Proton? The bitcoin company?
No thanks. Fuck them.
She loves being lied to
For a moment I wasn’t sure which one of the two would be better. After careful consideration I decided both are noobs, because real pros only use emacs rigged to behave as the whole OS on an airgapped 15 year old thinkpad for anything that needs a computer, but most likely keep that in a vault too and only get it when absolutely necessary.
Google calendar? Psssssh

We all know privacy is purple, we just can’t agree on the exact shade.
Transcription
The ‘500 Days of Summer “Have You Ever Heard Of”’ meme template, showing two images of a man talking to a woman in a record store.
The first has the man saying “I love privacy” and the woman replying “Me too”.
The second shows 7 purple-coloured app logos above the man. Many in generic shapes, but one shows a lock keyway, and one shows a cat with a golden bell collar. Above the woman is the Google Chrome logo and a screenshot saying “You’ve gone Incognito”.
Left: People that can’t selfhost
Right: People that have never heard of it
This meme format is sexist. Why is it always always always the woman who has the negative side?
Incels.
What is the meme from? So I can search it on know your meme.

Not everything is sexist queen 💅
Ok. This meme is.
If it were the other way around, would it be sexist?
Is it required that any meme with a “good” and “bad” side have no demographic distinction between the sides?
Yes, it would still be sexist if it were the other way around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a meme with this format which didn’t have a “good” and “bad” side.
I’m genuinely curious what you’d think if they were both thin white straight-coded average-height women but with different hair color.
Well, it would be difficult for a format like that to bring out the biases of meme creators.
One of the reasons this meme format is problematic is that this is a screenshot from “500 Days of Summer” which was a film that was wildly misunderstood by misogynists. The entire point of the film is to show the perspective of the male character, which villainizes the female character when she breaks his heart when she dumps him. But by the end of the movie the viewer is supposed to realize that she did nothing wrong and just wasn’t as in to him as he was into her.
Incels and misogynists everywhere misunderstood the hell out of the themes and message. So it’s not a great movie to take a meme format from.
It’s not that this one example is like this, it’s that it seems to always be one way around and not the other, with this meme format
It’s fish in a barrel.
You don’t always hit, but the odds are stacked heavily in your favor

This meme format is inherently sexist. Anytime you have a meme format that has both a man and a woman on it, and one side is going to be the “bad” side, it’s always going to bring out the biases of whoever is creating it.

1 Semantics, but that doesn’t sound “inherently” sexist to me.
2 I’m pretty sure it just makes more comedic sense to put the unexpected interpretation on the right (or women’s side), so the “bad side” is different depending on the topic. I personally see this meme more often with the man being a surface level fan of something with the women being unexpectedly deep into the fandom. Like, among the earliest known edits (according to knowyourmeme) is the man just liking sports games with the women liking soulslikes.

In-app tool that doesn’t cache your client-side data
Is the woman the negative side on this?
I think that was the intent. Lemmy is extremely anti-Google.
I genuinely wonder what people think they’re using a VPN for. Do they think they’ve outwitted a trillion dollars in surveillance with an $8/mo subscription service?
I mean it def makes it harder to track.
Ummm yes I am betting people think that. Are they wrong? It makes sense that Google could do that if they really wanted to, but I doubt they do pretty much anything that doesn’t have a profit motive.
A VPN is part of a toolset. No tool alone is enough, and they only really work for some porpoises.
Some people think it is enough. Some people think chrome incognito is enough. Some people are wrong.
I’m any case, privacy is a spectrum. I can’t be untraceable by state agents, but I can avoid a lot of non targeted spying.

Absolutely. But then, as often as not, just using the browser feature that doesn’t cache client side data is enough.

What? I always thought the guy was the negative side! The woman is the reasonable normie, the guy is the weirdo tinfoil hat nerd!
What even are all those crappy icons?
You would have to be terminally online to be upset over something this trivial
I think it’s a fair point. Anyone could be either person so no one instance of this is directly offensive, but I agree memes like this seem to routinely put down women.
I don’t think op is pissing and shitting and crying over it, there’s just no place to talk about it other than the meme itself. Anyone could criticise your comment in the same way, and it’s just a strawman argument.
They are both the bad side in this case.
i think I’ve seen a lot of cases when it’s the other way round.
although if we do the statistics it’ll likely show a bias.
I want another person with neck beard disgusted by both of them using Tor, I2P, Qubes, and GrapheneOS
…t-that’s us
I just wish we could find each other irl. I’m the tin foil privacy nerd everywhere I go.
We’re all too private for that lol
Fucking hoisted by our own petards.
Imagine paying anything for proton services.
Amateurs, I bet neither of them even knows about Qubes OS
The joke is on you here. Proton is a locked-in CIA honeypot and everybody knows it.
Any evidence to this?

Coming from an Agent I’ll trust it
I trust you bro
Trust you too
If they would truly care about privacy they would promote open protocols, auditable code and encourage users to hold their own keys, instead of storing the keys of their users and shipping their code dynamically via JavaScript.
Their entire technology stack is built in a way to be able to target individual users.
That is not answering the question.
Why’s Summer using shite software. Tom was the one operating under a delusion in that film
Is it a bad take to say that I hated both of the characters in that film?
No, I think that was a valid reading of the film. Both characters are kinda shit. But the dude was worse.
Just like in the movie. Tom is indeed delusional, Summer is just cynical in her communications. They are both using shit software. Tom is putting all his fate on a single private company in pursuit of a misguided ideal and ignoring the red flags through rose tinted glasses. Summer doesn’t want to commit at all because she knows there’s much more complex factors at play than privacy alone but hasn’t yet found someone who makes her feel safe and secure the way she wants, so she settles temporarily for what feels fun in the moment.
😆 I’m sure the creator of the image had all this in mind 👌🎯
Proton has become a problem for privacy
Something I missed?

Okay, so about #1: Is there more to it than him setting of one single post praising Trump’s business skills? I mean, that’s pretty stupid, but stamping him as “Pro-MAGA” for that seems a bit far fetched still.
About #2: That’s also concerning and pretty bad as it reads, but any company basically has to abide the country’s laws, so if Interpol orders the Swiss police to fetch the data, no legally operating company can really do anything about it or they’re gone as well. A similar thing happened to Tutanota in Germany, iirc.
about #1: you see, your point is already defeated, because he called you a “defender saying actually”
ofc, you are right, and everyone saying that Proton ceo is pro maga from that one statement has reading comprehension problems

All companies have to follow legally binding orders. What matters is what they have available to share.

🤔 why is the privacy thing not the biggest threat? I would think that the privacy one would be more of a threat to privacy than the political stuff. Is that not the case?
deleted by creator
Sure, I can imagine the political issues could lead to privacy issues. My question was not about whether or not that’s true[1]. I was simply wondering why a possible privacy issue would rank higher than the actual issue that has already happened.
Something more specific/objective might be helpful though. Saying he’s “pro maga” is like saying he’s “bad vibes”; it requires the reader to just take your word for it without knowing exactly why. But, again, my question was more about the ranking ↩︎

Proton lol. You’re such a joker
