That’s actuslly an interesting point, and I do appreciate you bringing it up.

My take is that they, the Palestinians in Gaza, should do whatever in their power to break down Hamas from inside, and show that they are strongly against these terrorists.

They should not revolt against Hamas as their leaders, since you showed they are not (even though I’m under the belief that they are, de facto), but they should revolt against Hamas residing inside of Gaza, and using the territory as a base for their terrorist operations.

There’s an action, and a reaction.

By not revolting against Hamas, they are actively supporting them.

You’re either with our against the terrorists. There’s no in-between.

People in gaza elected Hamas themselves. You are either with or against terrorism. There’s no in between.

They shot down innocent festival goers. Young people. Killed and raped, and driven around in the back of a truck for display. They even took elderly women hostages.

This is not acceptable, in any sort of way. Never.

I understand you. Also, I left you no downvotes in our entire discussion. Thanks for doing the same to me.

People are very trigger-happy when it comes to comments on here. You basically lose the second you post something controversial.

I think you need to look at the russian army as a unit in this, instead of the individuals like the general.

The leaders, commanders, and soldiers would be the “guy strapped on rails” in my example.

Again, I do not condone killing of anyone either. Could this be solved diplomatically it would obviously be best. But at the same time, history has shown what happens if we do not take a stance, and end the problem at the root. Last time it was just a crazy guy from the other side of the fence.

Also;

• Killing is bad
• Some people still kill despite of this

What would be your solution to stopping these people?

Remember that we’re not just talking some schizophrenic with a kitchen knife, but rather a select few with the combined powers of peak human accomplishments.

I guess it’s sorta like the drawing of a train, full of passengers, driving towards a pit. You can change the track, but on the other one lies a man strapped down.

Do you kill 1 person, to help save 10 others?

It’s a barbaric thought experiment, sure. I’m a pacifist as well, but I can see how a murder would be for the greater good.

This is the kind of shit I read when I’m sat here, at the loo, only to forget completely until a reference comes up 3 years later in a social gathering…

This is useless knowledge. But its quite interesting.

Thanks for posting.

Would love to see this for the entire world

By using the McDonald’s app, which will let you make orders.

If the ice cream machine is broken, the McFlurry will be unavailable.

This is fit, but not very natural.

“User rhymes with loser, and a loser always comes last.”

Sorry. I’m just too used to adduser.

No, you have misunderstood what the rule is about.

You’re not allowed to link to pirated content, such as a download link to the Barbie movie.

But you’re free to link to places that discuss the Barbie movie, places that discuss where to watch the Barbie movie, and places that teaches you how you can rip the Barbie movie yourself.

The only things you cannot link to, are direct links to pirated content

Finding the right email provider is what took me the longest, really. Went over all the options multiple times, constantly finding new alternatives and adding them to my list.

There’s nothing right, and there’s nothing wrong when it comes to this. You’re gonna have to try out a few, and see what feels right for you.

You should take into account what’s the most important for you;

• Lots of space?
• Lots of aliases?
• Custom domain support?
• Clean user interface?

You’re probably gonna have to come to the realization that you will need to pay for it. You know, the old saying “If you’re not paying, you are the product”…

If privacy is your number one concern, you should check out these three options:

• Protonmail
• Tutanota
• Skiff

Those are the ones that ended on my final list, and from those I chose Proton, mainly because I’ve used them for a long time already, and they have really good apps.

Tutanota is the more simple alternative, which is also the cheapest option. They recently changed their premium packages, but you can still buy the old ones using a small trick.

Skiff actually came after I already decided on Proton, and I’m not sure I’d have gone with Proton if I saw Skiff a bit earlier. Really looking like a great alternative, and they are offering enough in the free tier to be completely viable, even without a subscription.

To prevent spam, and protect your email, you need an aliasing service, and fortunately this is more simple, since there’s only 2 on the market;

• AnonAddy (addy.io)
• SimpleLogin

I went for AnonAddy, because of the price and it being independent. You can get SimpleLogin included with the expensive Proton subscription, but I’m not really prepared to spend 10 bucks a month for email.

My setup is to use a unique alias for every single website. These aliases are generated through addy.io, using my custom domain. That way I can easily toggle off an address, if spam starts coming in, but I can also change provider to for example SimpleLogin, if anything happens with addy.io.

That’s just my setup, which I understand can seem a bit complicated to some, but it gives me the freedom, security, and peace of mind that I’m looking for.

I totally understand you. It’s indeed quite an enormous task.

I’ve been on the internet for 20 years, and just like you I used to use the same username, email, and password for everything. Slight variations for some stuff, but generally the same.

A couple of years ago, I took the problem by the root, and went into my browser’s saved passwords, which I’ve migrates over a couple of times from Chrome and Firefox.

I was shocked to find over 1200 unique entries, scattered over so many sites. Many of them I did not even recognize.

I took it from the top and went down the list. Every site I would open, sign in to, and then change the password. If the site did not exist any longer, I would just remove it. If the site looked spammy, I would delete my account. If I couldn’t find a way to delete my account, I would change the email.

Took me around 3 days to get through the list. There were quite a few duplicates, but also many that just didn’t exist. Ended up with around 500 entries, which I then exported and out into my new password manager Bitwarden.

It feels good getting it done, but I also understand it’s a daunting task. To me it was fun to relieve some of the memories from my childhood.

I think you misunderstood the rule about not linking to pirated content.

Only if people from your instance subscribed to it.

Only one thing to do… Start over fresh.

I just did this a few months ago, and it feels really good to have a proper set-up now, with privacy respecting companies all around.
