Encryption makes more sense for small or one on one chats with people you know, the sorts of things people use XMPP for (which has OMEMO: signal style encryption.) In large public chat rooms being able to use a pseudonym is much more import

Yeah when I had an iPhone I was really annoyed I couldn't leave an IRC client in the background. I'm certain I wasn't alone.

Have you read any of the mass shooter manifestos? I haven't seen any that are far right. The closest was the buffalo shooter's but his also had a lot of far left ideas in it and anyone who's truly part of the Right knows that

I used to be on the BSD side about software freedom but the way non-free software has been abused to go after my mind (along with the people around me) has made me a GNU zealot. All of the machines I own (including my phone) run GNU&#x2

Exactly. You don't want to know everything that's ever happened in the history of the channel, there's way too much. Even on Discord the client can't handle it so you won't know anyway.

If only I had a fraction of a Bitcoin for every time someone said "Why IRC and not Google talk? The world is moving on." The world is not moving on, IRC is very much here to stay. It works way too well for this sort of thing and p

1) How many QAnon followers do you know? I know quite a few IRL. 2) Preventing divorce in the first place certainly is.

I think a lot of it is the knowledge of the rest of the body and the ability to adapt when something doesn't go exactly according to plan.

If people dislike the US so much they should leave. Canada is extremely easy to immigrate to, they'll even let you drive up there with a US license and license plates while you're moving, you just need to fill out all the paperw

I really hate having the government involved in regulating this sort of stuff but Apple has brought so much destruction in bad faith it's hard to feel sympathy. They have nearly single-handedly killed open source chat software (people

Because most of the distros you use have the same structure. Just because most distros won't violate this doesn't mean some (Guix for example) won't.

Some of the defaults for systemd can be pretty annoying. Killing tmux when you end your session is something Pop OS still does for example. SysV init kind of sucked but I think OpenRC is legitimately better than SystemD. Each new version of

Everyone grumps about the network transparency but what I dislike about Wayland is: 1) reliance on hardware acceleration which is not always available 2) The every frame being perfect thing (I far prefer having garbage on the screen tempo

No matter which distro you pick the DE is trivial to change; just install a new one and select it the next time you log in. If you want something super light you can even just use a WM like FVWM or CWM. The main criteria for a distro you sh

The same thing that is splitting the US split Rome. It was inevitable since 1965 and the policies from then were probably an inevitable part of people naturally seeking power through coercion.

Syncing clocks is surprisingly difficult. On top of that you have to get the message to all the devices that there even is a timer, this might be delivered after the timer expires. I don't think you could do this in a way where people

We had weekly planning and "triage" meetings too. This was on top of the normal stuff. It wasn't all heads down either. If you finished your tickets before the next planning meeting you could relax, edit the wiki, look for st

From what I hear (I have relatives that own a housing construction company) the cost of labor and materials for housing has gone up ~20% YoY. So I'd expect that's probably near the high end of what inflation really is.
