.

Usually one of the Star Trek series; currently DS9.

Not really; only when somebody uses peertube to share a video

I just recently joined Lemmy; never had a redditt account. Have been using Mastodon for quite a few years now; only ever dabbled in twitter. I like that the fedi stuff seems more organic and less manipulated by algorithms, although, that also makes it easy to miss stuff as well. Still getting a feel for Lemmy and discovering interesting communities. My ultimate social platform was Google Reader (still miss my sharebros/gals. My primary social media after the demise of GR was the comment section, BBS, of BoingBoing – we had a mass departure after the publisher did some petty bans (started our own discourse instance)

Our Atlanta, GA location has snow days when Atlanta gets more than a few cm of snow…

Don’t be Afraid of the Dark (1973) scared the crap out of young me… The little creatures lurking in the dark and dragging them away. My older sister reinforcing the fear with stories/teasing didn’t help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don’t_Be_Afraid_of_the_Dark_(1973_film) I’m sure it would be laughable now, but my sister really knew how to push my buttons.

I’m just happy when I go to a site and all the source for the page is 1st party.

I saw it yesterday with just a “4” pointing to the little piece.

Looks exactly like my Ollie… He’ll be back, but will probably poke my face with his cold wet nose before settling back down between my feet.
