Ahh yes, beer and butter, classic pairing

i once visited a cocktail bar named “buttershaker” in germany, obviously butter is an important ingredient for numerous cocktails too ;-)

Beer. Butter. Battlestar Galactica.

Beerstar Galactica, who hasn’t heared of that epos !!!

thats how CEOs define their rules when their then-by-them-damaged company has to pay them a huge bonus for causing permanent damages to the company 🤷

Democracy is mathematically impossible.

if democracy was not possible, how does it come that the greek did democracy and it is said they were once overrun in a war because of beeing democratic? if something was a cause for a turn of a war, i pretty much believe it to really exist, no matter what some kind of half baked formulars “predicted” once.

if democracy existed and your math says thats not possible, i’ld guess your math might simply be ‘slightly’ wrong about it or was created with (un-)intentional biases in mind ;-)

just to note:

in the history of human predictions based on thought through and wordly/mathmatically described rules, the most common thing afterwards was, that those rules and also their predictions were just fundamentally wrong and biased.

a system where you get served only two options to vote for but are held responsible for the outcome instead of those who limited the available options in the first place?

eh yes, you are right, this is stupid.

as a completely unrelated sidenote:

“winner takes it all” is the actual opposite of democracy, no matter how the voting was done, and this fact can already be read 1:1 within those 4 simple words 😉

This is indeed Indeed.

Is this humor humor?

this indeed is humor.

that new pack is owned by the cat, it was free anyway 🤷

just learn how dogs (wolfs) are organised and learn the meaning of who eats exactly when. mystery (s|w)olved ;-)

Shadow alignment

they get even more revenue from other peoples contributions.

thats the whole point not more, not less.

so there is no point for “you” to pay them anything.

did you as a “premium customer” thought to be “the customer”? really? remember how little you personally pay for the service. it is mainly the ad companies who are youtubes “customers”. when you pay them for something, you only increase yt’s revenue, not more, not less, but you are not “the customer”, you are the product ;-)

for some reasons idk i’ld like to see a “first gentlemen” to enter the scene

clean up your writing.

sorry if i missspell words of have bad grammatics, english is not my native language and just “reading” what exists in the internet does not help either… would you please help me what you meant by “clean up” exactly so i can improve?

but maybe only for emails from outside, not for emails from within protonmail? haven’t read any specs of protonmail yet…

well for e2ee you obviously have to let one e encrypt the data for the other e. (good luck with newsletters then) for usual services kindly asking them to support either s/mime or gpg for outgoing emails, that would at least make them know the wish, but good luck there too.

i think the already mentioned solution with encrypting incoming messages on your side just before mda to your inbox should be the closest possible to what op wants. one would need to check if the message is already encrypted and skip encryption for those.

if you only want the admin of that email (imap) server to not be able to read all emails, maybe placing a separate encrypting server (smtp+encrypt+forward) inbetween outside world and your email imap server could be a solution.

one should have a look into the logfiles too as some mailers might log message subjects and of course sender/recipients along with ip adresses of incoming/outgoing servers which the op might not want to be readable as well (i dont know protonmail that much)

also gpg IMHO allows for sign-then-encrypt hiding the signature within the encrypted data which could be wanted. also one might want to look exactly what parts of the messages contents and its headers are encrypted or plaintext on the server before feeling safe from the threat one wants to be protected from.

but then the admin can still read the mail while it arrives ;-)

maybe they just want to remind the west to its weird feudalisms TTIP secret arbritation councils the public could’nt even notice any weirdocrappydictatorlike “decissions”.

at least done well for me, russia +1 in showing with just one public note how the west lies and abuses all the time. its not about russia, its about the wests foulness, any country could have pointed that out, but russia maybe just does not fear any attacks by those secret “arbritation councils”.

nobody changed anything, so why should have anything changed? development does not appear by pure wish or magic, nor by letting time passing by, people have to do it, or it just doesn’t get done.

maybe its that cheap school (or public building) toiletpaper from ages ago that still contained … woodchips?

the OS was not the comparison, but the hardware it runs on (just as @Freefall said) but also you seem to be wrong with your other assumption:

And both those devices are tied to a specific OS.

Which seems not to be the case as install instructions for another OS can be found here (i didn’t try it though) for the mentioned device:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pdx215/

lineage os still is an “android”, but another vendor with clearly different approach than the original firmware and what hinders you from writing bsd drivers and compiling a bsd kernel for it instead? So i count the Xperia 1 III as NOT bound to any OS or OS vendor.

But despite the way longer possible support/security, freedom of choice and endless other possibilities that often come along with free OS choice, this pure and great advantages weren’t even mentioned there, thus it wasnt an OS comparison as it also wasn’t a bound-to-an-OS vs. absentness of vendor-lock-in-limitation-jungle comparison.
