Perhaps this is the first step towards a new START treaty that includes the countries you mentioned? I doubt that's Trump's intentions but that outcome seems probable if everyone starts testing.
Here's my personal answer to that question. I care about privacy. However, maintaining it has become a never ending process that gets more complicated as time goes on. Plus there's always more one could do. I'm not going to stop using payment cards, I'm not going to get a prepaid phone running graphene, I'm not going to whatever comes next.
I'm starting to think that my personal cost/benefit analysis is leaning towards not caring about privacy. What have I gotten out of trying to maintain privacy? Inconvenience and expense. What have I gained from letting the creepy corpo overlords watch me? A decent map app, autocorrect, 3% cash back at restaurants and groceries, facebook marketplace. It really seems like I get services and discounts for giving up my privacy.
I even signed up for that fucking global entry program so I can have TSA precheck and get through customs fast. I hate that. It feels so wrong but I'm growing increasingly sure it doesn't matter. I'm not special, the government won't care about me now or in the future, and the benefits of not caring outweigh the gains of trying to hide.
This is a terrible point of view, I know, but I just don't care anymore. I like the idea of privacy, but I'm finding the practicality to be too difficult.
It's the downstream effects of your message that I'm worried about. We shouldn't get sloppy with nuclear material. Suggesting that a little radiation exposure isn't bad or a little water contamination isn't bad, while perhaps technically correct, can lead to sloppiness and eroding standards. People should be afraid of radiation so they respect it.
Perhaps this is true, however it's a slippery slope. "Don't mind my leaky reactor. If anything it's good for you, a little bit of extra radiation reduces your risk of cancer."
Honestly OP this is such a weird message to be pushing. Are you heavily invested in nuclear or something?
The vote ratio on my comments contradict the vote ratio on the post.
You're assuming preferences of strangers, not cool.
No one is stopping them
You are stopping them. You're telling new users to avoid that community, which is probably stopping many. Most people when visiting a new city would listen to someone who suggests avoiding a particular area.
You're worried about .ml scaring off fediverse users? The fediverse is a big place, with .world being the biggest. If they don't like .ml then they'll find .world. If you're right about .ml then let people find it, promote it even, and they'll bounce to .world if .ml is too mean.
Y'all making memes about nsfw subs? No, you're not.
Why would I warn my friend? I know their preferences. Why wouldn't I warn the masses? I don't know or care about their preferences. Maybe they'd like .ml, who knows, let them find out on their own.
I just don't follow the logic. Let people waunder in to .ml and find out for themselves. Right now it just looks like the libs of .world are trying to censor .ml. What is .world so afraid of? Lemmygrad? That place is hilarious.
