Just so you know: @wire, @wire, and @wire (me) aren't related to @wire.

(I don't know who you are, but just so you know there are different "wires" on the Fediverse. 😀)

And there's Lavabit's fundraising page at https://republic.co/lavabit

There's also this tweet and they've made some noise about this on Twitter (they seem to have deleted their tweets) showing that they _do_ care about their blog's ranking

ProtonMail are doing a great job at normalizing email crypto, *and* at keeping the market for themselves, eventually releasing a weird article a few days after a one-developer startup starts its fundraising campaign.

Check the dates, and consider that the blogs are only here for the ranking:

1) https://protonvpn.com/blog/best-vpn-country-comparison/

2) https://github.com/lavabit/magma/issues/126#issuecomment-451023884

And in "paranoid" mode, you'll manage your OpenPGP key by yourself, which would be extra secure and handy on a YubiKey.

Using the DIME, e.g. respectively the DMAP and DMTP protocols, Lavabit would know from and to which server your emails are coming and going, and the size of the email.

From Volcano's release, you'll have the possibility to operate in "cautious" mode, making it impossible for Lavabit to snoop over your private key without your secret passphrase.

Sooo… Unlike Lavabit, or an email provider using their AGPL-licensed crypto library and server implementation, ProtonMail has access to a journalist's list of correspondents, and to their conversations' titles.

Lavabit, or any DIME-compliant mail provider [1], knows nothing of this.

[1] Lavabit's GitHub: https://github.com/lavabit. The crypto is an open-source library; the server is fully open-source and under the AGPL license.

Real fun here. https://protonmail.com/blog/is-protonmail-trustworthy/

Fuck not EOT

I'm not a parent but by this definition, if you're telling your child they're throwing a tantrum, that's fine

However, to punish your child because they're throwing a tantrum only shows you're embarrassed to publicly not manage the situation and you're making your child pay for it, which is uncool

Educating your child has to be a dialogue, you need to pay attention to the details. If your child doesn't trust you, they'll be lying to you.

EOT, thank you

8) I know that adults can whim because I saw them doing so. According to Pierre Bourdieu, the young/old frontier is a social construct because old people want to keep young people into an age of irresponsibility and dependence.

As emotions are a cultural construct, I'm 80% considering that whims are just reified emotions.

EOT

7) It's hard to see when an idea is reified because you can't access to the culture you're lacking of (by definition). If you're told since your birth, because your parents don't want you to access to the yellow color, that the blue color is the green color, then you're pretty sure that the sea is green.

If you're asked to paint the sea, you'll make it blue but you'll tell everyone it's green.

It's a loosely metaphor about ideas.

4) Our emotions are our brain's incentives to make efforts, in order to access to resources.

5) Resources are what our brain has correlated with an improvement in our body's global state from what our nerves told it.

6) Hence emotions would be a bio-cultural construct from the sensory material data our brain has correlated with our internal body's nerve data.

I estimate this at 99% because I don't see how it could be wrong.

I believe the following:

1) Our culture is the way our organism adapts to its environment, e.g. how we think, e.g. how we correlate the material data our brain knows from our senses as it tries to predict our physical body's environment's behaviour, with an incertitude it tries to evaluate by summing the incertitude of it's material data.

2) Our culture is a network of data.

3) Reification is when we accept an idea "as is", with no knowledge of which material data it's made of.

Welp I have a messy Ko-fi profile now: https://ko-fi.com/networks

Sean is maybe the only PoC in the movies, save the greedy goblins and the enslaved elves. Harry Potter: not a white supremacist work at all.

There was the poorly developed romance between Nymphadora Tonk and Sirius Black, which was basically developed in a single line – her Patronus changed after he died, because she loved him and it shocked her.

But keep in mind that fanfictions are terrible, only Real Published Writers™ are worth your respect.

I read every Harry Potter book when I was younger (I started reading Harry Potter and the half-blood prince the day it was released) and there were Sean and Dean Thomas and every time I read about them I was like "who the fuck is that?"

And Rowling said they were gay because both of them had no personality and she didn't even develop their romantic relationships.

Btw, Sean is maybe the only PoC in the movies. But yeah Voldemort is a white supremacists metaphor.

Also, sending recordings of French cops enabling people to personally identify them (I'm not talking about their matriculate, which should enable their hierarchy to identify them) is hurting the Internet (especially because most of the Internet is on Facebook or Twitter).

And Facebook and Twitter are hurting worldwide democracies by optimising for engagement, which means impoverishing their users' culture ("post whatever you want, so long as you post it").

I feel guilty to have a cops picture as a wallpaper (a very nice picture tho).

In France, it's illegal to prevent you from recording the police, be it pictures, videos, or audio.

It's also illegal to send pictures of themon the Internet if they enable people to identify the cops.

And cops hide their faces so we can't identify them, and we can't guess if that's because they're criminals or because they fear to be beaten up by criminals.

Ok, I don't know how it was before but I don't see this as a problem. I'll be AFK then I'll get back to work, bye
