i have mostly one complaint about nostr (the type codes) but otherwise idk. it seems fine as a screaming in to the void mechanism?

XMPP not too bad its okay. would take a bit of bullshit to make stuff for but eh.

deltachat is whatever. had nobody to chat with. might still play with webxdc.

email i would just change smtp to handle binary files properly. the biggest ass with deltachat is all the fucking overhead through encryption and base64 encoding vs. if we just transmitted binary like we should be doing. dunno what kind of herculean efforts it would take to get binary smtp in the wild.

anyway idk

A leaked order shows the UK demands that Apple provide a backdoor into *all encrypted user data* (including outside the UK) washingtonpost.com/technology/

Proprietary software makes such a demand possible. Reject proprietary software, embrace FOSS and open hardware, while we still can.

@ptiloukstudios Bullying the furry, just like they are morally obligated to do.

Remember. Computer companies think you are massively retarded and cannot think for yourself, therefore you need your OS to act as a nanny.

Microsoft does this.
Apple does this.
This mentality has even infected open source projects, like GNOME or Wayland.

IT people are suffering from an enormous God complex that needs to be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise we all will end up worse and worse every year.

@wowaname Internet and TV can make something bigger than it actually is. Someone might see more trans people online and think that it's spreading like a virus even though it's unlikely that they will encounter an actual trans person the next time they go outside.

Open Source is Anti-Free Speech

The first instinct, in almost every Open Source & Linux organization - From GNOME to Arch, NixOS to openSUSE - is to censor. To mute, delete, and block any who disagree.

@1OO1 @gabriel He said in an interview that he always wanted to escape civilization since his teenage years, but I guess you can argue that could have also been a false memory implanted in him.
