It's not about empathy or kindness or any of that dumb shit.
It's about the simple fact that capitalist economics can't exist in perpetuity without an exploitable population, if most people are no longer able to work, push enough people to enough desperation and they will kill you if it keeps them warm, and there ain't enough bullets in the world that'll stop all of them.
On the other hand if you make sure the people have their bread, then one of them might become the nurse that'll make you comfortable when you pass away, or a scientist that'll cure you when you're sick, or a techbro who'll invent something that you'll like, or a writer who'll make a good show you'll enjoy, or whatever, really.
If you're a true egoist, you're an altruist also. Libertarianism would've been cool, but it just isn't actually possible, and people like Musk aren't libertarians, no libertarian could argue against trans people because a true lolbert would know it's people's economic freedom all the same.
People like Musk are actual nazis who keep the wignaggery on the DL because it's unpalatable. They're not your friends, but collectively (rather than individually), humanity is your friend.
Hello Reddit!
While on the surface I'm very tempted to say "broken clock", it's far more likely that their aim isn't a gift to the commons, but to instead have the free reign to stomp out smaller players in the data harvesting space with raw monetary power through corporate espionage and hoard more data and create better AI models to replace more workers and cut costs.

I've been debating whether or not I experience empathy, because I certainly do not do any of that "mirroring" shite the school PD teacher tried to convince me exists (which I'm still not entirely convinced exists as an adult) and most of the time people try to guess how I am feeling they are incredibly wrong and I really have no clue how anyone else is feeling or what the fuck is going on in their heads.
I'm pretty observant and if I think about it I'm usually accurate enough for basically a blind guess, but it seldom if ever involves anything to do with emotions and is definitely not automatic. I definitely do not experience anything resembling their mind state as a sort of dream or hallucination much like how I don't experience memories as visions, it's more like raw data from which different types of constructs can be made, and I analyze them like I analyze the logic of an argument, or the flow of a computer program or any other such system.
I also don't feel feelings by proxy, if anything - if I was having a shit day and someone else was happy I'd probably seethe about the fact I'm not doing well also, the most comforting thing to me in misery is commiseration. E.g. if I sprained my wrist I'd go read stories of others doing so, and feel better because now I know it could be worse and that I'm not alone in the experience. This to me is just basic solidarity. But I wouldn't go reading about people having good days with unsprained wrists because I'd just feel shittier about my own luck then.
And I generally do hate people, at least as individuals, I would pay good money to be as far the fuck away from most of them as possible and I see interactions on the internet as a much needed upgrade to the in-person stuff, but I don't wish any harm to humanity or any particular innate-characteristic-based grouping thereof collectively, in fact I have a really strong sense of justice (and a huge disdain for injustice and inequality) and highly egalitarian values overall, not because I have empathy for some individual(s), but because it's a better future for everyone that we can build, which is just conceptually satisfying for the lack of a better word, and humanism and leftism are just appropriate frameworks for creating such a world I think. I'm def one of those people who wouldn't hurt a fly.
Tribalism is utterly foreign to me, yet at the same time I believe loyalty to your friends and S.O. and any other found family are everything. I'm generally pretty emotional myself, not to like a negative degree, but I do experience them.
So idk, what do you think, random internet stranger I monologues at for five paragraphs?
It's a shame the nu-Trek is utter mass appeal apolitical dogshit that has nothing to say about anything except that Alex Kurtzman should not be let anywhere near a production of anything other than a Big Mac.
EDIT: By the way, if anybody is looking for something with the same sort of tight drama, clever storytelling and progressive politics (but not virtue signaling for its own sake) and confronting complicated issues and good people doing what's right overcoming them, but would also like it to be a bit more human, down to earth and character centric then trek veteran writer of TNG and DS9 - Ronald D. Moore and I - his biggest fan girl this side of the internet - would like to invite you to watch For All Mankind.
It is an alternate history show where the soviets "win" the race to the moon and the space race continues and every season is set in a new decade, or at least that is the tagline because underneath the goofy premise and out of context clips of the sea dragon or nuclear space planes or AK-47s wielded by cosmonauts on the moon, what you'll find is a tightly written complex drama about an ensemble cast of characters and their changing relationships to themselves, each other and the tumultous world around them.
The show covers everything from the consequences of operation paperclip, misoginy, red scare and cold war distrust to civil rights, feminism, yuppie culture, privatisation of space, startup culture, homophobia, labour unions, psychedelics, PTSD, opioids, threat of nuclear war, militarization and so, so much more.
I really can't say enough good things about it. Oh yeah - the licensed song choice is great. Petula Clark's The World Song, M83, Smashing Pumpkins, John Lennon screaming his lungs out in 'Well Well Well'? And that earworm song from actual IRL North Korea which is the first and only song I've ever heard of theirs? If only they didn't use 'Come as You Are' but oh well nothing's perfect.
The first season is a bit rough in places at the start as the show finds it's footing and the stupid generically modern intro animation and music really sucks but S2 is an actual masterpiece of TV.
Idk I just find dark mode depressing as fuck. I already stare at terminals enough.

