  Are you saying "crassholes" or "assholes"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What If: Signal Was Part of the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed.

  It's a very basic trade that it seems few understand. You MUST trade a bit of convenience to increase your security, or mistakes will happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What If: Signal Was Part of the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recognize you're probably not the original commenter, but this is the same flavor of strawman.

  App is app. Other app is other app.

  In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What If: Signal Was Part of the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't feel that it's me being intentionally dense here because, again, you've concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

  App is app. Other app is other app.

  Appreciate the heads up on session.

  Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you've strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.

  Most people who want it back don't need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.

  Here's the simple facts:

  SMS is not secure, or private.
  Signal is for secure, private comms.[

  As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail](https://signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/), and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.

  No. I already fucked reddit, thanks.

  lemmy.fmhy.ml

  It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.

  The lemmy.ml instance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. I live in one of the "post salary or GTFO" states, and lead with that. Anyone who can't respond with a straight answer isn't worth dealing with and is told why.

  I go through them every couple of days and have a text file with canned responses.

  • Thanks for reaching out. Before we proceed further, will you please provide a full job description, salary range, name of your client, and length of the contract?
  • Sorry - (DETAIL) falls outside/below my current expectations. Have a good day, and good luck!
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Likewise. It has generated several offers for me, but the vast majority of head hunters are playing spray-n-pray with keywords. For every good lead I get, I have to tell 400 people to fuck off.

  Oh.. you're a Sox analyst? Want to work in a sock factory? Want to do the laundry for a minor league baseball team? Want to be in a fetish video?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annoyed by Lemmy links not going to your home instance? I just updated LULs, the script that changes all Lemmy links everywhere to your home instance!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I vaguely recall that they received a takedown notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Famous hacker, Kevin Mitnick passes away at 59⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We all have bad days. Unfortunately his coincided with the only time you saw him. I don't think that makes him an asshole. I think it makes him human.

  You ever call in sick because you're not feeling it? Public figures can't do that because people will call them an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[META] So... about the bots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I would much rather see fewer posts than bot content. A human OP is going to engage in conversation, and is also likely able to provide more context on the topic of their OP.

  I've taken to blocking obvious bots (extremely high post:comment ratio) to keep the same feel as the fediverse had since "rexit".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[META] So... about the bots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  [OT]

  surely they're going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.

  I apparently needed to see this today. Life has been winding me up lately and I have been impatient/quick to dismiss people as a result.

  Thanks for snapping me out of it.
