Simplex is pretty nice, but to me XMPP already does all that you described, and metadata isn’t that important to me. Plus XMPP has better clients for mobile and desktop

Didn’t both franchises had the same birthday

Good point

Indies is where it’s at

Things I agree with:

• fuck Israel

Things I disagree with:

• Israel has amassed such an arsenal, it can continue this shit on it’s own for a good while. An arms embargo would still be appropriate though
• Voters are demanding a cease fire and have been for a long time. No one is scared. A lot of people have enough national problems to worry about, that they put first
• it’s carte blanche, carte is feminine

Why? What does FairMail do better? The headline says it’s privacy oriented, but so is k-9.

PostmarketOS

How do you dl them? yt-dlp is asking to pass credentials as well.

Useless??? Ever since the pandemic and the need for a robust remote work infrastructure, the amount of cybersecurity related job offers has exploded. And they’re very well paid where I live.

It speaks volumes about humanity, that the solution to climate change is fucking around with nature, fully knowing, that fucking around with nature is the root cause of the issues to begin with

The bikes would still be shipped from india because it’s cheaper. So the OPs question stays the same. Would you be willing to buy a bike that’s 3 times the price because it’s been built locally. Statistics show that most people wouldn’t. So no, most people wouldn’t change their lifestyle to combat climate change. Should they? Obviously, since living a modest life is better than burning alive or drowning. Although in all fairness, people might be more willing to spend money to combat climate change if corpocrats wouldn’t be gobbling up every bit of wealth like fucking ghouls.

I’ve seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

I’m not okay with people lying, why would that be different for AI?

I’m convinced it’s an economic issue. The oligarchs are canibalizing society as we know it and it’s reaching an inevitable tipping point. And the story line that always tracks in a situation of economic unrest, is that brown people are fucking stuff up.

I find this site useful to compare messengers. I would trust Wire a tad more because it’s hosted in a country with stronger GDPR regulation, vs Signal being hosted in the US.

For my needs, XMPP with Omemo has been unbeatable for a long time

The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.

Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced “Gah-nome”, or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way

Passkeys are a great option for people that don’t wanna deal with managing their passwords and have some else do it for them. That’s not everyone though, some prefer staying in control, so it should always stay optional.

In the mean time UK and Germany have agreed to send more torpedoes so that Israel can protect its naval borders from further incursions

Meanwhile the US has approved 3.5 Billion “aid” to a genocidal apartheid dictatorship
