No one lost money or houses, people that bought a house got the hosue they live in.
On the other hand people that wanted to flip houses and bought a whole block without any real intention of using the houses will have lost a lot of money. Houses are not investments and they learned the hard way

No one that bought a house to live in got wrecked, they are living in the house they pay for. Only people that saw houses as investments (very wrong view) lost money.

We are not talking about immigration, and I did not ask you about your opinion on it. (Respectfully)
we are talking about how the police are censoring and infiltrating the protests to make people like you think that it's just a "violent protest with no real motive behind". You are falling for the propaganda, because that is exactly what you think.
I agree with you, many violent actions in the protest are being made by provocateurs and looters that aren't using the protest for revindicating their rights amd are sabotaging it. That is exactly why the protest is real. The government is actively trying to take it down using misinformation.

Both. Inside the protest there are infiltrated provocateurs that help escalate the situation to justify a violent police repression of the real protesters.
You think it is not a real protest because you are only seeing violent infiltrated actors and opportunists, and the real people trying to raise their voice are being silenced.

Again, people protesting can show any flag or banner they want. You don't need any justification or motive to protest.
Police are seizing posters they don't want the media to see, and infiltrating with aggresive agents that turn the protests into riots. That's why you see a violent protest with no clear motive. You are falling into their manipulation.

I am agreeing with you, they are provocateurs. Police are seizing banners and posters from the protestors and infiltrating the protests as violent rioters. And that's what they want you to think, that the protest doesnt have any real goal and it's only people wanting to break havoc. You are falling for the propaganda if you think that these are not real protests or that they aren't stating clearly what they want from this movement.

2026-10-25 13:54:22 GMT

- reply

YOU sound like propaganda.
No one needs a reason, motive or permission to protest, and all the protests going on right now are a legitimate response from people that just cannot take it anymore.
Police are infiltrating the groups to create agitation and break stuff, making people think that this is not the way people should protest. The reality is, it's the only way. No other non-violent movement (voting, for instance) will do shit.
The government is the monopoly of violence and we need to respond in the same way.

There's no excuse for violence from the police, no matter what they did before. Once the police surround and control a group, hitting them is just abusing power.
There are always opportunists, and looters. Still, the police is not making the right moves. They are raising a generation that will grow afraid and angry against them.
In my opinion, someone is pulling strings to create tensions and prepare the society for the imposition of an army-state. They are preparing Europe for a war they don't know about yet.

This is why governments want to control access to social media for children.
Tiktok, discord... Etc. Serve as real time communication systems and allow the youth to organize in mass. An organized protest formed by young people is the worst for the state: they have more than enough time and energy, and too little to loose (legally) making them wreckless against the police. Any strong police action in response will be easily seen as abuse, as it's literally that: Armed officers charging against kids.
This is why movements like punk were created: a way to let the kids rebellious intent out, but with meaningless actions like music, style and closed online groups.
The state cannot afford kids to organize and push against them they must divide them and contain them while making rebels follow "rebellious" social trends.

Well, first of all, it is a personal opinion of mine that services like tuta and proton are honeypots for the simple reason that they are operating legally and thriving in some way.
A bit cynical from my part, but being honest, if a service provider was really an obstacle to the state they would not last. The sole reason that they are still up makes me think that they are cooperating in some level. Nothing strange here, if a service is pro-privacy it will of course be more scrutinized by the government. And I would not be surprised if some of them were honeypots (like in Operation Trojan Shield)
Now with this said, I don't think the price change is a proactive attack from proton to its clients. But it is a fact that, if you bill different quantities to different clients, you are creating less private metadata. There is gonna be more identifiable groups.
I have used both tutanota and protonmail (not only mail, some services too) but I really think that by switching from full-google to full-proton you are just changing who you have to trust with your data.
I am not trying to defamate proton, and I am not going to change my instincts just because you think I am. If I see a service actively promoting itself as pro-privacy while at the same time being legal I always have some level of suspicion. Because legality for the state includes breaking into people's private data. I won't fully trust protonmail, tutanota, NordVPN, Mullvad, or any others.

The thing is payment fingerprinting would also work outside bank payments. If you declare a btc sell equivalent to the proton subscription every month, they know you have a proton account. And if the prices you pay match the tailored quantities of a singular proton account they can KYC your crypto-paid proton account.
A bit complex and probably not effective in real life unless it's a tailored attack, but my point is if proton personalizes price/any sort of content they are turning a big pool of anonymous metadata into smaller and more trackable groups. Prices are indeed used for tracking.

VPN users. If every VPN account has an unique monthly payment amount, a bank can check your transactions and know that it is you paying for it, because no one else would have a monthly payment matching that specific price. This example is a bit extreme because for the moment prices are not that unique. But if proton is creating, for example, 3 different prices, the pool of users that could own a certain account is reduced to one third just by looking at their subscription price.

Remember, they are deanonimizing users. If everyone has a different subscription price they can distinguish between their users with that. And the government can just get a bank statement and look for that specific amount each period.

A bit paradoxical: If the policy can be easily changed by individuals with no effect on the network... Core v30 was unnecessary. An arbitrary change of the node configuration with no real effect on the network. Anyone who wanted a bigger OP_RETURN could just have configured it themselves without needing to modify the defaults.
I still don't see a reason why having a 100 times bigger OP_RETURN is necessary for any monetary transaction. There is no single reason having a 100 times bigger transaction while moving the same money is useful in the protocol. Any way of making a transaction bigger than it should necessarily be is an exploit in a monetary protocol.
Protocol changes, although extreme, are necessary as no one can predict vulnerabilities in decades of a protocol running. The bitcoin legacy chain itself is just the result of many forks and protocol adjustments.

If only the security issues you consider valid are taken into account, then yeah, only wallets you want to be will be secure. The thing is: there is no "fair" security failure. Any failure can take away your coins.

I know you established a permission system: It's yours, and it should be up to you who gets access to the crate, even for copying. From your point of view there is a violation of that system.

If I had one crate that I created with my effort, and someone came and copied it to get one for themselves without making any effort, I do not have any reason not to let them, apart from envy/pettiness (not wanting someone to have the same stuff as me while making less effort).
No one took my crate, I still have the same result after having spent the same effort/time/money on them.

Microsoft wanted to "own" operating systems. Copyrighted command names and concepts.
Now countless servers run on Linux.
Oracle wanted to "own" an SQL engine (MySQL). After being licensed and paywalled (Oracle DB) it was forked into MariaDB, free to use by anyone. Many companies switched from the oracle "owned" engine to the free one.
There are many examples of the same pettiness problem: People wanting to own a concept or idea, originally theirs or not, and gatekeep it for everyone else. And it always ends the same way: Others will implement the same idea and offer its true value (the service/product) to the world. And trying to stop it, trying to stop ideas from flowing from brain to brain, is completely impossible.

Wanting consequences for someone who did something that doesn't affect you at all (like duplicating something yours: no one loses anything) just for the sake of it is just selfish and petty.
Cost of opportunity does not apply to ideas. Amazon, Google, Microsoft... They don't win money just by "owning" ideas, but by having the means and infrastructure to execute them as a service for people and companies that don't want to create it themselves.
You are not going to get money from owning an idea. No one is going to pay you for something that isn't even a prototype, and big companies will just create a legally-defendable copycat and deploy it on their infra. And this can be applied to music, writing, art... Etc.
