The 5g conspiracy craziness are but the latest example showing that a civilization's technological progress is hard-limited at any given time by the quality of education a median member of the society has received.

@kravietz Yes it always amazes me how no matter where you are in the world the groups which lean strongly towards one agenda or another (label themselves as left or right adamatly) tend to be completely clueless as to the reality of the situation.

Politics around the world is more about propaganda than facts, sadly.

but yea, I pay a much lower tax rate overall in europe than I would in America. Like I said I know a great many people who have fled america to livein Europe and paying less taxes and being at the top of the tax bracket is something I hear quite often.

But in other ways too, europe is far more conservative (aka, small government, less intervention and regulations) when it comes to foreign affairs too, as is seen by the fact that they have fewer military bases around the world and invest less money in trying to regulate or intervene in other countries as well.

lololol true, at least for american police.

@saroumane Protonmail lies about the capabilities of its encryption - it's entirely plausible that they would start recording your plaintext emails, perhaps in response to a sopeana, or a change in ownership, and you would never know. They then use these faux-privacy guarantees as justification for not supporting industry standard & open protocols, which is just a cover for promoting vendor lock-in.

We are actively working on exploring other methods of payment. However, the most promising options are either extremely difficult for a worldwide market (credit/debit card) or highly divisive (cryptocurrency). Look at some of the most recent toots on this account for more information.

Isn't it funny how within 24h the approach to #Keybase changed from "it's secure and awesomesauce, use it for everything!!1!" to "I just use it to share stuff but warn users not to do sensitive stuff there"?

No, actually it's not funny. Because it keeps happening:

1. a new shiny startup does X in an open source but centralized way
2. a lot of "experts" saying how great it is; some greybeards warn that it's centralized but nobody listens - it's so shiny and cool!
