Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City em

"Privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media."

Can we please not do this. The lesson from this is not "so long as your payment can't be traced to you you're fine." The lesson here is that Proton will give the FBI (via the swiss govt or not) whatever info they ask for.

[shipoffoos]

in order to exist they have to comply with local laws, the benefit of proton and signal and other similar platforms is that they straight up do not have the majority of the information they could be subpoenaed for. finances are the exception legally, you still need good opsec

[comradesepsis]

The lesson here is not "Proton pretended to be good guys but secretly they were bad guys :( "

The lesson is that you cannot just find a "privacy focused" email or message app and assume that means you can say whatever you want because no one will ever know it was you.

Email is inherently insecure communication. Proton is a decent company that mostly avoids collecting the kind of data the fed wants. But you are not invisible behind a proxy or a vpn, encryption is not a magic ward, and you need to have at least a basic understanding of opsec before you got doing shit the fed might come looking at you for.

This is why they'll never get me off this site. I liked this site even when it was practically unusable.

[batbetbitbotbut]

Polls are delightful but I feel like the "polls" response leading the crowd right now is recency bias. For those of you who are newer here, or those who have forgotten the bygone days, consider just how fucking unusable a site would be if you have to scroll for pages to finish reading a post and then scroll for pages up again to reblog it and then scroll for pages down again to continue browsing. Consider how often you would miss the mark and reblog completely the wrong post. Consider the hell of when the same post appears several times on your dash in a row, especially with a few different endings, especially if those endings argue with each other.

Now make it all harder still with post chains indented so far you can't even read them...

i like when they wheel estinien out to talk to dragons because the game will be like, estinien really has a way of talking with dragons! and the way he talks with dragons is like "are you a pussy or something" and then the dragon will be like "god you're such a bitch just like nidhogg" and, crucially, this works every time

Ngl it's kinda jarring seeing everyone here on Tumblr rightfully disliking AI, but then the offline folks treat it like Google

[bisexualjeans]

it’s literally so jarring to me when I have to interact with people outside of my designated people circle cuz I REALLY REALLU wanna hold them and shake them so hard because words cannot explain

zeus turning thalia into a tree as punishment for his own mistake (of having her!! her only mistake was that she was born which was not in her control!!!) instead of as an act of mercy, and then forcing chiron and everyone else to lie and say he saved her, is such a good change from the books i wonder why it wasn't done in the books. this choice makes the choice thalia is going to make - which side she's going to be on - an actual problem. also her being 15 and frozen in time as a tree instead of slowly aging makes so much more sense. like this change really shows you why it was so easy for kronos to manipulate luke, because the gods really do not care about them, they've never cared, and it won't be crazy to think that their children would want revenge. what a great writing decision pjotv writers i love you so much

GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING

Add the author’s reply, cowards!

[thewhiskeykitteh]

I scrolled through the notes on this post and my favorite has to be one mockingly accusing Madeline Miller (a Latin and Greek teacher with a Masters in Classics) of needing to do research and she wasn’t a real writer like them.

Anyway when I read that line I immediately understood what she was trying to say.

True Colors

Archaeologist Vinzenz Brinkmann insists his eye-popping reproductions of ancient Greek sculptures are right on target

Can we hope to understand how the Greeks saw their world? | Aeon Essays

The Greek colour experience was made of movement and shimmer. Can we ever glimpse what they saw when gazing out to sea?

In February of 2018, the BBC broadcast an eight-part miniseries, Troy: Fall of a City, that told the story of the Trojan War. Netflix later

Honestly, the first time I saw this tweet, I laughed my tits straight into the ocean.

I know what ‘olive skinned’ (and thus variations on it) means, but the author taking the time to have a little laugh, acknowledge that it’s at least a bit funny, and drop some knowledge is appreciated.

And a double thanks to the person I reblogged from for linking the articles.

The thread is perfect as it is, but just in case

Left: traditional extraction using a capacho basket, right modern extraction using a cold press. One is greenish brown and the other is green.

In case you want to see what the author meant about that not beeing what she saw.
