@evelynyap I only watched a little but 1) It's so encouraging seeing people worshiping God in another country and culture :) 2.) I love the global outlook of your pastor 3.) the 'it's not about you' visual is awesome.

@evelynyap I've used protonmail for years so I had a look. Low priority 'to do' so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/b3zu1f/send_with_time_delay/

@evelynyap I've used email encryption to send sensitive documents to non-protonmail users. I use them because it's a free service and encryption and trust is better than gmail (what I was using). I agree send delay doesn't appear to be hard to implement, to be fair not working there I wouldn't know :D

@realcaseyrollins I wish the withdrawal of civilians had been managed before the withdrawal of troops. It's a failure of a duty of care of governments towards there citizens (Australia in my case). https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-16/australians-afghanistan-taliban-threat-government-help/100381738

@realcaseyrollins makes an interesting thought experiment. 1) What should be cared about?2) What is a list of the politicized and inconvenient things that should be ignored.

@realcaseyrollins in Pleroma and Mastodon portrait images get truncated and require the user to click on the post to see it. Landscape gets seen in it's entirety.

@evelyn I don't know how this relates to ebikes. However for a standard bicycle. You want your legs to be doing the same constant amount of work and then adjust the gears to match. The idea being you're doing the same work going up hills as you on flats and that only your speed changes.It would probably be easier for you to ride around the block trying out your gears rather than explain how the from gear and rear gear function. 🙂

@realcaseyrollins @jenny @xianc78 Not hard to imagine really, your economic freedoms took a dip since Obama came into office. Ours improved since we floated our dollar and then elected a Liberal Prime minister Chart of our Freedom Scores over time. https://www.heritage.org/index/visualize?cnts=australia|unitedstates&src=country .You can in more detail United States https://www.heritage.org/index/country/unitedstatesAustralia https://www.heritage.org/index/country/australiaThe democracy index is behind a pay-wall except for this report: https://www.eiu.com/n/campaigns/democracy-index-2020/ .Worth a read. It targets the United States having a flawed democracy due to Functioning of Government, Political Culture and social cohesion collapse. However the following excerpt we can agree on."Across the world in 2020, citizens experienced the biggest rollback of individual freedoms ever undertaken by governments during peacetime (and perhaps even in wartime). The willing surrender of fundamental freedoms by millions of people was perhaps one of the most remarkable occurrences in an extraordinary year (see Democracy: in sickness and in health?, page 14 onwards). Most people concluded, on the basis of the evidence about a new, deadly disease, that preventing a catastrophic loss of life justified a temporary loss of freedom. Many critics of the lockdown approach accepted that some form of social distancing was necessary to contain the spread of the disease, but they failed to put forward convincing alternatives to the policy of enforced lockdowns, and the question of how many deaths would be acceptable as the price of freedom was one that few lockdown sceptics were prepared to answer. That does not mean that governments and media should have censored lockdown sceptics: attempts to curb freedom of expression are antithetical to democratic principles. The withdrawal of civil liberties, attacks on freedom of expression and the failures of democratic accountability that occurred as a result of the pandemic are grave matters. This is why the scores for many questions in the civil liberties category and the functioning of government category of the Democracy Index were downgraded across multiple countries in 2020."
