If I may quote @givesomefucks@lemmy.world:

"The government has been warning them for 70 years…

"They had pumps to remove groundwater, unfortunately they worked so well people figured they weren’t necessary and they stopped being maintained.

"The heavy rains this year were too much after losing so many pumps, so what was 1cm a day drift began to happen feet at a time.

"Everyone that lives there bought their house when we knew this was an issue, but they’re rich and figured they could do what they want.

“Fuck any bailouts they get, it could help so many people that actually need it instead.”

Interesting. I never thought about it that way.

Do they get depressed when they can’t “catch” the dot? I’ve heard that can be an issue with long term usage. I don’t know if it’s true though.

In some areas the system is clearly broken.

I haven’t heard that since the Beavis and Butthead days. LOL, thanks for taking me back.

Edit: ROFL… I’m at a bar and right after I posted this comment I saw a sticker on the beer tap. The bar logo here is a woman in a Martini glass and someone made a sticker with that woman’s face as (what looks like) Butthead. Perfect timing.

Here’s the sticker:

Zoomed out:

It’s about as “abusive” as using a laser pointer to play with your cat. A behaviour I personally find repugnant, but one enjoyed by cat owners the world over.

I’m curious, why do you fund it repugnant?

You might get the impression that we are lol

I don’t get it. What’s the reference?

Yo.

Oops, my bad.

I heard it’s antisemitic to think it’s bad to shoot food aid workers.

Toss it on the pile I guess.

• ProtonMail Amends Its Policy After Giving Up an Activist’s Data -(archive)-

The email service says it was unable to appeal a Swiss court’s demand to log the IP address of a French climate advocate.

This weekend, news broke that the anonymous email service ProtonMail turned over a French climate activist’s IP address and browser fingerprint to Swiss authorities. The move seemed to contradict the company’s own privacy-focused policies, which as recently as last week stated, “By default, we do not keep any IP logs which can be linked to your anonymous email account.”

Edit: formatting

It’s probably tight enough for your needs. Unless you live in Switzerland or are breaking Swiss law, they’d need a really good reason to send your data anywhere.

Unless you’re a climate activist in France:
