This is so cute.
I live in country that has plateaued for the last 2 decades.

I once was in a lunch group where one of the people honestly asked the restaurant staff about wifi, standing almost next to this sign. The guy smugly pointed at the sign and said nothing.
It was cringy for everyone involved.

When what you think you have learned is not the truth, probably.

People are in their bubbles. People who say that woke is bad are shit. People who say that woke is great are shit. The concept is being used for good and bad for cynically manipulating people to be at each others’ throats all the time because that’s how fucked up shit companies make amazing amounts of money these days apparently.

They are fully capable of extracting profile data from you even if you’re in incognito/private mode. And it doesn’t matter what browser you are using.

What do you mean, “no further replies”?
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 3 weeks ago:
Does that imply that we should avoid getting people everything they need?

So why is Vladimir Putin not in Hague?

remotely
hah!

They obviously have way more than zero qualms about killing innocent civilians. Gaza would look a lot different if they did not.

Unprovoked? Really?
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 3 weeks ago:
They’re an Islamic Republic. That puts a certain kind of upper limit to their intelligence.

That blog post was my reason to double down on Matrix.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 3 weeks ago:
That’s a poor reason. F-Droid is a potential security catastrophe.
You can find Molly from Accrescent, which is not so much a security catastrophe.

And would have FOSS implementations of reference server & client + an openly specified protocol.
Like Matrix.

Yes, unfortunately that is the current reality. Note also the subtle hints this article points to: if you disagree with any of the tenents of our clique, you’re borderline evil. In this case, Matrix uses capitalism as a tool, which implies it is evil.

With a bit of green pesto and chianti.
- Comment on matrix is cooked 4 weeks ago:
Yeah… well, it seems to me that Matrix is potentially there. I mean I could install Element X on my parents’ phones, set it up with some account and be done with it. It would be as good as signal and whatsapp from an UX perspective. And I could then chat with them with any of the existing dozens of Matrix clients.

Well… Matrix. I don’t think it requires self-hosting? It’s E2EE and there are plenty of public servers.

I wouldn’t trust encryption made by anti-vaxer
My understanding of encryption is that the point is that you don’t have to trust the people doing it. You just have to trust the security researchers that proved that the algorithms/protocols work.
Also, my understanding of people is that what they look like right now, today, is no evidence for what kind of people they really are.

Ah, too bad. That was perhaps too much to ask.

Although I don’t oppose judging people because of their views, I wonder if software written by such people should be.

I like the concept of delta.chat the most. Anyone here use it? Any reason why it hasn’t caught on?
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 4 weeks ago:
It would take hundreds of millions of dollars to make Matrix as shit as Discord is.
