I don't necessarily believe it's in good faith. Just pointing out that it could be a simple misunderstanding and added back.

They can quietly drop or add anything internally, or just be inconsistent. They don't even have to have a public policy. So the words don't mean much to begin with. Once there are examples of no enforcement is when it becomes a serious issue.

A YouTube spokesperson said that the removal of "gender identity and expression" from the hate speech policy was part of regular copy edits to the website, and that the enforcement of the policy hasn't changed. Hate speech toward someone over their "sex, gender, or sexual orientation" is still barred, however critics say that "gender" is very different than "gender identity and expression."

If this is a good faith statement it's a non-issue IMO

I'm not as sure. EFF does a fair amount of important reporting to hold big tech companies accountable. The same goes for Check My Ads. Obviously there's places like The Verge, WIRED, and TechCrunch. Right now politics and tech are pretty intertwined. Having folks with a more technical background cover stories could be pretty beneficial for asking better, deeper questions

I think if you're willing to put in the work to learn programming it could give you a pretty big leg up understanding the people and culture surrounding tech. It's also a decent backup career option

I think the situation will improve as people migrate there and more normal videos get uploaded

I've seen that argument for Odysee as far back as 5 years ago. I don't think it's going to occur. Same goes for Truth Social

Is it F2P or members? Seems like the latter

Yes, I use it and generally like it. Their app is a little buggy, but they have email support and accept bug reports on GitHub. This is helpful for finding out what other users are seeing. It's a small dev team with frequent releases

I'm not sure what you mean. The "overhead" is putting your different logins into a password manager, no?

That's correct. You get better export tools with Google compared to Proton. Because of this alone I'd recommend not storing your important data with Proton

Ukraine losing would be terrible for Trump. It makes him look weak and bad at foreign policy. Everyone knows that Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, and they'll do it again

Email export is available in their desktop client

They're supporting commercialized, walled-garden social media platforms instead of ones that are publicly accessible

For electronics try Swappa or Jawa

 

A few months ago I installed Proton Drive on my new PC. It started having issues so I sent it back in for repair. I uninstalled Proton Drive then deleted my files for privacy.

Last week I installed Proton Drive again. To my surprise, it scrambled all of my files locally and remote. All my root folders were deleted and my root is now filled with "Delete conflict" files and folders.

I reported this to Proton immediately. After giving them my logs and details support told me...

  • This is expected: "Proton Drive is designed to synchronize ALL changes, even after long periods of not syncing"
  • No rollback is possible: "Please note that we are unable to revert this behavior. You will have to restore the files manually"
  • They plan to address this: "Regardless, we will absolutely be making improvements to avoid such problems in the future."

For me I have about 100 files to address, which is manageable, but for others I'm sure this would be a showstopper. The delete conflicts don't have version history either, so I have to figure out how to weave everything back together.

 

Another game that will be lost to time :/
