That’s when you dry out the stuff you grew when it was only 100°F

Also, Millet, sorghum, cow peas, person peas, cactus, okra, and sweet potatoes are the crops that already grow in the Sahel, where it’s usually right around triple digits. People live like this right now. They have for generations.

Ever heard of a well?

Why not?

If their email servers are flagging you incorrectly, correct them. Worst case scenario, nothing changes.

Friendo, for those of us that have lived in deserts, no one gets naked. During the day at least ;)

Light clothes are amazing. I lived for 3 years on the edge of the Sahara with no power and pulling water from a well. When it was 110+F, sitting under a tree and soaking your shirt in water was perfectly fine, and more than enough to be comfortable. Turbans are amazing technology.

And I’ve spent time above the Arctic circle. I can compare the two.

While you like to think “you can put in more clothes,” that’s nice and all… Both if you have the right clothes, and have imported heat and calories. OP is talking about perpetual Arctic circle winter. Nothing grows, you will run out if wood to burn to stay warm. You will import everything, from boots to gloves to pants to coats. Look at an Inuit diet. Now look at a Mediterranean diet. Civilization flourished in areas that get hot. Humans spent 50,000 years in the equatorial zone. We are built for it.

You do you, but, uh…enjoy your narwhal blubber and seal jerkey I guess?

Triple. No hesitation.

First off, coats are heavy and stupid. Breezy linens all day every day.

What food you going to grow in below freezing temps? Millet, sorghum, rice, grapes, tomatoes, onions, garlic – all already grow in triple digit temps. I’m eating well.

Natural evaporative cooling is easier to achieve than burning slow-growing resources for heat daily. Millennia-old technology exists to handle high temps.

More people live in the Sahara than the Arctic. I’m not a penguin, no matter what the other kids said in school.

Right? I couldn’t even get Voyager to show a feed, and every browser kicked for warnings. No idea how they would have missed it.

Hm. Well, either you’ve been flagged by someone else, or may be just the unlucky recipient of a wrongful profiling back when Proton was new. But it seems to me that it’s an individual problem, either your email address in particular, or your recipient.

If it were me, I would have a couple friends with gmail go and specifically mark my address as safe and trusted. Especially anyone that has your emails sent to spam.

Beyond that, maybe email some Google support and ask to be white listed.

Yeah, I told them them late yesterday. I figured someone else would, and apparently no one else did.

I think our instance just failed some social dynamics test.

Many, many things are what’s called a “perishable skill.” If you don’t use the skill, or a language for that matter, it will atrophy and you will forget how to do it.

Always in exactly 2 minutes early. 5 minutes early always forces me to have awkward small talk with someone, usually the organizer.

2 minutes is great. 30 seconds to get in, 1 minute for mic/sound check, 30 seconds left not long enough to have more small talk than hellos.

I have both for years, and never had a single Proton email go to gmail spam. Both personal gmail and a corporate Google Office account.

If it’s a custom domain, it’s likely a DKIM issue. Otherwise, this sounds like an issue with the recipient having previously marked an email from Proton as spam.

This should absolutely be held up as the example for people that say “I have nothing to hide.”

The world isn’t fun time sunshine lollipops, kids. It’s literally inevitable that your data gets leaked or stolen.

You either naïvely trust the service you give data to more than you should, or you naïvely trust criminals to skip you when given the opportunity. There no evidence of a middle ground or other options in the matter.

IIRC, they’ve stated that they won’t accept Monero because it means they would fail external financial audits they need to remain in operation in Switzerland. Sign all you want, they won’t do this.

Plus - y’all, email is not secure anyway. Even Proton. Why would you sign a petition to make the payment method more anonymous than the service they provide? Just send them cash by DHL.

The problem with this is that it leaves left-leaning people using tech companies and slick, highly-produced products as status items. iphones and macbooks are still solid left-leaning status objects.

Also, the right doesn’t mind being scrappy and using janky, poorly configured crap if it appears to meet their agenda. Nearly every right-leaning social media platform is either a platform with a Mastadon backend, or some early 2000’s style forum.

Ah, yes, Republika Srbska. The most dangerous game.

Wait…

I recently tried using the Google Translate image translator. Totally locked up now, requiring Play Store and Google App. Still didn’t work, but is was seriously just “if you don’t give us everything now, we won’t do basic shit for you.”

Slight sarcasm - I’m also a Mint user, and it was like a recursive reference to this meme from forever ago. Maybe it was too specific and dated, but the point is that since Macs were so easy to use, the Windows people back in the 8.1 days treated Mac users like kindergartners as they paid for their $1,000 facebook machines (also a meme from that time).

All the “Yeah, I use Arch, BTW” people that love the struggle and the hobbyist tweaks of their distros seem to look down on Mint users because it doesn’t require a struggle to use Mint. I used to see it all the time when I first jumped over to Linux.

For the most part, it works well without needing too much tinkering by the user. It’s the Fisher Price My First Distro.

I tried it out with a 21.3 dualboot with Windows 11 and within 2 or 3 months I hadn’t gone back to Windows other than to push files over. Sure, there were a few “learning opportunities” with tweaks or weird driver issues that were because of the particular hardware I’m using, but they were manageable. At this point I’m running 22.1 only on this machine.

The nice part is that being Ubuntu-based, if I run into a problem, I can search for both the more widely-documented Ubuntu version of the issue, or look for a Mint-related version. Claude does a great job with small-to-medium troubleshooting rather than me dig through forums. It’s low-risk, low-work, high-reward.

This is not new, and not because WhatsApp is somehow “untrustworthy.” It’s been banned from most govt desktops for years.

It’s end-to-end encrypted, so it bypasses malware filters. A House staffer can easily be sent a malicious file and spread it around to others before anyone learns the file is malicious.

I also truly hate “family groups” where phones and accounts commonly associated with you get just pings on a topic to make you more malleable to the idea when you finally get the ads.
