Yes, I am encouraging people to donate to Signal because I prefer it. Why would I be soliciting donations for something I don't favor? If you want to contribute to something else go right ahead, but this is a thread about Signal's

I'm not suggesting every chat service get donations. I'm only giving to Signal, the rest of the chat services I have to use get 0. I'm donating more than my costs deliberately because I fully understand that most users are no

Great, you go ahead and get all your friends in family using Matrix. I'll join you there when all that is sorted out and it's practical to get my lawyers and doctors and accountants and friends and family onboard. Until then, we&#

Right, I totally hate being able to text, voice, video, send files, and screen share with individuals or groups of people, including half my contacts who use iPhone. Also, fuck them for making all of it sync to all my computers. And I espec

> That's $338k/head on average. Oh come on. Just because the organization is non-profit, meaning that it's not out to make a profit for shareholders, is no justification for the staff to be paid below their market worth. I

Seriously consider setting up a recurring donation if you prefer Signal. They have delivered consistently over the years. I set the $20/month back when they introduced the option. I'm curious what the breakdown of donations is. I

I've never had an SSD that just stopped allowing writes and returns an error. Instead it gets slower and slower until at some point attempting to write anything will just block forever. The process trying will be stuck in the I/O

Yes I have seen this. The disk write speed randomly gets super slow and tons of stuff just locks up at random as many many programs assume it'll be fine to do little writes synchronously. The whole machine becomes totally unusable. I s

That's true. We might see liability arising from recklessly spreading fakes, similar to the liability of creating a hazard that hurts someone. Like, there's nothing wrong with having a fake bomb, but if you leave it in an airport

Let me address that. I do agree with you that there is a difference, but the context matters. In this case, Johnny is making these fakes with the faces of a bunch of the girls at school. Everyone knows they are fake. So in this sense, they

It's not the same for women and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. Nudes of a women do real damage to her. Her social standing is actually lowered as a result. She will even suffer again in the future if the material becomes known to

I don't understand the logic of this. Belle speaks as if it is actually a nude photo of herself. Doesn't she understand that it's not?

I'm not worried about the fact that purchasing a lambo will attract attention, including from the tax department, but I think we should be able to pay the rent for modest accommodation, hire taxis/car service, buy food and clothes

Wait, which are the smart ones and which are the dumb ones again?

> Trust me, your cash usage is far more trackable than you think it is. It is harder than credit, to be sure. Still surprisingly trackable. Are you serious? Okay, how would you figure out what a person purchased at a store 3 years ago on

This is how we can all expect to be treated in a cashless society.

The solution is simple: do not try to limit money laundering at any cost. Monitoring all financial transactions is unacceptable.

Is this enabled by default? It was already disabled for me and I don't remember if I did or not. Checking the device of another person close to me and found it already disabled there too.

I recently created a Mozilla account to sync some bookmarks off my old phone. The service is frustratingly amateur. They spam you with a series of emails even when you unsubscribe and the syncing items, which are just URLs, is extremely slo

Sanctions are are easy now, help now, and easily justified in the short term, but they bring a serious and destructive cost in that their maintenance relies on oppressive surveillance. This is detrimental to the value of the currency and pa

That sucks. At least when Postman pushed this enshittification on its users it gave at least a couple of weeks warning before it happened.

I don't know, what would be a better solution to catching criminals generally than installing police controlled cameras in everyone's houses? What is the difference between that and demanding to read all our correspondence?

I think it's just a financial decision. If enough people were highly offended by the purveyors of kitten videos that ad buyers wouldn't want to be associated with that they'd demonitize all of those too. Kitten lovers will wa

I don't think it does. Not judging him either way, but YouTube is selling ads. Advertisers generally don't want to buy ads on anything controversial. So YouTube stops the flow of ads shown on his videos. That's it. He can sti
