I did not say that the author is clueless, I just don’t see how you can expect fast development in a capitalist world when they don’t really sell anything
Don’t get me wrong, I am frustrated about slow progress as well, but I have the opinion, that only whining about it does not make it better
If you are not happy with the speed of progress, “just” get a team, fork it, and do it yourself
Article was way to long, so I only skimmed it
Things don’t remain as they are if other services are not encrypted anymore (or have backdoors)
It is just people who are inpatient and think that a company offering FOSS software has as much resources as a company offering proprietary data collection services which they can sell

Fair argument, which I agree on 😇

If they force matrix to insert a backdoor, I just use a fork without it.
If they force my Linux distributor to add a backdoor, I just use a fork without it.
If they force a backdoor in iOS and Android, I use a fork of open source android or mainline linux for phones, without it.
If they want to hang me because I do such things, I riot.
Time to use matrix, I guess
This meeds to be put on a large sheet and be put on any large building we find, in my opinion. People need to wake the fuck up. There are easy solutions! We don’t have to force our beliefs onto our neighbours.
Not only countries have right to be sovereign, this counts for families as well. Family should be able to decide their rules on their own and rise their children how they want, in my opinion.
Of course, a kid should be told somehow, how to get help, if their parameters are monsters.
☺️so cute
