Totally. I know plenty of people who would be considered smart by any standard, but when you're mainlining propaganda every hour, of every day, for multiple decades... it'll twist a person.

Agreed. Now's the time to appreciate any small wins that we get.

I haven't had it take that long, but I have noticed that loading time varies between mobile and desktop. Not surprisingly, the more powerful device loads the document faster

Edit: You're right- it takes like 10 seconds on my phone. I decided to time it

I actually haven't found it that slow, but I've also kept my expectations low. I'm willing to allow some slowness in the initial document load time if it means I get some privacy.

Is that this tool?

I haven't heard of it before- is it kind of similar to cryotomator?

I haven't heard of that competition, but it looks really cool.

Outside of the competition, does your team self host cryptpad?

I ended up paying for a subscription- I wanted to support the development + it being E2E alleviates most of my concerns about storing info in the cloud.

Also, I'm honest with myself to know that cryptpad.fr probably has a better backup setup than my Proxmox mini PC + Synology combo 😅

you're welcome!

Also, https://www.lawfaremedia.org/ is very good.

Agreed. It might feel futile, but lawsuits and public outcry do matter.

I think this is accurate. If he had no fear, he wouldn't say anything at all.

Perfectly said.

I don't remember Mitch McConnell rolling over and just saying "Aw shucks, we're the minority party, guess we can't do anything 🤷‍♂️"

Anything is better than nothing, even if all it does is generate a small morale boost. Draw attention, gum up the works, do whatever small thing is in your power. This bill will go nowhere, but there's immense value in the trying.

I find Lemmy to be a better reddit alternative than Mastodon is a twitter alternative.

The lack of an infinitely scrollable algorithmic feed in Mastodon is definitely better societally, but let's be real, the algorithmic feed is just way more fun to scroll in blue sky.
