I said it didn’t have a long tail. I didn’t say it didn’t sell a lot of copies. Huge and critical difference, hence why I said what I said. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here if you understood what I wrote.

Inquisition was almost a decade ago and didn’t have a long tail. The IP isn’t as strong as it used to be tbh

You’re still reaching. A privacy company praising a spyware company is not the same as one member of a board on his own praising Trump for something not even related to privacy. Stop forcing this. You’re reaching.

He’s not taking about spyware or anything like it. You’re forcing this.

I looked into them about a year ago and for some reason I decided not to move forward. I don’t remember why so perhaps I’ll take a second look

Your comparison would be appropriate if this was a statement coming out in favor of spyware. Additionally if we looked more closely at who you support, I bet we would find some pretty egregious contradictions with your values/the business’s purported values.

All of us would fail at some point if we were scrutinized. That’s why an all or nothing purity test is not productive. We do the best we can where possible and accept that none of us truly have the 100% perfect moral high ground. So it follows that to hold others to that standard is ridiculous.

Who makes your phone?

Who makes your computer?

Who is your ISP?

Who do you bank with?

What email client do you use?

Let’s take a closer look.

I get what you’re driving at truly but man we do what we can and accept we can’t be perfect. I avoid Amazon as much as I can. I’ve left google, I don’t shop at Walmart. I don’t eat chik fil a. I try to avoid known evil brands where I can knowing I can’t be perfect.

Proton gives me a lot of what I need and is exponentially better/more ethical than major competitors like Google. I am good with computers but not good enough to roll my own entire email/calendar/cloud storage system. We sometimes have to accept compromise or i guess just simply not participate in modern society.

People would rather gamble on a car having minor issues rather than have to spring maybe a few hundred for than spend thousands more upfront.

Edit: syntax/spelling

You don’t need a NAS or RAID to have a decent media streaming setup. I have a 42TB RAID5 and I use a 5TB Sandisk SSD as my daily driver on a 8 year old Lenovo running elementary OS. Can support probably 4 streams simultaneously before it’s chugging.

• Look into plex (people will whine about this but I say do it given your current comfort level - Jellyfin is likely not a good option for you yet)

• Get some external drives (research “3-2-1 backup” if you want industry standard practices to protect against data loss)

• Get a battery backup surge protector. These kick on when power goes out and protects your hardware better.

Good luck!

One of the best!

I always read this start to finish when it comes up lol

I was just making a War Games reference

Where is this magical land you live that has such an enlightened and engaged electorate?

You can’t have civil discourse when the president of the US and his fanatics wants to erase LGBT people and glass regions of the world he is bigoted towards.

We did civil discourse 2008-2016. We made great strides. Then look what happened. Women have fewer rights than they did half a century ago ffs.

Wake the fuck up dude get with the program.

A strange game. The only moral move is not to choose.

The far left is generally more correct about social issues than the far right. It’s not always 2 sides of the same coin. Sometimes someone is right and someone is wrong and it’s not always 50-50.
