I jumped to Bitwarden because of 1P's new pricing doing exactly that.

Circle of live, I guess.

I was unaware of that, disappointing.

It's always funny to see a statement that is clearly meant to convince the author, not any external party.

Birds aren't real 2.0

I love it.

Look, make a decision and stand by it. The constant back and forth just exposes you as not having any principles at all.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Thank you for what you do.

I can’t be the only person who’s getting tired of hearing about how every new iteration is going to spell doom/be a paradigm shift/change the entire tech industry etc.

There's a little bit of a grading your own homework aspect to companies being able to declare their new models revolutionary.

It doesn't mean they're wrong, but there is a clear conflict of interest.

I have a feeling he might be angling for a pardon if he ends up bringing the whole global economy down.

I get it —

well done

I'm curious what protection by the state do you think Americans receive?

You make the argument from the consumer side, it's hard to argue, but digital systems are far more profitable. So that's how we got the world we got.

Technologists make the same mistake over and over in thinking the better technology will win. vhs vs betamax, etc.

Actual consumers not only don't care, they will not even be aware of the difference.

Honest question, why would they care?

There has to be a marketplace for domains or other goods that require escrow or a trusted third party.

I wish Elon would give me a way to sell it before they steal it.

Just put it online. Maybe use an escrow service. What's stopping you?

PC laptops have been dead outside of jobs that give them to you for years.

I don't want to beat the dead horse too much, but have you ever turned that inspection mechanism upon yourself? What did it see?

Desperately trying to change the subject is not an argumentation tactic. It's at best, stalling. At worst, trolling.

Snowden sacrificed a comfortable life

Yes and all he had to gain was international celebrity.

Please understand the role that ego plays in actions such as this.

In a sense, I am worse. I a guy in the middle

And here we are. The siren song of the left.

There's something particular sad about people that won't even admit to what they are in public. You know your right wing brand is toxic but you don't want to just be another cult member, so you pretend to be something else so your words will have more (or some) weight.

It's not working.

Have fun being the reason why the rest of your family hates Thanksgiving for the 10th year in a row.

A failed and poorly executed insurrection attempt is still an insurrection attempt.

People go to prison for attempted murder every day.

Huh? ICE is targeting illegal aliens.

Overstaying your visa is a civil offense. Kidnapping and assaulting people who haven't even committed a misdemeanor is illegal and unconstitutional.

Protesters try to interfere ICE targeting illegal aliens

Well in that case you could declare all protests as "interfering with police operations" thereby making illegal all protests and ohhhhh ok I get it.

You're not a "both sides" guy. You actively support this admin attacking the constitution and you're trying to make it look better by creating false equivalences instead of just owning what you support.

I'd have at least a little respect for you if you just owned it.

We're done here.

See... this is kinda how I know you have a political axe to grind.

Allow me a quick rewrite of your breathless response in a more reasonable language.

The fact that you won't just reply point by point and want to spin up a self-important narrative tells me everything I need to know about this interaction.

Was he targeted? Was he targeted willfully? Was he target ted willfully, while administration knew he was an American citizen? When did they know it? Did they stop their plans once they did?

I was pointing out how Trump is targeting and killing US citizens in America for peacefully protesting and your "both both sides do it!" attempt was a U.S. citizen literally fighting against the U.S. in a warzone.

If so, ICE shooting a mother of two ( who was clearly not watching those two kids m ind you ) is just an expansion of powers Obama gave himself. Thanks Obama!

ICE had a specific mandate under Obama (and every other President) to go after only criminals. Trump perverted this mandate to form a militarized police force to attack democratic cities, killing protesters with no accountability.

We get it. You are above all this. You are too smart to think that either party is better than the other.

We get it. You can stop now.

Targetted killing of US citizen without a trial via drone strike ( Anwar al-Awlaki )

This was in a literal war zone against a man who literally declared war on the United States.

Signed 2012 NDAA with 'indefinite detention' provisions

Didn't answer my question. This law targeted terrorists, not mothers of two, driving home from dropping their kids off at school.

Extended Patriot ACT in 2011 - Re-authorized FISA in 2012

Didn't answer my question.

Defended post-Snowden NSA metadata collection

Didn't answer my question.

Seized reporter's property in leak investigation

This appears to be an actual leak investigation done by the DOJ. I don't recall these journalists being arrested, denied a lawyer, etc. I can't find any evidence that this was a legitimate leak investigation done in accordance with the law.

'fast and furious'

Reminder, we are talking about domestic surveillance and illegal detainment for political purposes.

Donald Trump has over 6,000 habeas corpus violations working their way through the court system in America right now. Obama had < 10 in 8 years. He is detaining U.S. citizens without cause, without explanation, and subjecting them to torturous conditions.

Your attempt to say both sides are the same is clearly an attempt to sound intelligent like you're above the discourse. You're not.

One more try, what did Obama in terms of abusing his police state targeting American citizens that even approached what we are seeing with ICE, the FBI, etc. right now.

If Snowden hasn't moved quickly, he wouldn't have been able to leak any of it.

How does stealings sensitive materials not related to domestic surveillance improve his odds of successfully leaking information and fleeing the country?

And please be specific.

How does that change or affect the point I'm making?

This was of course not known at the time. The only thing that was known is that a single individual was responsible for the greatest breach of classified secrets in the nation's history, and that individual was still at large.

On Friday, May 10, a top official with the Internal Revenue Service dropped a bombshell. IRS staffers had singled out conservative organizations with “tea party” or “patriots” in their name that were seeking tax-exempt nonprofit status, subjecting them to extra scrutiny to see if they were abusing the tax law as it relates to political activity.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/11/irs-tea-party-s...

You're not allowed to seek tax exempt status if you are a partisan organization. Searching for political terminology to determine that is perfectly logical.

The federal government was found violating the constitution

This was of course not known at the time.

It's the standard we're discussing. It's what Donald Trump's DHS is doing right now and the Snowden comparisons are irrelevant and imo a bad faith attempt at trying to muddy the waters.

Stop both sides-ing everything the Trump administration does to give them more oxygen to operate.

These are uniquely awful times.
