Maybe they don’t know what a retail investor (hog for slaughter) is but tried to express the same concept

I had never read their forum threads on Fairphone and eOS until the other day. Makes me glad I ruled them out for other reasons.

Aside from touching on people he has a cult and a bunch of other weird shit this guy is no good

The age difference is about 20% smaller if you add 5 years. Development doesn’t happen linearly, though, so the difference is even bigger.

China claims to be a third of the way there. You’re going to need to relax for a bit.

No shit it’s the most obvious beef and dairy psyop ever. Aaaaugh ough the computer says I can only eat butter!!

Nice, I’m gonna try that. I use SingleFile.

Fairphone looks really bad after reading some of the GrapheneOS forum threads covering them. Calyx is still on hiatus over the security patch thing

No but I have eated “soy beans” which are quite delicious. Afterwards I felt a sense of contentedness wash over me.

No, seriously, try and answer it.

Never cared for the way this fellow tries to argue that everything is too difficult to be useful. I’ve gotten plenty of friends and family on XMPP and the clients that don’t have encryption on by default are easy to remember. Really blowing it out of proportion.

Honestly, what do security researchers like this even know about normal people? They sit through all kinds of inconveniences to use Facebook. This is a thought experiment.

Some of these are valid criticisms, of course, a lot of XMPP stuff feels like it from the 2010s. It’s still the only real option. Matrix client or server is bloated garbage, theu moved server fixes into a walled garden, its development is dependent on funding from the USA National Endowment for Democracy technology fund. Signal has similar funding issues and is very shady with its centralization, trust issues, demanding phone numbers. Sets users up to leak all kinds of stuff in notifications like Matrix.

The strange insistence that only Signal meets their requirements makes me skeptical, as does the way they have operated in Github threads. They seem like an emotional nightmare to work with.

What’s communism?

Seeing this shit feels like an advertisement though, in a way.

I’ve seen some of those while out and about. In the first place I have a long gap, often months, between seeing commercials (and thanks to Lemmy for being part of what makes that possible). It feels like they are advertising the high that comes from sleep deprivation. That’s not being locked in, it’s killing yourself.

100% it is aggravating that I cannot make something as simple as a chat relay on the mighty computer. It is the work of depraved individuals

None whatsoever sorry. I got made fun of as a Westoid for mentioning Whatsapp though, apparently the cool kids are on Viber now.

Yeah if you want to use Signal and TG, Molly and AyuGram are a bit better than stock FYI

The entire US economy has been running off of an asset megabubble that demands global dollar recycling via Wall St. and property for decades now. This is much worse than 2008 as there is no cushioning. We will see what 20+ of doubling down looks like in the end.

Usually. I will admit it is usually body or air. Sometimes though

The correct way to eliminate human trafficking and child abuse is capital controls. Bring the fucking bankers to heel. You don’t have the credibility to talk like this while you work hand-in-glove with skinsuits like Jamie Dimon and the coterie of coin operated policymakers that calls itself western democracy. So the intention is not to use credibility, but something much quicker.
