Lavabit alternatives! Anyone?
I have zero issues with pet gifts. Zero.
There will still be a need for mail servers, but we could move to a scheme where after downloading an e-mail, the computer encrypts it and sends it back to the server which then deletes its unencrypted copy. That way you still have the benefit of the cloud.
Following the law does not make you an authoritarian. If Snowden had been charged with robbing your house or selling drugs to your kids and someone protected him, you wouldn't be defending him. Snowden is an alleged criminal. If the authorities bring a warrant to you seeking information and you refuse, you should…
Damn straight I said (i.e. wrote) that with a straight face.
The move from the Cloud to PCs is starting to happen.
I think you're more ignorant than you realize. Our government loves terrorist, it's what lets them make more and more laws to "protect us".
That's not strange wording. The US government has gone full-fascist. He is literally saying that if you value privacy and liberty, you need to use a service hosted by a country that still values those things (e.g. Sweden, Germany, etc).
Maybe he should not have protected an alleged criminal. We don't get to decide who is innocent or guilty. That is what the court system does. If you don't cooperate in an investigation, you either disrupting an investigation or aiding a fugitive. It seems like everyone has forgotten that we have laws. Snowden…

FYI, here is Lavabit's features list on the Wayback Machine.
It is always interesting to see that when principles are tested, which side our government tends to fall on....which is exactly the problem with having secret programs like what has been revealed by Snowden.
Fucking terrifying
Users of the extra secure and private email provider Lavabit are out of luck after the owner shut down the service…

There's always people trying to slow us down. Screw them.
Seriously. This article is so full of thinly veiled contempt it's just silly. These all sound like completely legitimate ways to go about getting into a real character. I don't think there's anything he could do short of transform into Jobs himself to get people like Chan to let go of their preconceived notions of…
To be fair, what could he have said to change your mind?
Karl had a very cute kitty. Choupette.