If you're running externally, use a cloudflare tunnel.
No ports exposed = no attack surface. This is 99% of security.
HTTPS is provided by CF although only secures comms between your devices to CF, not CF to your Pi, meaning CF can see clear text technically.
If that's not good enough then use a VPN server like PiVPN and put it on your pi and OpenVPN on your devices. *This has nothing to do with paid VPN Client subscriptions like Tunnelbear or Proton or whatever. *
You will be running a VPN server on your pi to which you will connect from your devices on which you want to watch JF by downloading a device profile to your devices and opening it in the OpenVPN app.
You do not need to pay for anything at all anywhere ever (other than something for DDNS and a domain name), use a strong password and make sure your JF is updated if there's any CVE. Expose nothing else to the internet.
You don't even need HTTPS at that point or any certs, a VPN will encrypt your traffic anyway. The only cleartext you'll have is between your VPN and your JF, and if both are on the pi then the only MITM vector is literally inside your Pi which is unlikely to have any issues.
Exactly opposite for me. Dark mode is just eww
It's alright, shaped my music taste from early on, but not something I revisit now. Kinda like Aphex Twin was for gen x
One band logo tattoo. I got it when I was childishly upset at someone I soon after broke up with. One day I'll get it covered up. It's a good in for people to talk to me at least it seems haha

£30 for 500mbps down Fiber with Vodafone here in the Midlands in the UK.
No data caps, no throttling, got a discount SIM for £1 a month as well which is much nicer than £15/month I had with O2 before.
Got a contract by speaking to a real human over the phone and opted out of all data collection too. Vodafone uses a really nice router that even lets you export logs and has all sorts of neat features like public subnet, WPA3 (til that's a thing) and custom DNS, though I still use my own switch and OpenWRT router most of the time for my homelab (Jellyfin, Bind9 local DNS and TLD with no forwarder and navidrome).
I want to probably set it up as a dumb AP because apparently the WiFi 7 or whatever is better than my old Archer C7 but I just use it for work rn on its own VLAN.
Speed hasn't been too stable lately but not enough to make me actually complain yet. It's the cheapest internet I could get, I frankly don't see much point in speeds above 75mbps or so lol.
A few months ago I was paying like £50 for 50mbps with Virgin in South UK. I wasn't even in contract and those cunts charged me an exit fee. I mailed them their router and they charged me for it anyway. Somehow even bigger cunts than BT. No issues with Vodafone yet.
I mean, statistically, you are, so am I, I'm very right to assume that unless stated otherwise.
Furthermore, almost no women at least in my personal experience have ever reported having travel experiences like yours, so I was doubly right to assume that you are a man.
And yet further, you also do not deny it therefore I'm going to assume I was correct and dismiss your experiences as not applying to me.
I will assume more because I assume that I assumed correctly and you just don't like being called out, even though a reasonable person would probably just say that others' experiences may vary.
I was also just being polite in saying "euro" instead of just saying "white" btw.

PGP also has a more identifiable structure and they could ban PGP and then scan for it easily based on PGP headers. KryptKey is more censorship resistant because the outputs can't be scanned for as easily since data can be encrypted with normal words.
That answers my question as to why KryptKey wasn't just encrypting using PGP.
Still, I'd very much like an app similar to KryptKey that uses PGP encryption, or an app I can copy-paste plaintext into and get PGP ciphertext out of like Kleopatra, do you know of any?
Or maybe we are just different kinds of people and thus get treated differently. Maybe if I was a cishet euro dude I wouldn't worry about it either.
A question about kryptKey - why Signal protocol instead of just letting me import a PGP key and paste plain text in and use PGP for encryption and get ciphertext oit, like Kleopatra or GPG? I use that for DNMs and it's swell.
You can meet people online, I would be very wary as a tourist, most folks will only talk back if they get value from it, like assault, robbery or your blood🦇
