I’m really not a fan of the high waisted era. Bring back the hipster era

dingus ,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t disagree, but the high-waisted era works a lot better for girls with more curve to their figures, which I see as a net gain.

And considering the number of overweight/obese people continues to grow apace, it’s not a bad thing for them to be able to feel good about themselves and have fashion options that flatter their figures instead of all fashion being catered to near-impossible body types.

This should not be read as an endorsement of obesity, which can be a dangerous medical issue, but rather a willingness to see that everyone deserves to feel positive about their self image. Weight gain is a difficult issue to tackle in a country that subsidizes corn syrup and puts it in damn everything, on top of a broken education system that certainly doesn’t teach people healthy eating.

Lowered_lifted ,

Obesity itself is poorly defined and the understanding of it has been determined by diet culture fads that affect the directions nutritional science goes, in a co-production feedback loop. Medicalizing adiposity is fraught with socioeconomic issues. Best to let people live and wear what they like.

MadMenace ,

On one hand, low rise jeans were a result of the beauty ideal at the time being “heroin chic,” which was undoubtedly harmful and caused many to develop eating disorders.

On the other hand, high waisted jeans are a result of the beauty ideal now being Kim Kardashian, which is still harmful (ask all the women out there with botched Brazilian butt lifts), not the least because the Kardashians lie about their bodies being natural so they can shill useless products.

Although having a small waist is still ideal, I’m glad the window has shifted back from the time when celebrities were slammed in every magazine as fat for looking like this.

Rachelhazideas ,

As someone who has PCOS belly the opposite is true. High waisted jeans are a nightmare to wear with the bloating and extra abdominal fat.

candybrie ,

The bloating creates a different challenge from being overweight. If your waist fluctuates throughout the day, high waisted jeans become pretty uncomfortable. I’m overweight and don’t really deal with any bloating and find high waisted jeans more flattering than low-rise jeans; they also stay on better.

Rachelhazideas ,

It’s both. I have PCOS which causes insulin resistance which leads to obesity. Separately from that, I also experience bloating as a result.

JustAManOnAToilet ,

Hmm, I think the key lies in your username. Replace corn syrup with hot sauce. You can still subsidize farmers, just have them growing Carolina Reapers instead of field corn.

No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.

The thing is, ownership of any of these can change at any time. Bitwarden, Mullvad, and Tutanota could be sold to very different owners.

That is up to and including something like uBlock Origin, which only has one developer, and would suddenly be very different if that developer died and the project had to be forked.

You can never trust that the person who takes on the reigns has the same ideals as the people running them now.

Hell, Mullvad was abused to the point they removed access to Port Forwarding on their VPN service, which has led to many people needing to switch to crummier, shadier VPNs that still offer port forwarding access. That’s not Mullvad’s fault, but it is an example of them having to change their philosophy and what they offer because of abuse.

Trust should only go so far, and loss of trust should be very easy. There’s not a good reason to keep “trusting” something when it has fundamentally changed from its initial ideals.

Could you explain what happened?

dingus ,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

As clear as I can make it out, it seems like it was related to a search warrant that was executed on Mullvad.

mullvad.net/…/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search…

Because just a little over a month after the news of the failed raid, there was news of them removing port forwarding.

mullvad.net/…/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-…

Emphasis mine.

Unfortunately port forwarding also allows avenues for abuse, which in some cases can result in a far worse experience for the majority of our users. Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.

The result is that it affects the majority of our users negatively, because they cannot use our service without having services being blocked.

The abuse vector of port forwarding has caught up with us, and today we announce the discontinuation of support for port forwarding. This means that if you are a user of forwarded ports, you will not be able to add or modify the ports you have in use.

apt_install_coffee ,

They made a smart call that has probably increased the long term privacy of their users.

People were using port forwarding to host illegal shit, and governments were getting pissed off about it. Mullvad has been able to prove in court that they don’t keep logs, but that’s not a perfect deterrent; a properly motivated government, perhaps if somebody is using Mullvad to host CSAM, might attempt to legally force Mullvad to put logging in and add anti-canary clauses.

