Norway! Yes, sorry!

Like I said my memory is hazy with the research I did many years ago. I just remember it’s not in the 9 eyes.

The last part was also important. Back then it didn’t even need javascript. I think runbox6 still doesn’t.

Anyway, I like them and I hope they got more users. My only concern is of them going bankrupt. But many years later they are still here.

Good to see another user. I hope there are many of us!

The cheapest option is like 20 dollars a year. I think I have the middle one. Not sure, it’s been on that for years. I’m pretty sure it’s the cheapest privacy oriented one. I tried several since then but I always end up back on runbox.

Server location is Sweden. Which was a major reason for me, outside of 9 eyes (I don’t remember, I researched a lot before getting it but the details are forgotten).

I think they don’t encrypt? Not sure. This was never that important to me. It was more about server location, privacy respecting and open source friendly.

I don’t like their runbox7 though. Luckily it doesn’t seem like they will ever disable runbox6. It’s old school but reliable and fast. Runbox 7 is too full of feature and issues for me. You can easily toggle which email system you’re seeing or loging into.

Oh yeah, and runbox6 is super user friendly. It’s old style with just what you expect. Runbox 7 may be more depending on who you’re asking. It’s not for me, since it’s too many icons and too little text.

Oh, and about trustworthy, it’s more than I thought it could be. Every issue I had was quickly answered by one of the founders, who was super helpful and honest, even where it doesn’t help them. When my domain expire I’m going to let them handle it. I didn’t want to leave all eggs in one basket, but I even told him, they are the only company I would trust with this.

After all interactions I had wit them, they are literally the only company I trust. But that took years.

I’ve been using Runbox for many years and it’s weird i don’t see recommendations.

Blocked in Australia, which is even more expected. I’m amazed Aljazeera isn’t blocked here. Or anything the us and israel doesn’t like.

Eheheh that’s a nice idea. Most places have a switch on the connection on the wall. I just turn that off if I can.

Headphones are not enough. I need to get blind. Or I should just learn to ignore it. I just can’t.

You have such a positive point of view. It’s interesting seeing how different people can be. I would focus obsessively on the part of that money that goes to those fossil fuel billionaires. You are focusing on the part where it goes to community programs.

Though I don’t know where it goes. I just assumed it goes to them, like a big part of my taxes that also go to fund the military.

About activism, I’ve done a fair bit and it affected my life a lot. I’m an old pessimist guy. I just try not to help to make the problem worse now (making sure I don’t fund them as much as I can). These things affect me too much. If I had to pay a fine for the activism I did in the past I could end up doing something really bad like destroying my life or someone else’s. I’m a little too radical and I end up turning people away from my causes because of it. Nowadays I try (and fail) to not even talk about to people because I end up making them hate the cause.

I posted it here because I think most of the community agrees with it. Circlejerk you could say. If it was on reddit it would just lead to endless meaningless fights and abuses.

It’s not activism. It just drives me crazy. I can’t ignore the stuff I’m seeing and i can’t concentrate on anything. If i want to promote some changes that would not be the way to do it. It’s just that’s it’s like someone putting alcohol in my eyes. I have to turn it off or leave. When i can’t i just leave.

I thought that could be him but i didn’t see on wikipedia that he owns channel 9. I heard much about him but I’ve rarely seen his face.

I wouldn’t doubt he is sad. To be that evil you have to have something wrong going on in your brain or life.

So it’s the same channel i see everywhere that makes me want to throw up. I keep changing channel in places i see that on and people change back, like in gyms. People around here actually like to feel their neurons melting. It doesn’t just happen to be the default, it’s what they want to see. They go after it.

I don’t see much hope for this population.

And who’s that guy? He looks like a sad villain. I hope he is very sad. But that might be why he does this. He wants to spread his misery.

22k? Holy shit. I would be so crazy angry. You’re being force to financially reward the people destroying your future. That would eat me up inside even if that amount didn’t hurt.

So they get rich destroying your future and you have to give them more money for it.

You guys are heroes. I couldn’t take that. I’m glad there are people not like me. I would think non stop about a justice I can’t make happen. Like some people’s heads on a guillotine.

Is this sarcasm? Or is the last sentence really something someone could think?

