Tariffs will be lifted for microchips and computers on Monday.

Monday afternoon they’ll be back, but only for computers you can run Quake on.

On Tuesday there'll be new tariffs, but they won’t tell what'll be affected. Surprise!

Wednesday? We’ll have some new tariffs, but they’ll come in blue. Half the tariffs will also be gone. Which half? Who knows?

Thursday’s been cancelled, couldn’t afford it anymore.

There might or might not be some announcement on Friday. It might happen on Truth Social or on X. It might happen on market open or after market close. It’ll be made by a newly-created account. If you find it, you can profit for like 5 minutes. Thrilling!

 

Any law that shits on your rights will eventually be used by fascists.

And yet there are still countries pushing for ChatControl / encryption bans in Europe.

It would have been better to use this link. It contains their username and looks way less fishy: https://www.youtube.com/@americanmedicalassociation/videos

It's also linked from their main page (see YouTube link at the bottom): https://www.ama-assn.org/

Link to the original article: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/28/politics/us-intel-russia-china-attempt-recruit-disgruntled-federal-employees/index.html

In other news, this is expected. Fire enough people with skills and knowledge being brutal about it and you create some disaffection. If Russia and China weren't trying to fish something in there they'd be negligent.

I was doing this with documents only when I was using Veracrypt, which forces you to have a fixed volume size and I had to pick and choose what to put inside. When I discovered Cryptomator, which uses a directory and can grow as much as needed, I decided that there was no need to think about what I should encrypt and what not: let's just put everything inside that folder and be done with it.

Use whatever cloud provider + encryption on your side. That way you don't have to trust them.

I use pCloud (based in Switzerland) and what I sync is a Cryptomator vault. You have other options, such as VeraCrypt, etc.

First of all, thanks for all the work you do. I lived almost 10 years in Canada and having an account here makes me feel warm inside (not on the outside :-) ).

Any idea why the recent influx of new users? May it have anything to do with Reddit planning to put some subreddits behind a paywal?

Thanks again!
