Good try, but I don’t read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.

Thanks for reminding me! I installed an arch chroot so I can learn and play with Arch btw.

Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn’t actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can’t trademark words that are in the dictionary like “hoard” or “hoarder”, since by definition they have prior art.

Why wait? Debian is out there.

I don’t want AI slop from big corpo and you think I am gonna want AI slop that’s just as wasteful and harmful just because it’s “locally produced”? That’s Republican-ish crap line of thought.

One good quote from Marvel’s What If:

I already saw the killer robot precrime bureau movie, and I don’t think it needs a sequel.

Signal is OK as a beginner privacy tool. Like with all gateway drugs or gateway animes or gateway videogames, you gotta start somewhere.

But it does is certainly a platform at-risk. Storage is US-centered, connectivity can be cut at any moment, and it’s quite centralized to the point of forbidding 3p clients from interacting with the main Signal “network”.

I come from the 90s. XMPP / Jabber is so much better.

Not a bad idea. I’ll try to crosspost that news a few times later during the weekend to help build the bad behaviour portfolio.

Well, you’ll need dopamine and serotonin for all the new product spam mails you can get!

but isn’t one of the job of the police supposed to actually check people’s ID?

Define “people’s”, because not doing so is how we get into a police state and that was some Germany shit. Everyone? A subset at random? A subset at convenience? A subset based on how brown they look?

It seems they don’t care.

Then get that in writing.

Or with cooperatives. Cooperatives are a good alternative to corporations.

The entire point of the fediverse is to federate. Not federating by default kills discoverability and the potential for discoverability among other things

Matrix

I hope you mean XMPP / Jabber? Matrix is as open and chatty as Trump is when servicing Musk.

They didn’t drop them because of money costs, where did you get such a statement?

In any event they didn’t really have much of a choice, even if they dropped the ball by not simply resurfacing the old SMS product they did and do have. Having SMS and have people assume it was private because it was on Signal had already caused various issues, of the kind that causes bad mouth-to-mouth for your service. Signal’s response, while adequate, was also lazy.

If anything they have human rights. There’s also the minimum set of implicit rights that are prerequisite for the concept of eg.: allowing foreigners to request asylum. Now if your country didn’t sign in those conventions, that’s a whole ¿nother horde of issues.

Oh, do cry me a river while you’re at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general or memes room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days…).

Don’t they have universal unlocks for suitcases? They can just take a phone / laptop out, disassemble it quickly to clone the hard drive (or sometimes not even that, just power it on and use any of the various Israeli exploits they’ve bought) and presto, you can go on your merry way.

In their eyes, foreigners don’t have rights.

So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.

Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?
