Nice! I am thinking either mailbox.org or posteo. They have IMAP. They support pgp indeed it seems. One of those might be a winner!

So then it comes down to whether enough military personnel will have the morals to stand up to fascist orders from the executive branch and disobey them, displaying that they are at odds, or if they will simply obey unlawful, fascist orders to not get prosecuted under the UCMJ.

Also, I would be extremely hesitant to believe that the host of pilots, mechanics, MPs, and logistics did not notice at all women and children being dragged in chains, likely crying, and if on-video behavior is anything to go by, also likely being harassed by ICE handlers and thought there was nothing wrong enough to bring it up to their COs. Cargo is quickly inspected at the very least. And the fact that they didn't have any prior clearance to land at the airport they were going to... They aren't complete idiots...

Sorry, but these things do not happen quietly. That is like saying the train drivers and the people loading them into the cars carrying the Jews only knew they were carrying "personnel, material" and happened to be going to "a labor camp".

Sorry, but it doesn't matter one. single. bit. that the US military "isn't a monolithic entity" if, when it comes down to it, they act like a monolithic entity and follow corrupt, unlawful, and treasonous orders like how the USAF has been wordlessly transporting kidnapped legal residents and greencard holders to foreign countries without any semblance of legal process or even a criminal act done.

US military personnel love saying "we don't follow unlawful orders" who have never had to make that decision until they are given an illegal order and they follow it. Just see every war that the US (and most other nations to be honest) had ever fought and what is currently going on.

It is the exact same as the argument of ACAB. If there are 50 "good" people who actively shield, enable, and do nothing about 50 "bad" people doing horrible, illegal, and/or immoral things, you have 100 bad people.

Sadly, no calendar on startmail which is a non-starter for getting my family on it.

Seems to be nothing really with mail + calendar + encryption + IMAP from a smaller company.

Using Thunderbird as opposed to tuta's quite barebones client:

  • delayed messaging
  • message scheduling
  • local backup of mails
  • no email import
  • desktop app failures (happens quite often to me that I just can't log in)

Not to mention other external QoL functionalities like a home assistant tablet being able to display a family calendar and being able to automate based off of events

When is the last time that a non-poor has ever gotten tried and convicted for perjury?

It is the silent threat to keep poor people honest in court while allowing rich people and lawyers to lie their hearts out and use it for publicity because "they wouldn't lie under oath"

Our fucking corporate HP printer requires every single employee to make a separate fucking HP account in order to scan anything on the stupid piece of shit.

Not to mention in CONSTANTLY freezes and crashes.

We are replacing it. Fuck HP.

But watch out for the smaller items. They have decent prices on big items, but all of the small stuff is pretty hit or miss as far as pricing goes. Sometimes it is cheaper to go to the seller's own website and order (since bol does a ton of storefront sales like amazon marketplace or whatever it is).

Also Coolblue, Alternate, Megekko, and azerty for tech items

For home automation stuff, ROBBshop.nl and slimmedingen.nl instead of bol or coolblue.

They are a massive megacorp though. It always leaves me to wonder "how much".

Tons of capitalist companies do stock options where "technically" the employees own a share of the company, though that percentage is usually extremely small, even collectively such that they have no decision power. I can't help but think that it is similar with huawei, but with better marketing.

That is very fair!!

But on the other hand, 99.9% of users don't read all of the change notes for their packages and don't have notifications for CVEs. In that case, in my opinion just doing updates as they come would be easier and safer.

I assume pet-specific attachments that don't come on the normal

Sadly, there aren't voice channels like in discord, and you can't see if there are people in the room, just video rooms in Element.

No screen sharing/streaming

It is more a Teams/slack alternative that is lacking features right now, not discord.

It is also 5€ per month, per user!

If you go matrix without element, then you can self-host it, but only text chats. You can self-host Jitsi for voice/video, but I have yet to actually join a public server that has a voice chat, so I haven't tested it.
