Really exciting to see all the new fixes and developments! The release of Cosmic is one of the most exciting things in store for me this year!

The massive size of vehicles in the U.S. is ridiculous. I think a lot of people would buy smaller, cheaper cars if they were on the market.

It all depends on your risk tolerance and perceived threat model.

I would recommend that if you do use Proton Pass in conjunction with your email, keep a backup KeePass file stored locally and in a few other places and update routinely.

The Proton ecosystem definitely doesn't fit everyone's security model, but it is a massive leap compared to what Google and Apple offer.

System76 has some good options. A little overpriced, but your money goes towards an open-source friendly company.

One of my favorite things about this project has been the transparency of development, and how it seems that they truly care what the community wants. And mmstick's interaction with the community has been nothing short of first-class.

The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.

If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I'd switch over in a heartbeat.

In the entirety of my time using the internet, I have heard of the lack of freedom that Chinese citizens face regarding internet access. This has always been held up as indisputable evidence that the CCP is an authoritarian regime, and proof that if the CCP is willing to trample on some freedoms, it's willing to trample on others.

Just as the U.S. Congress has (somewhat valid) concerns about a foreign entity holding so much sway over such a large platform, it could be stated that these objections are no different from what China claims. If it's wrong for China to censor and ban platforms, its wrong for the U.S. to do so as well.

Is it concerning how much data is collected by Tik Tok? Yes. But without parroting what's already been said, this bill comes nowhere close to addressing the key issues of data privacy that it claims to. Banning Tik Tok without addressing the egregious data collection of other platforms is nothing short of hypocracy.
