Not necessarily. I also think that both sides extremes are absolutely awful.

The difference is that us “real” “both-siders” realize and agree that the fascist side is much more imminent and dangerous and therefore tend to ally with the left.

I think we slightly misunderstood each other. I also enjoy multiculturalism and think that it can be very beautiful. I love walking through the city and seeing the buddhist statues in some storewindows.

It’s hard to draw a line where assimilation and multiculturalism should interchange (imo), but what I meant was brutal individualism of the US or their tendency to think in teams (like the election where a large part elected a fascist not because they wanted fascism but because they were team red / wanted to be on the winning team) that has to be lost when coming here (here in loose terms, I am your southern neighbour 🇨🇭🤝🏻🇪🇺).

I think my friend would be a good example. He’s from Sri Lanka and is a buddhist whose hobby is traditional indian dances. But he speaks perfect swiss-german, is involved and up-to-date on swiss politics and talks from a swiss point of view in national and international politics (putting switzerland over sri lanka in international interests). He is proud to be sri lankan while still being proud to be swiss, if that makes sense? He’s not trying to be un-swiss and be overly sri-lankan. He’s not a sri-lankan in switzerland but a swiss with sri-lankan roots. I hope I am able to explain it? It’s kind of difficult with such delicate topics where you can’t draw a clear line, but I hope you get my point :))

I highly recommend this. If you’re at danger, please come. We don’t want any of you to suffer any harm, we will welcome you with open arms.

If you’re looking to get an easy start: germany has a lot of open jobs in professions such as plumbing, so you have a good chance to land a Job.

Just be sure to assimilate. We do have a different culture here, and we don’t want you to bring yours.

Where did you flee to?

Trump appointed a anti-big-tech guy and the CEO of Proton praised trump (paraphrasing here “earlier the dems were the party of the small man, now the republicans are”). This was not an endorsement of Trump and only applied in the narrow context of the anti-big-tech appointment. But a lot of people didn’t understand that context or ripped it out of that context and made it look like proton as a whole supports Trump.

I mean, I am sorry, but doxxing her SSN is a pretty disproportionate response lmao

Just from the top of my mind I find Hank Green to be a pretty good role model

There definitely was.

Cyberbullying german girls because the german word “digga” sounds similar to “nigger” and unironically advocating that germans shouldn’t use words that sound similar to slurs in english because “they should be responsible and avoid hurting others”.

Or tankies simping for the mass murder of “anti-revolutionaries” in the USSR or the PRC

No. We mean people like andrew tate. These guys aren’t men, They’re assholes. They don’t teach you how to be “men”, they teach you how to be assholes.

No real man thinks he’s “high-value” and definitely doesn’t think women are worth less or deserve to be treated like shit.

That’s not real men, that’s assholes.

And yes, I’m gatekeeping the term “Man”.

Fertilizer

GrapheneOS is security-first and they’re very clear about this. Them adhering to their principles even if it means a bit more inconvenience isn’t “sniffing their own farts”.

If it isn’t for you, that’s fine. It was designed for joirnlists, whistleblowers and other people who could be targeted. And the team refusing to add stuff to protect them is absolutely legit.

I would like to appeal to you to be nicer to teams of foss-software. They could probably make a lot more money if they worked for a corporation. They could charge money for licences for grapheneos. But they don’t. They work on it and make it available for everyone simply from the goodness of their hearts.

It is their project, not ours. we aren’t entitled to anything. If we make demands and/or throw fits, we will simply demoralize them and cause them to quit developement, leaving us all as losers, without such a great project.

So instead of being negative and critizising them, I’d be happy if we could say thank you to @grapheneos@grapheneos.social . because their heartblood makes grapheneos what it is today and my phone a lot better.

Yes and no. I absolutely understand what you mean. And I was the same.

But then my tech-autism caused me to dig into cybersecurity and now I actually disagree with you.

I.E. have I completely stopped doing any type of banking on a device that isn’t running a completely locked down iOS or Android.

Perchance I can

yeah, but the US is one of the only country in the world that writes it as kph. most countries write it as km/h. Which can be confusing.

kph is just a stupid way of saying km/h

Alright let’s stop it here.

Btw there weren’t any gas showers, they were put into huge slaughterhouses that were then filled with Zyklon B.

Idk where the myth of the shower comes from.

Can you please for once npt stan for a genocidal regime just because their föag is red?

If you’re starting to paint it red, you might want to send it to your doctor.

And what should I eat to become angry like Hulk?

oh, cool. Mom, why are the street signs here blue but green in the other town

In Europe, green signs declare an Autobahn/Highway. (Or that the Autobahn leads to this destination, if there is a place on the signs)

I find the Idea of a town where everything is just an Autovahn very amusing.
