What a shitty beach

The proton CEO praised Donald Trump's choice for who would lead the government's antitrust division, and now most of Lemmy think they're a Nazi company or something.

Just typical cancel culture bullshit. Where people choose to be outraged rather than attempting to understand a situation.

True. Though that terminology also annoys me, considering we live on a globe.

Ah, gotcha.
Just researched a bit and noticed it's an official term used by the UN.

It just sounds a little weird, as somebody from a southern nation that this doesn't seem to apply to.

China is also in the northern hemisphere, so it also seems strange that it's called 'global south'.

Something like 'low economic' would have made a lot more sense to me, but I guess 'global south' is the official term.

What has capitalism done to the global south?
Is that just a metaphor, or are you literally talking about Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America and Antarctica?

Sorry, I'm just a little confused about what you mean.

I don't think that's guaranteed to be true.

A very old email of mine which I haven't used in many years was in the breach.
None of my other email addresses were in there, so it's highly unlikely that I was affected by this malware in the last decade.
That email has been in many other breaches however, so I wouldn't be surprised if somebody who had access to an old dump was infected.
My money's on some random skid who downloaded an old database dump and got infected when they downloaded some bad warez.

Either that, or this includes credentials from people who had the malware 15+ years ago.

I'm a bit old school with things like this.
I'd much rather avoid downloading a 4k rip and watching it offline.
But I'll be sure to avoid these sites, too, if I'm ever in the mood to watch something when I'm away from my 'linux iso storage and acquisition' machine.
