I know him as "that MAGA loser who's a fiercly proud incel and got caught with tabs of gay porn open on a stream".

But to be honest I thought he had completely vanished into insignificance over the last 5 years. Sadly this appears incorrect.

Haha.. yes, the Pepe mask is for conservatives "to anonymize themselves", even though the forums and platforms they're already on are already anonymous?

Don't kid yourself - its just a virtue signal to the conservative racist ingroup that you're one of them. Its a 'safe space hat'.

You reply to some random repost of a Twitter comment that its all part of an evil leftist MSM plot to get rid of the Pepe avatars but you're standing proud in defiance? Nobody is trying to get rid of them - they're handy identifiers for trolls and chuds. But yeah, uh.. great speech. Preach. Keep your cute frog mask!

Don't forget to have the SSL certificate supplied and managed by Cloudflare, of course 🤫

But also - even if you add gang violence to the figures, all it would do is dilute the number of trans shooters further, if taken as a genuine premise, he devastates his own argument.

Of course it's not a genuine question though as he's not attempting to have an honest discussion, he's just trying to throw in a racist whataboutism to distract (and hopefully derail) the initial discussion. Standard right-wing chud 'debate' behaviour.

AFAIR none of those allow sending and receiving calendar invitations, that interfunction with outside services (eg Outlook.com, Gmail, Apple). Proton does. Send a calendar invitation from gmail/outlook/Apple to a Proton user; they can accept it and it will automatically add to their calendar and send back an acceptance email that gmail/etc understands. Vice-versa also true.

I trialled almost all of those before I ended with Proton, because it was the only one that felt like they actually tried to get calendar and email functionality on par with major (non-privacy focussed) service providers, and in general was the most polished.

They are all fine if literally all you need is simple email though.

I think that'd probably be called weeb / weeaboo talk.

Look out weebs, Fox News is about to make you public enemy number one for MAGAts.

I mean those are definitely anti-fascist, but I don't see a damn thing that could be interpreted as transgender.

I don't think they found a spine so much as they've seen the turning of the tide in the media re: Israel Palestine conflict, with several major media outlets running pieces agreeing that it's a genocide in the last month or so (BBC, Sky, Reuters, etc).

Aside - I also would like to understand what the turning point was with these media groups where they suddenly pivoted from "Israel are purely defending themselves" to "this is a campaign of genocide". Its like they hit some arbitrary number. 67,026 = self defence, 67,027 = oh gosh oh wow that's genocide.

It's reasonable to expect that the conservatives have expected a significant shooting of a right-wing figure was inevitable in the US, and had strategies discussed beforehand to capitalise on the occasion. No need for tinfoil hats.

Yes I think it's intimacy shows they were very close friends, confidants even, accomplices who both knew what they were doing was wrong and illegal but that they were getting away with it and felt untouchable.

How is this Hacker News?

I would not be surprised if WhatsApp, since it's been run by Meta, has been secretly gathering heaps of user data and tying those identifiers to their account data - regardless of if chats are truly still encrypted E2E or not. This complaint doesn't seem to discuss user chat data explicitly?

It seems more like complaints of legal requirements being ignored after repeatedly being raised through internal channels to management, for years - eg GDPR, California Data Privacy Laws, etc being singled out as being breached.

This part stuck out to me though, as it seems very implausible to be true.

"Approximately 100,000 WhatsApp users daily suffered account takeovers with access to Covered Information, yet WhatsApp failed to implement adequate preventive measures."

There are approx. 2 billion WhatsApp users. If 100,000 users daily are getting their accounts taken over, literally every account would be taken over in just five and a half years - and these complaints seem to date to 2022. I'm sure more noise would be getting made if that many users were suffering account takeovers daily? I've actually never heard of an account takeover and i know many dozens of Whatsapp users, though i stopped using it myself years ago after the Meta takeover. On its face this claim seems like a gross over-exaggeration?