Noooo! I don’t care about Google play. I only use it from fdroid. It’s the most important app on my phone! What will i do now?

I’m not sure if it’s influence of propaganda. I used to be very active against israel and US some 15 years ago. I was sacrificing my life for it and I realized nothing would change but I was hurting myself. 15 years later nothing changed. It didn’t change 15 years before I started either. So a long period of time will mean I won’t live to see it.

I stopped getting involved and tried to just not know about it. The result is the same but I don’t suffer. But living here it’s impossible to ignore and I’m part of the problem. It won’t change, but I’m helping to make it worse here

But yes, I’ll do what you and jaek suggested until I figure out what to do. To me it’s much more important to not help israel than it is to help those they destroy. And that’s the main thing I want to do, not help them.

I’m in a small town, so not much going on here. And while the protests should continue and I’m happy with their numbers, the media actually manage to turn it against the cause and increase the general population support for this kind of atrocity. When I see the news on the tv covering protest I’m afraid, because I know exactly what it will show and I’m always right. They usually don’t even mention what the protest is about and the few people they give voice and the morons they interview are always just talking about how dangerous the protesters are, how “against peace”, how pro terrorists, how they damage the economy and how they will eat your dog and rape your kids. Basically inciting the population to protest against the protesters.

I have never seen such biased and clearly controlled media as here, except for the US. It’s amazing how powerful they are. I know that in most countries they usually just show the israeli side and just “forget” to show the other one. But here it’s a clear propaganda and manipulation. So if anything the average person who doesn’t look for more info will just defend the war point of view more with the protests being shown on tv.

And it shows. Even here, where people are more “leftists” (whatever that means) I see many “fox news” points of view. On reddit it’s a lost cause. And talking to the average people it’s the same. Everyone just knows that “israel is fighting terrorists”.

It’s what I complained about on my other posts regarding the military monuments. It’s a fundamental part of australian culture and I see little hope of that changing. The countries that show some courage against israel have a whole history of not admiring the military and not being dogs of the US that often. Or being muslim based countries.

So I don’t see how that can change any time soon but that doesn’t change that I am being part of the problem being here, and that people are being murdered with my support.

Supporting help for palestinians is good and should happen, like the protests. But that won’t fix anything and will just have to be something that needs to be done forever. Or until there is no Palestine left.

And I am complicit with this, and all the support Australia gives to US and israel by paying my taxes. As some @#$!#$ from the government said when censoring the protests, “Australia is a peace loving country”.

Is there anything I can do other than just leave? I love living here, but this military fetish gives me constant guilt and anxiety of being here because I know I’m supporting that, and who knows how many people were killed using my work, to then later on get a monument erected praising the fact…

Thanks for the info. Though what I wanted to post was asking about the protests, which zero_gravitas answered.

I wish I could do something about people using facebook/instagram… What I can see is very limited. But thanks a lot! From the thumbnails I got the location. I will try to go. The APAN website seems to have better info. I saw that website before but got confused. There are many websites and it’s hard to tell what’s more “official”.

Regarding posting here, I don’t have the energy for that. I learned a lot from the last post, but it’s very exhausting when I have a polemic opinion and I get a bunch of people against me. And like a guy said there, I may just be the problem. Either way with the links you gave me I now know where to look. So thanks again!

Where do you get that info? I’m trying to find but searching online just gives me zionist news like abc and so on. I imagine it’s all on facebook which I don’t use. Even searching on lemmy I only find news about the conflict. I imagine mods don’t allow support for protests, even though I thought lemmy would be the ideal place to post about this.

I thought of making a topic about it but i fear i might just get banned, since my previous post against military wasn’t exactly well received.

Anyway, do you know where it will be?

Yes. And I’m considering that.

Thanks for respectfully disagreeing. Yes, as I said on other post, the term I use is not quite right, but it’s how I see it. I just fundamentally see these things in a different way. What you guys see as mourning I see as celebration. But I do understand the intention.

I believe I will learn to see past it (though for 10 years I haven’t yet). But if I found my objective it would be a nice bonus.

And thanks, it is genuine. I traveled dozens of thousands of km looking for my ideal town, which I still hope to find!
