...as opposed to walking over to their cube, standing behind them for a few seconds staring at their screen before they realize you're behind them, and then interrupting their work by asking your question?
I am arguably a leftist, but probably not an authoritarian. I am all for privacy. In fact, one could argue that Proton could have gone further in basic system architecture to provide that than they seem to have to.
But, the flip side of that is that the more complicated you make your tech stack, the longer it takes to getting it running, and to fix it when it inevitably breaks.
On the other hand, they seem to have recommended using a VPN to access them, if you were concerned about IP metadata being disclosed.
On the gripping hand, they were also served with a subpoena, and depending on exactly how it was formulated, it may well have been no scope to fight the subpoena in court, and as I think that "follow the law" is generally a good thing, I think that on the balance Proton may be culpable of negligence, but not actual malice here.
Both of these are equally important. Diet and exercise are 2 sides of the same coin. This is why they are usually mentioned together using a conjunction when one gives health advice.
Exercise has direct impact on inflammation markers (initially increases them, but suppresses them over longer timescales), and also helps substantially with nutrient uptake + digestion. You may also find that you crave healthier food options immediately after having just completed an arduous workout.
In my experience, the best approach for keeping inflammation under control and generally being in the best mental state possible is to exercise every morning while fasted, and then eat 1 big meal sometime in the afternoon. This approach ensures your body experiences a shift in metabolic modes on a daily basis, and makes it a much more seamless experience as you shift between them (assuming you stay consistent). I feel that being in a ketogenic state (i.e. right after you complete your fasted exercise session and before you eat your big meal) yields countless health benefits. And, if you can essentially guarantee that you experience this mode for 4+ hours every day, whatever benefits it may confer should be substantially realized.
Unfortunately, that's really true. I have a doctor friend that looked at me like a deer in headlights when I asked about fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, food sensitivities, etc..
You know of 0 species that would strongly disagree, because those several million species don't have the capacity to agree or disagree on whether "wiping out humanity is a bad thing". And you don't speak for them, no matter how much caring about the planet you think you're doing.
I absolutely speak for them, who else will ? Clearly not people like you. I have the capacity to speak for them and so I do. And I will be the only judge about how much "caring" I do or don't do.
