  • Credit cards create permanent identity links that no encryption protocol can erase.

    Here’s the brutal truth about “anonymous” email services: your payment method matters more than your password strength. Proton accepts cryptocurrency and cash precisely because credit cards eliminate anonymity from day one.

    Every monthly subscription charge links your encrypted account to your real identity through financial records that governments access routinely. The Stop Cop City activist could have sent messages in unbreakable code, but their credit card told the whole story.

    Yeah, I kind of expected it would be an opsec error. Still a big L for Proton. I have been hesitant to move due to them not being on Fdroid or having Linux support. One of the last major things for me to de-google. Tuta seems nice tho.







  • By contrast, Hegseth has been stressing lethality and a warrior ethos instead of learning and reflection, to the point of blocking U.S. military personnel from taking courses at the most elite American universities.

    Its a bit to early for these negatives. That said it is an open secret that not many people are interested in joining the army and that they having been losing institutional knowledge. Part of the reason they also had stop loss back in the early 2010s.

    I honestly think there is a real chance Iran pulls out a win here. They are off to a bad start, but the US has no real plan to shape the victory.

    With the lack of rally around the flag effect at home and the trashing of the economy support could collapse rather quickly (and yet not fast enough). I don’t think the Iran government is popular due to being a theocracy, but they might actually get a rally around the flag effect.