Preventing port forwarding keeps customers as consumers rather than hosters, and avoids this issue.

I used to use proton until I saw them give info for a warrant. After that I gave up on the VPN thing. If I lived in a country with limited streaming options I might use them but shrug-outta-hecks

Galli ,

This is true and people should always be mindful of this. Additionally you should consider not just the ownership of the companies but also the infrastructure they rely on such as their rented servers, payment processors, on-site staff etc. However commercial VPNs remain a convenient compromise for many use cases. These services are probably fine for your shitposing needs but should not be relied upon for activism for instance.

Cliffjumper ,

Still can’t bring myself to use proton pass. I’ll be much happier when proton drive better integrates with desktop machines as well but calendar, VPN, email and the bonus simplelogin premium are way too useful.

Almace ,
@Almace@kbin.social avatar

You do also kind of put all your eggs in one basket so to speak though. I don't have anything against Proton and the pricing makes sense if you value all their services and pay for Ultimate (though by my estimate, less sense if you are only looking for a smaller handful of services). However, if you go fully into Proton for everything, you're placing your trust into an entire stack of services and it can end up a single point of failure.

retro ,

I trust their privacy claims but if you backup your email and calendar you can just as easily move elsewhere if Proton does go down. Having only one provider can make things a lot easier to manage.

The point is that Proton offers good service at a reasonable price, and for me that’s it, that’s perfectly fine

I haven’t eaten breakfast in a decade and feel great with tons of energy. You actually don’t need that shit at all.

atomdmac ,

I can’t be sure but I have a feeling that you and I have different bodies because I can’t cope without breakfast.

Malfeasant ,

I thought like you at one time… I’d eat a bowl of cereal and be starving by 10:00, but I’ve been skipping breakfast for almost a year now, and the weird thing is I’m no more hungry at 10 than I was with breakfast - so if it’s not staving off the hunger, what’s the point? And I’ve lost a little weight too.

Vulpecula ,

I have the exact story. If i eat breakfast I feel I’ll starve by lunch. Now no late dinners and breakfast and I’m not even that hungry by lunch. Lost 20 kilos of lockdown bulk as well and my body wants to stay around 74 which is good enough for me.

The best part is I get to eat what I want and how much I want for two meals with no care whatsoever.

Tutanota is German, which is part of the 14 eyes global surveillance network. I prefer my Switz Protonmail better.

SmoothSurfer ,

Europol requested it. Even though you think your service is not under 14 eyes there still is gonna be many other problems.

You can always find problems with the service itself.

Fazoo , (edited )
@Fazoo@lemmy.ml avatar

And that proves what exactly? Swiss law required them to hand over an IP address. Swiss ptivacy is not absolute. They have laws. An IP address didn’t grant them access to the encrypted emails. Proton openly admits they had no idea who the user was. The activist should have used a VPN, which Proton also offers as a service, and then whatever activity trail they linked to the IP would have died at Proton’s VPN network.

Protonmail then went to court, and got the law changed so it doesn’t happen again reuters.com/…/proton-wins-swiss-court-appeal-over…

legios ,
@legios@aussie.zone avatar

I self-host (postfix and dovecot) and will admit of all the self-hosted stuff I have it’s the most annoying/time-consuming to manage but doable if you’re willing to spend a lot of time reading and updating things. I wouldn’t recommend it to the vast majority of people though.

IzyaKatzmann ,

I read some horror stories about folks who self-hosted for years and how they eventually quit and moved to an established email provider. It didn’t seem like something I wanted to deal with.

Do you think using one of those federated email networks where it’s invite only and between people you know would have any appreciable use cases in conjunction with an established provider? I can think of having a small org use it maybe but not between friends or family.

Five and eleven eyes doesn’t matter if the service is encrypted and open sourced. Also, did you know that Switzerland has no superior privacy laws comparing to Germany? It’s all marketing bluff.
