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

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

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.

It’s time for you guys to decide whether you want direct war with Russia or not. Imagining that they aren’t ready for it, and this is just a diversion, is seriously risky. I’m nervous with how Europeans are getting bolder the more Ukraine fails to fulfil its military objectives. Nobody is doing more than doubling down on political narratives that were dry in 2022.

What’s communism?

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.

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.

Every day I wish for the ability to go back in time to stop the release of that idiotic movie Wag thr Dog. This is not a cohesive explanation. It’s clear he will face no consequences for being a child rapist. Which should make sense considering he is overseeing the largest modern day rape and genocide opetation possible, why would his hogs draw a line there?

You follow my reasoning here? There’s so much more to what producrs the jingoistic US leadership ideology than accomplishing petty personal goals. The US lives off of predating on poor countries like this, and their development is a fundamental threat to its way of life.

I’m just not convinced they can restrain themselves.

The president cannot break the law. That would be illegal.

How do you imagine Machado feels about those fisherman? Did you even bother to research her stance?

They might as well give an award to Trump’s war on Venezuela itself. That is all she represents. Nobody in this thread cares about what she wants for Venezuelans. She represents hatred and the resurgent Monroe Doctrine.

This lady never worked a day in her life! How can she deserve anything?

No argument, kitten?

Because it’s not shiny and new? I think the simple stuff works great with the shiny stuff. Command line tools are great for weaving in NTFY pings to our fancy pocket communicators with all kinds of information.
