Isn't the problem that they could be compromised enough already? Here's some thing that could eventually lead to issues:
1. They have your phonenumber. Which in 99% of the world means it will lead to you when things get "seized" (stolen).
2. Their servers are centralised meaning that if things get "seized" (stolen) they may at some point find a hole, or a a brute force attack vector that will be able to do something with that data.
I am not saying it is not secure (right now) or you should not use it, but it makes it really easy to apply a lot of pressure on a single point and that is something you have to consider if you need absolute privacy.

I think there could be something more sophisticated but from a censorship point of view this is actually not so bad. Most firewalls won't block 443, you can use simple http proxies if that's your only way out and blocking on ip level will be an administrative nightmare.
I mean it can of course be done (looking at you China ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ)

Yes there is additionally inflation. May even be a worse beast than taxes. Handing people at the top the most and by the time it "trickles down" the prices of everything has gone up before the scraps reach the people that actually needed it the most.

I have been very happy using a 2020 dell XPS 13 with ubuntu. It's pretty fast and sleak, is way waaaay smaller and lighter than my 2013 macbook pro 13".
I would argue the only downside is that battery life is a little less than the old macbook.
Also, everything worked out of the box, including things like the fingerprint reader and the webcam and most importantly: the trackpad is actually usable and nice like on a macbook, not complete rubbish like every other non-mac i ever owned.

My neighbours fixed this by just having an old freezer in the garden filled with water. Apparently that works because the freezer is under outside circumstances mostly unable to get the water frozen completely so they just used a hammer to destroy some of the ice and then plunged in. It's of course not super clean after weeks of use but it's at least cold enough to ensure the water does not accumulate any bacteria.
I don't know how they did it in winter but i'm sure it could be sort of regulated with a simple timer attached to the power supply.

News is like pharma. They're not in the business of keeping people up to date with (f)actual (world) events. They're in the business of selling ads and/or subscriptions.
If you would stop clicking on outrageous headlines they would stop making money off of it and change their business model.

I came here mostly because it was what bitcoiners were talking about. I have never used any other social media platform in any meaningful way (i.e. i never had a twitter account and i used to have a facebook account that i maybe posted 2 or 3 things on 15 years ago).
I am not that much interested in the social media aspect even though it's nice that there are a lot of like-minded people on here. To me it's more about other possibilities this type of platform can offer. There's loads of potential here for widely different use cases than other platforms can offer without deviating too much from their core business.

News is just entertainment in a different form any way. Ask yourself this:
- When was the last time i read/saw a news article and i changed my life because of it?
- (From the top of your head) What were the most important articles of last month?
I've heard many people say it is important to be up to date with what's happening in the world, but the reality is that i can read about events happening somewhere and that may give some kind of emotional feeling of angriness, happiness or sadness, but i am not going to change anything in my life because of it. So it feels very aritificial to me to spend time on it.
News articles can still be a a good source if you are actually looking for information on a subject, but just presenting daily affairs of things that will have no impact on me except emotions is just wasteful.

I think it's slightly more nuanced.
If you describe a job as slaving away to get by and don't starve vs contributing to society and making the world a better place the latter sounds much more intriguing.
It's not that I don't think all these other things matter but they are not going to fill up your entire day for the rest of your life.
However i do agree that there could be more focus on those parts for sure.

Maybe it's a good idea to somehow, somewhere prominently show last month's relay costs, broken down in those 3 area's so people have an idea of what it costs to host these relays and additionally show a "drive" of how much of these costs have been donated.
It's probably hard because you would have to do it client sided and all/most clients would have to implement this.
It's definitely not an end-all solution but giving insight in costs and covered costs at least gives people a general ballpark idea of what we would need to cover in the current situation and make it more likely to pay their part.

I'm sorry you feel mistreated and/or traumatized about what was done to you but i don't think communicating it in this way helps you or anybody reading it.
If you feel people need to be more aware of the possible consequences a small note with clear text would suffice and help more people.
Having said that, the erotic act of "hawk tuah" is to me, as an uncircumcised person, just as erotic an idea as it is to anybody else, even if it serves no actual purpose in the form of lubrication.
