False equivalency and a fascist talking point

Nice! I want to build a rack too but want to fit a regular ATX board to fit older / cheaper hardware. So it has to be at least 304mm wide, probably 400mm

Hey, next time you go to a protest just glue your government ID card to your forehead. See how secure that feels lol

Obviously not. Think about supply and demand. Because a toxic product is being hailed as secure there isn’t enough demand for an actually anonymous and private messenger. So calling signal “secure” is just helping state security.

If you actually want to message about revolutionary (illegal, “terrorist”) activity and don’t want to be traced immediately by an agent of state security or an informant, Signal offers nothing (unless you use criminal activity like identity theft). In such a case a warrant will obviously be granted and they can immediately find and arrest you.

Can you see the logic how Signal isn’t secure at all for an actual dissident?

Just let it happen

Thanks. I’d already be happy with updating/mutable v2 torrents for browsing static websites via hashkey.

A regular captain of industry for whom the automatic searchers of his zero-privacy messenger is one step too far lol

There can be no security without privacy and a central server that can be extorted. But keep lying if you like.

plans in the EU to allow messengers to have backdoors to enable automatic searches for criminal content

Try to think a bit before you post

Signal is considered one of the most secure messengers.

I mean lol, they require a phone number to sign up, which you can only get with an ID in many countries. You chat with a gestapo officer and they know where you life.

Signal IS GARBAGE. Fucking garbage article, gaslighting bullshit. Fuck this timeline. Honestly this article is fucking terrorism.

What the fuck is a DIDs?

8 / 28. Just barely above random answers lol

Tell me. What should the a country/alliance do to prevent an attack of Russia?

Obviously the same thing you’d do if you grew up in a house right next to the hideout of a violent criminal gang. First you loudly tell him what’s what and that you won’t bow down to barbarism. You criticize him and his goons for his thuggish language they are using and protest in front of their lawn. At night you shit on his lawn. Then you loudly proclaim you’ll soon join an opposing gang and then he’ll have it! What’s he gonna do?

Really, this is principle ethics 101. Utilitarianism is for pussies! Confrontation and war is always and the only answer if your beset by barbarism! One more nuke! One more nuke!

That is politically correct: Since there is nothing at all we have done to bring about this war, there is also nothing we could do to prevent more war, or stop the war. Therefor we must embrace war. We might not want total war, but we say yes to total war. Never again!

Rule 3? This is just opinion / propaganda by someone with a vested interest to fan flames.

How does google plan to enforce this? Will they disable side-loading for any app that isn’t registered with google?

What matters is scalability and how much material and cost you need to produce per energy unit. Kites (either parasails or fixed wing) are much simpler, can be scaled up too, and you only need a simple cable that pulls the generator’s winch. Overall kites seem much more efficient to scale up.

Don’t worry about the AI companies, they can afford it and then make a profit (eventually).

Worry about the open source AI models that you can run locally using solar panels. They will become defacto illegal piracy. Affordable hardware to run large models without too much power is finally appearing (Ryzen AI max), but the software will become proprietary intellectual property of those who own the world. Which is the worst case scenario.

Yeah public broadcasting is under attack because of advertising. Advertising fuels private broadcasting and it’s in their owner’s interest to push anti public broadcasting propaganda.

Any system humans design to serve us as a society will over time become “min maxed” by people or institutions seeking to maximize their profit or gain more power or maintain power in the face of changes. Advertising is a primary vector how those with the most economic power can influence society without people even realizing it. And everything is political.

For example take the ratings and something like yellow pages and announcements for new businesses like a plumber - needing to invest additional capital in advertising has an effect too. It makes it so new businesses are more indentures, more like wage slavery, than if no advertising existed at all. Obviously no advertising at all would favor seniority. But we have advanced in technology since we designed our government systems - there should be an independent “forth estate” or fifth or something for economics and regulation. They could be independently voted on to the executive or legislative. And their job would be to deal with regulation in the public’s interest, and sponsor things like an independent ratings portal that is moderated, and force shops like amazon to use the independent ratings for the products and the vendors. It will stay a struggle to stay ahead of people trying to abuse the system for gain, but right now we pretend the tools we have right now are somehow god given. We Europeans are far more conservative than we like to think.

If we want to have any resiliency against what is coming (because we destroyed our planet and let wealth inequality spiral and social media is nearly completely controlled by plutocrats) we need to push for better tools to govern democratically. And advertising is a major obstacle because it allows unmitigated influence of those who own the world.

TLDR: We don’t *have to * screw over new plumbers, but we should do it if we had to because stopping the brainwashing is more important.
