Yes I read the blog post and the linked "research". There is no indication that it has been replicated or even academically reviewed.

The linked PDF is even missing sections 8 & 9 listed in its TOC.

according to the research

You say that like it's settled fact. Was the "research" peer-reviewed and published in a reputable journal? Has it been replicated?

You gotta love how getting suggested content they don't like from the recommendation engine means they're a victim.

All the posts advocating for combining baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.

Irrelevant - the title and graphic says "developers".

Really? Has Valve abused their position to specifically further entrench their monopoly or other anti-consumer behavior?

There was a time I would have agreed with that comparison but Google has sucked for a while.

Email has been a decentralized federated system from the start, though I'm not aware of any community I'd trust to be a more privacy-respecting host than the available commercial offerings.

Our legal entity is in Sweden, where the law does not allow for any government to force us to spy on our users.

You'll agree that Proton doing better would require them to move to a different country, right?

Also Mullvad doesn't offer email accounts, does it? Seems that they couldn't have a 'no user data' policy if they did since the emails would be exactly that.

You don't have only those two choices. Be brave and support non-fire even if a majority isn't yet. Be part of the solution and don't believe the lies that better options aren't real.

the LNT model isn't actually used there at all.

But it is in use at plants in the US as it's built in right from planning before construction even begins, because LNT has thoroughly influenced legal and regulatory requirements.

It's less-lethal, not nonlethal. Even blanks can be deadly. A gun should only be pointed at something you're willing to destroy.

Cops are not held to as high of standards as everyone else. This should not come as a great revelation.

If you go through a defensive carry class you'd almost certainly be discouraged from doing that by the instructor for multiple reasons:

First is that all ammo can be lethal, even blanks. So if you're not willing to kill to protect your own life, that may cause it anyway. On the flip side, a prosecutor will argue that if lethal ammunition wasn't required, then use of a gun wasn't necessary and you've not only broken firearm discharge laws (in place where most people live), but are also guilty of assault with a weapon with intent to kill or maim.

Firing a gun in self-defense is only warranted if nonlethal means are insufficient. If you try using less-lethal ammo and it doesn't stop your attacker, you're killed or seriously injured. If you try using less-lethal ammo and it does stop your attacker, you're still screwed by the legal system (possibly except under some "stand your ground" laws).
