The point is that if you’re going to keep blackmail, you have to share with the government.
The easy answer is to stop keeping blackmail.

There are different types. The “financial duty” of corporations is generally overblown, however that is more or less what happened with Twitter. Elon made such a dumb offer that they had to put it to their shareholders. There’s some mechanism where shareholders can vote as a whole to sell, and if the vote passes then you don’t get a choice.
But generally corporations absolutely aren’t required to do whatever makes the most money. They’re allowed to put other values above pure profit, as long as they can justify it being in the shareholders’ interests. The shareholders may disagree and vote them out because of it, but as long as it was plausible, it’s legal. For instance, I believe the board of an Oil company could decide to shut down their wells and fully pivot to renewables, and I don’t think the courts would hold them accountable. Preventing climate change is easily arguable as in the shareholders’ interest, even at the cost of significant money. However that board would likely quickly be voted out. (And it’s unlikely they would have gotten there if they didn’t love oil money.)
If you own 51% of shares, public or not, you can’t be forced to sell afaik. And if you’re private, you’d have to do some pretty big illegal defamation or something to be forced to sell your property. Or you could die and your descendents could decide to sell.
One issue is that we’ve set up our tax system to encourage cashing out asap. For the most part in the US, you’re going to be taxed at 37% whether you sell now or whether you have the company pay you out for the next twenty years. So why not get out while the gettin’ is good? In the past, with a 90% top marginal rate at a higher income, it was often better to keep your money in the company and in the reputation, and just have it pay you out at a medium tax bracket for the next fifty years. All you really need to do as your job is make sure the company stays stable anyway. You can do that while spending four days on the golf course.
He’s taking a fee in order to launder your money.
He can write the code. He can release the source. Nothing is illegal until he takes currency.
I don’t think you understand. Banks (or anyone who accepts large amounts of money) has a duty to have some idea of where that money comes from. There are anti money laundering laws.
Go open a bank account right now and try to deposit a briefcase full of $50,000 in cash and see what happens. You might, maybe be able to do it, but there will absolutely be questions.
This happens with cash too. If you take in a bunch of cash, you have a duty to know what it’s from so that you’re not facilitating terrorism or crime or subverting sanctions. In fact, of you handle cash or finance, you generally have to take training on these laws every year.
This thing is the definition of money laundering and was known for exactly those problems.
This is the biggest reason I don’t own a smartwatch yet. I want to own my own health data, and not have it locked into Fitbit or Google.
You can use both on your phone to sync with each of them, yes. Immich and Google Photos won’t communicate directly (and don’t need to).
It’s a good idea in case your Google account ever gets banned. (Say you issue a chargeback against Google Wallet or something.)
I have a lot of experience with both. As a tech savvy user, I slightly prefer KeePass. Syncing between devices is slightly more painful, but I find it to be more reliable, and it doesn’t have the attack surface that Bitwarden does. (While encrypted, Bitwarden still really wants a web server and a local database connection.)
VaultWarden is probably better for those who can’t be bothered to move a file around and want direct browser integration. With KeePass when you need a password, you’ll make sure the username has focus and then alt+tab to KeePass and hit “autofill”. Some sites won’t take “username{tab}password{enter}” and you’ll have to customize the configuration.
VaultWarden is better at prompting you to add new passwords. I prefer the workflow that’s encouraged by KeePass, where you open the app first and use the app to open the URL. (You can do this in VaultWarden too, but it’s less obvious.)
For images I highly recommend Immich. It’s the Google Photos equivalent, and it works excellently.
I use SyncThing for documents, but photos from my phone go to Immich.
VaultWarden if you want all the features without paying $40/year.
Otherwise Bitwarden will either allow you to self-host OR allow you to share passwords with one other person (using their server), but not both.
VaultWarden just unlocks all the features.
I don’t agree, but it’s a unique, interesting thought that I can upvote.
If my job didn’t pay me, I would have certainly burned out years ago. For one, I’d need another job.
Fewer people will get into unraid. Natural churn will happen. The OS will slowly die, and as it dies usability will get worse.
Not many people are going to choose the subscription Linux over a free Linux.
I should repeatedly talk about putting unions into SQL queries.
Are you trapped in the wilderness? If you’ve been abducted by hyenas, hoot like an owl twice.
If you don’t have a local copy you’re likely to lose it.
Especially since parenting is the only thing that’s going to actually work. Do you think kids won’t figure out a VPN? If they heard enough to type “pornhub”, they’ll hear about the one extra step.
And there are worse things on the Internet than porn. Some likely on Roblox.
You’re just going to have to parent your kid with or without this nanny state blocking scheme.
This 702 provision only allows spying on your communications with foreigners, and it’s being used much less now than in the past.
How you feel about that is up to you, but it shouldn’t be construed as a broad ability to spy on Americans without restriction.
All the governments?
