I think the saying goes the other way around. Sit at a table with 5 Nazis, now there’s 6 Nazis. A table with 1 Nazi is just an outlier and an embarrassment. A laughing stock.

From his job? Working for an employer who cannot tell him how to spend his own money.

Clickbait title. It’s one of the coowners who has donated his personal funds to this party. The other owner and other members of the company disapprove of the decision.

Understandable in that there’s no way a company or employer can tell you how to spend your money. That there’s 2 owners with divided beliefs who are working for a similar cause. They are indeed private individuals using their individually earned money for private purposes.

If, let’s say, Mullvad as a company was donating to this political party, that would be alarming and worth freaking out about, but it’s one guy, basically donating with his funds he makes from his job. In a corporate environment there are many different people with different beliefs, of different economic statuses. Somebody might be donating thousands to one candidate, another donating hundreds to another.

Just because the co-owner of a company you like supports somebody you don’t like, doesn’t mean you should jump ship. Who knows if everybody else in the company is donating to other political causes?

Highly recommend everyone read the direct response this article is quoting. Direct from the other owner of the company on Hacker News. Makes the whole “scandal” seem very understandable in my opinion.

Additionally,

I’ve heard of performance problems trying to produce in a VM so haven’t tried that, but if you try it and it works let me know because I’d love to stop dual booting.

I’ve tried getting FL Studio to work multiple times but keep running into little issues. Tried Bitwig but can’t get the workflow down since it’s too different from FL. Unfortunately the best way for me is to dual boot since I don’t want to spend time fixing broken settings when I want to produce. Sadly it’s the only thing keeping Windows on my PC.

He gave people information that they otherwise wouldn’t have, regarding the surveillance state at the time. Definitely good for the common person, bad for the government.

I do wish there was more done about it. It seems like not enough happened and now things are even worse with the thousands of internet trackers, Google, Meta, Flock, etc… We needed some kind of privacy protections but we didn’t get enough and now we’re here, on platforms like Lemmy, avoiding the all-knowing algorithm as much as possible.

How did we go from “Ahh! The government can listen to our phonecalls and read our emails!” to “Sure Big Tech, train your AI on my personal photos, location, usage habits, and manipulate my internet experience for profit! Please do!!!”

How I wake up

I had nice plants at the last place I lived but had to move back in with my dad about 2 years ago and his orange cat eats LITERALLY anything green and leafy. All plants I brought with were either eaten to death or moved to inadequate spots in order to be saved from being eaten, only to die from lack of proper light…

I wish I could grow plants but sadly I live with demon spawn and nothing I’ve tried has helped lol.

Seconded, been using the fossify launcher for probably over a year now. Only thing I wish it had was customizable icons, but otherwise it’s perfect.
