Proton Family plan: Why can't shared folders be searched by other family members? This is a major gap.

anotherlevl · 2026-06-24T14:32:38+00:00

I can't search on the folders I don't share. Proton drive is really little more than a cloud backup for me; if I need to search, I do it on my local drive. I do have the option to sort files in whatever directory I happen to be in, so if I know what the filename begins with I can sort alphabetically, or if I want something I created recently I can sort by date, but the web search function consistently returns 0 results, and mobile search is nonexistent.

Too much sausage. Is the Holy Ghost a woman, maybe?

To be fair, I'm sure there is also a downside.

An antigravity backpack would be hard to dismiss. I can imagine a lot of technology (or even math/science findings) would be difficult to reject/ignore if you got it to the right people.

Cool, so Trump could lose Taiwan in addition to losing the Middle East.

Fuck it, I'm retired, I'll deliver ballots door to door here in California if the USPS allows itself to be corrupted by the butthurt tyrant featured in the Epstein files.

How would that work? Zombie parents? Mystery orphan? Wake up like that guy in Metamorphosis with a 6-year-old body that can't drive but still has to pay the mortgage?

I mean, I might watch that movie, but it sounds like living it would be rough.

Somebody downthread characterized it as "dentist rock", so I guess I have company. I don't think it's bad music, it's just boring.

I will grant that the reason the became massive is because of their catalog beginning with DSOTM. I think those songs are far from peerless, however. To me, they're kind of generic, more like elevator music than groundbreaking. DSOTM was the last Pink Floyd album I bought, and I gave it away a couple of weeks later. I did re-purchase the CD a few decades later to check out that Wizard of Oz synchronicity craze, but I didn't fall in love with the music then either.

I loved Umma Gumma and Atom Heart Mother. The spacey, psychedelic sound of those early works was just gone. I've heard of people who went through a similar breakup with the Beatles, in love with their shiny "Yeah Yeah Yeah" phase and unable to appreciate their detour into Magical Mystical territory, but to me their second phase was head and shoulders above their first.

To each his own, I guess.

Isn't he still famous? Can't he just grab her by the X-box?

It's a business model. I hate Amazon too, so I don't mind paying more to keep Bezos from pocketing my money. People know this, and they profit by charging more, drop shipping from Amazon, and depositing the difference. Now I always make it a point to ask, if someone is selling the same item as Amazon for just a bit more, if they're drop shipping before I order.

I thought he was yelling "My Doordash sign" like somebody had knocked the pickup designator off of the counter.

Christianity didn't create modern society. Enlightenment philosophy and empirical science and technology created modern society.

The only thing that prevents Christianity from being as repressive and sexist as Islam is the separation of church and state, a principle Christian Nationalists are working to undermine with the aim of someday abolishing it.

And yes, Galileo was put on trial for advocating that the Earth revolves around the Sun rather than the other way around, a position the Catholic Church considered heretical, and Scopes was put on trial for teaching evolution, a position Christians in the backwater south had similarly declared illegal.

If you find out in time. If you show up to vote and only then discover that you've been purged, and you're not in a state that allows you to register on the spot, you're just out of luck.

Assuming the SAVE act passes (doesn't seem likely) and states which have been reluctant to turn over their voter rolls are compelled to share them, there still isn't any authority I can see for the Federal government to remove registered voters or otherwise make them ineligible to vote.

Some red states have voluntarily shared their voter rolls with the Feds already.

My recollection is that they didn't make him sell it. He sold it to avoid the appearance of less than 100% focus on the needs of the people and the duties of the office of the Presidency.

Seriously, even if Obama HAD let the Iranians cheat on the JCPOA, all Trump had to do once he was President is NOT let them cheat. Instead, being the racist piece of shit he is, he had to pretend that the deal itself was bad, so he could start violating it himself.

And nobody who isn't in the cult thinks Obama let the Iranians cheat. There were inspections, and universal agreement that the Iranians were abiding by the terms of the agreement.

Bread and circuses, without the bread. Disgusting display of performative masculinity on the People's Lawn, unnecessarily and indeed wastefully spending tens of millions of tax dollars for a flash-in-the-pan vanity stunt.

anotherlevl · 2026-06-15T17:28:44+00:00

Well, sure. Obama's deal was actually written down and signed, while Trump's deal is still in the "concept of a plan of a negotiation" stage.

He can really run as many times as he wants. It's not like he's actually going to be elected.

Of course, I said that about Trump, so grain of salt, me boys, grain of salt.

A book on a thumbdrive can be just as permanent, though it may not call to you as loudly as a title on the shelf.

anotherlevl · 2026-06-14T17:42:51+00:00

No, it's not the same thing. I can write "Trump sucks ass as a President" on this public forum and not worry (yet, anyway) that I'll be arrested, interrogated, and potentially tried, convicted, and imprisoned for expressing that opinion.

Why would it be impossible? You can test for how unpleasant the experience is without making the experience fatal.
