Some office administrative was going to be fired, but due to timezone confusion all her accounts were terminated before HR got to the office.

For half of the morning somebody had to pretend to be checking with IT why her computer didn’t work.

The reality is that the gender and race of the main character has little to do with it being fascist. What makes it fascist is that it depicts the cop as the most important and trustworthy member of the team.

Then this article disagrees with you because it only focused on the race and gender. I’m not versed enough in paw patrol to know if it’s the most important member of the team, most of the time they have to solve everything through collaboration of each expertise.

Everything else you said it’s not relevant to this.

I’ve went through the article and it’s ckickbait at best, garbage at worst.

Regarding paw patrol, the criticism is that the child is a white male and a mother that complains that in a two pup mission on an episode she saw the two pups were male.

Are you really telling me that is the boy was Japanese then the show wouldn’t be fascist? Or a single chromosome would make it ok?

There’s real fascism running around but somehow that’s overlooked in favor of calling fascism to everything else.

Publicly accessible: reviewed and audited by hundreds of teams that confirmed there’s no backdoor. Venezuelan, Russian and Chinese governments didn’t find the holes, even having access to the code. If they did, they would be exploiting it to… reeducate.

Yeah, I would expect to trust that. Still, you said yourself, the problem is that is used by dissidents. And we can’t have that, right?

Yeah. Telegram, should be next, there’s a huge risk with it too. And email! Social networks too, just in case. And postal mail, we can’t forget that. We should crack down any form of uncensored communication.

All for the benefit of the people, of course. \s

Why countries that do not prosecute political dissent bock apps used by political dissenters? /s

Because that’s not our threat model.

I want to be anonymous for the sites I visit. I want my ISP, who’s likely selling my data, to have none. I want to use a WiFi without anybody sniffing.

I’m lucky enough to live in a county were I’m not prosecuted for my ideas or who I am, and I’m not doing anything illicit aside from torrent.

So the hassle doesn’t seem needed in this case. If I think Mullvad can harm me if they know my name, then I wouldn’t use it at all, even with private payments.

Could be worse, could be Z for Zionist

That last example is extremely bad and reeks of bad faith argument. Eating apples, as with fruits and fresh produce in general, has been tested multiples times and some of it’s benefits measured.

There’s already a general consensus that they are “beneficial”. A study that says “apples are good for you” wouldn’t add anything unless they are good in a way that wasn’t known before. For example, do they have a different and unknown impact in people with a specific condition?

Of course if the study doesn’t have any real study behind and just says things like “apples are good because they are fruits” then it can be labeled as pseudoscience.
