I like to judge people by their own standards, making sure to apply their own ideology to them. This is why I’m perfectly fine with fascists getting shot, or conservatives going hungry or without medical care, or bullies being beat up, or bigots being ostracized. It’s all tragic… But it’s what they wish for, so I’ll celebrate for them.
I find it useful to crack jokes like that when in rough places; the half-kidding kind, even just to myself. It depends because everyone’s different. Never a bad idea to take a moment and question it occasionally though…
It’s gonna get way worse…
I was getting tired of all the bad news
Computer silicon and transformer models
Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it’s pretty fucking wild.
Ah yes, defence pacts; well known for their violent expansionism… Like invading sovereign countries, killing their civilians, stealing their children, and holding their land. NATO is evil.
…wait
Implies they weren’t previous? Lol
“Blue no matter who” UNLESS they’re even slightly against the status quo… Complicit traitors.
“I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal, and I don’t want to promote something that is against our president’s laws, as well as against my own religious beliefs”
The kids are not alright
AFAIK, nope. There are several personal projects which modify Signal to work on private infrastructure rather than use signal’s centralized service, but nothing intended for public consumption or at least not that I’ve heard of. Maybe search it.
Signal is good enough and has been pushing for more mainstream appeal and polish (e.g. gif search) Its Achilles heel and main drawbacks stem from it’s centralization: needing a phone number and routing thru Signal’s infra. But that can also benefits them in some ways. Most devs who would be tempted to change that would rather spend their time elsewhere: tox, matrix, i2p, tor, xmpp and irc shenanigans, etc. Signal is just hydrated, in its lane, unbothered; chugging along as its LLC dictates. No alarms, no fires, no compelling reason to do a hard fork.
Edit: it completely slipped my mind that Molly exists. So yeah there’s that. But they still use signal’s infra.
“I hate the gays so much I could fuck one”
AGPL iirc. it can be forked and run independently or modified into a decentralized federation model. So doesn’t really matter if they cave.
It was attacked because it was critical to Ukraine’s neighval warfare
It puts the democrats on its skin or else it gets the MAGAts again. Harm reduction is the name of the game. If you want change, you need to start local and build parallel power structures like community support networks
It’s a war crime to wear certain insignias or flags, or to falsely surrender or feign injury for the purpose of ambush… But really, what’s he supposed to do: “oh, sorry, this was a misunderstanding; please shoot me”? They’re in a defensive and illegal war against a belligerent that flagrantly disregards human rights and international law… Two wrongs don’t make a right or whatever but this is like a clerical error versus organized crime
A new vulnerability in a TP-Link device? Oh no, it must be a day ending in Y
Not the literal meaning of spiritual, but yes absolutely. I try not to be apathetic but I’ve been more or less beaten into it; so the least I can do is be selective.
