the 'giving protestor info to USA authorities' thing dented Proton's reputation by a lot

https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonym...

but people copy and paste pertinent info from articles all the time and have done for many many years, so why would you think it's a hard and fast sign of bot activity

public/legislative demand for data portability is imho the movement that will help shift society from this cycle

edit: oh, that and distributed authentication and distributed discovery

excellent ~10h The Rest Is History podcast playlist covering the context and details

the "concern" of US civilians in general is different from the result of their nations behaviours

Scotland is part of GB, so the fairly likely Northern Ireland exit will be the big blow to the "UK"

someone who needs mindfulness might know they need it and thus talk about it

one reflection on that would be the nvc phrase "violence is the tragic expression of unmet needs"

the Buddha taught critical thinking regarding the base teachings, an emphasis that was lost by many later schools of thought

Early Buddhist Texts (EBT) are fairly non-religious, e.g. see the Thai forest tradition/BSWA talks

this school of thought even often ignores a fair portion of the abhidama texts ("about dhamma", the meta commentaries) that started to form a number of years after the death of the Buddha

if anyone wants a seriously good deep deep deconstruction of the main mindfulness sutta/sutra from this perspective, podcast kinda form, see https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL70fWqztn7OXdbGqWEOvhOVqf...
