Thx a lot. I did not about this movie. What I've watched so far sure makes it a compelling one to watch.

One good way to answer your question is to ask the exact opposite question: why wouldn't they deserve decent funeral?

How would it help anyone to refuse decent funerals to a dead body? No matter their crime, the 'real bad guy' is now dead and is no more. It's a body not a person anymore.

And then, one may want to consider this question: why would anyone want to punish innocent people (the family of the 'real bad guy' has committed no crime, right?) by refusing them the right to pay respect to the deceased? And if it is somehow right to punish the family for crimes they have not committed, have they been (secretly and silently) trialed? By whom and for what crime exactly? And who was their defendant?

One may also want to question their desire to hate so much on a person as to hate their corpse and then, once again, to apply their hate onto innocent people, aka the family of the 'real bad guy'.

Check your mp ;)

This is the answer.

I beg to disagree. The answer is 42. The real issue being: to what question? :p

They have a lifetime account promotion going on now, worth getting?

Depends how you look at it.

What I can tell is that I already had their smaller lifetime and waited for that promo to get a larger one.

That plan is worth a little over 3 years sub... As a comparison, the previous cloud service I used (iCloud) I have been using it for a long time... since it was introduced (was it called MobileMe already, or was there another name before that? Can't recall). So, provided Filen does not go bankrupt, I worry not I will get my money worth after those 3 years. Seriously, though, Keep in mind that Filen is a very small and very young company and, unlike Apple, there is possibility the company won't last.

It's a risk I'm willing to take as it really was the closest to what I would call my 'perfect' cloud. Not quite there yet, but close enough for me to use it and closer than any other including Proton Drive, which I'm already paying for (I use their Mail+ plan, which comes with some cloud storage)

Also, note that you can get up to 50GB free storage: 1) by creating your user account using an affiliate link (you may want to check my blog, to use mine) you will get 20GB free instead of the base 10. 2) you then share your own affiliate link to get up to 30GB extra more free. That free storage is then added to whatever plan you decide to purchase and/or to subscribe to, if any. Also, all plans are stackable.

Edit: by all means, take some time to test their free account (there is no real restriction beside storage) so you can see by yourself how well Filen meets your expectations. My needs are really... simple.

Hi,

Just stumbled upon your community and was wondering what you meant by Libre Culture? Is it app/software development related or can it also concern creation, art stuff and, well, culture in general?

Maybe that could be worth a short explanation in the sidebar (to answer another post of yours ;))

Filen.io

It's a cloud much more than a dedicated photo backup solution. So, depending you specific needs it may not fit the bill (it does, for my limited needs).

What makes it great imho is that it's based in Germany and uses zero-knowledge E2EE. It's also available for Mac, Linux, Windows and mobile. And it has either sub-based plans or lifetime ones (BTW, right now they're on sale).

(if you want to know a little more why I picked up Filen and not the others available, feel free to check my blog, link in my profile)

Edit: it can be used as backup tool too, not just as a simple cloud, there is a setting for that.

How about you though?

For many around here the issue will seem perfectly obvious, but I'm worried when I see how often many 'normal' people consider this a non-issue at all, quite the contrary.

I am talking about the destruction of any notion of privacy in the name of always more 'security' and 'convenience'.

edit: added a missing word.

You may regret being in my body, back then. Just sayin'. But who am I to question the choice of a spirit?

Also, do me this favor and tell me to not kiss S....e, at that stupid party. I would very much appreciate. In exchange, I promise to not constantly resist with all my strength to being possessed :P

Thx. Imho, having fun is nothing silly. For me, that would be waking up as Jim Carrey — I am very shy and could never imagine be an actor myself, and I also can't accept that the guy never got an Academy Award, he is such a great comedian :)

Maybe, doing good, you would then learn not to hate yourself :)

Are you sure I can’t eat it? We should test this… for science.

The question then being: would it still be considered science if it's not eaten raw but cooked and, say, accompanied with some wine?
