Totally my thoughts. I get shoved twice a week just walking around in town.

You forgot *affect 😉

Also “literally” was meant as a double entendre, since we’re speaking about words and that term is so often abused.

In a day and age where the people are growing a part from they’re own language, your asking alot of them. I guess it literally doesn’t effect them much…

Wild idea: in certain situations corporate institutions are legally handled as individuals. Climate change and it’s effects have been scientifically and undeniably linked to hightened CO2 emissions. We have stats that corporations are the root cause for like 70% of those emissions. On those grounds, shouldn’t it be possible for insurance companies, that have to pay a good chunk of those damages, to go after the main guilty parties? Let the corpos battle it out.

Simplex is pretty nice, but to me XMPP already does all that you described, and metadata isn’t that important to me. Plus XMPP has better clients for mobile and desktop

The official process was a pain anyway, as it required sending personal identification data to China. Anyone that wants a custom ROM on their phone should be looking elsewhere, although I don’t know of any brand that makes that process easy anymore

Even if I was a bazillionaire, I’d still be pirating Sony games out of principle

Didn’t both franchises had the same birthday

Good point

Indies is where it’s at

Things I agree with:

• fuck Israel

Things I disagree with:

• Israel has amassed such an arsenal, it can continue this shit on it’s own for a good while. An arms embargo would still be appropriate though
• Voters are demanding a cease fire and have been for a long time. No one is scared. A lot of people have enough national problems to worry about, that they put first
• it’s carte blanche, carte is feminine

How do you dl them? yt-dlp is asking to pass credentials as well.

That’s just trading hurricanes with wildfires

It speaks volumes about humanity, that the solution to climate change is fucking around with nature, fully knowing, that fucking around with nature is the root cause of the issues to begin with

I’m convinced it’s an economic issue. The oligarchs are canibalizing society as we know it and it’s reaching an inevitable tipping point. And the story line that always tracks in a situation of economic unrest, is that brown people are fucking stuff up.

because of the heavy Palestinian death toll in Gaza.

Because of the genocide in Gaza. You can call it like it is. The UN already said it’s genocide. That’s why Bibi is a wanted criminal according to the international court of justice. Because of the genocide. That the US, again, is deciding to support with weapons. Fucking disgraceful…

I find this site useful to compare messengers. I would trust Wire a tad more because it’s hosted in a country with stronger GDPR regulation, vs Signal being hosted in the US.

For my needs, XMPP with Omemo has been unbeatable for a long time

The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.

Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced “Gah-nome”, or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way
