  • Woke has got to be one of the most meaningless words out there. So many things are labeled as being “woke”. From left-wing to right-wing, from progressive to conservative, it’s genuinely insane.

    Can you please define what you mean by “woke”? (Funnily enough, most people that regularly use the word “woke” can’t even properly explain what it means)





  • Definitely. I got a T470s that had barely been used for business purposes on eBay for 100€. It’s a great machine. Lots of I/O, great IPS touchscreen, great backlit keyboard, great trackpad, great build quality, awesome form factor, good battery life (about 6-8 hours). If you need a cheap laptop, get a used ThinkPad. They’re the best bang for the buck imo







  • Not only is this article three years old, it is also lacking in terms of sources. Additionally, the language and phrasing is quite inappropriate for the purpose of spreading the information. Lots of text is just mean and offensive without any actual purpose.

    It also seems to be largely based on speculation rather than actual solid evidence.

    I’m not against investigating the legitimacy of established and trusted privacy-first providers. However, this seems a bit lackluster.

    Also: Email is inherently insecure, we all know that. Proton services are open source, independently audited and verifiably E2EE, except for Mail, which uses PGP for the emails themselves and E2EE to store them.
