It DO! Which one am I mixing it up with then? Briar?

“Protect the kids!” - always the first thing they use.

SimpleX doesn’t even have a desktop client. IT DO! Discord is mostly used for gaming.

It says information used for age checks will not be stored by Discord or the verification company.

Bullshit. Every time some bitch-ass company says this, 4-5 years later they’re like “we were hacked, someone took everyone’s photo IDs!”

The moment this is attempted is the moment I’m no longer on discord.

Something is awfully weird here, because Linux literally runs the worlds infrastructure for the internet. It is not unstable by any stretch of the imagination. Something you’re doing between all distros has got to be the culprit - something you do differently than other people.

I (wrongly) assumed that if he was hilarious to have made that graphic, that he’d maybe be more reasonable, hopefully funny. I was disappoint.

It did kick off me spending about 2 hours comparing Signal to SimpleX, and Briar, and a bunch of others, and I can only conclude Signal is the best out of them. The security community seems to be REALLY paranoid about every, single, tiny little thing - but I understand that they must be.

SimpleX doesn’t do any kind of IP address masking or have quantum resistant double ratchet encryption.

Briar doesn’t account for rogue-tor nodes, etc.

There’s just always some big glaring flaw in one of them.

That’s probably the only reason I clicked it. Honestly, kinda regret that I did because the author just seems like a dude yelling at the sky because he’s wildly critical of the smallest things but doesn’t offer up any solutions.

I mean, I haven’t seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There’s a lot of shit I don’t pick up on tho.

Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it’s almost all she’ll watch. She’s had to get used to some of the…cultural differences…that Anime includes, but she’s so used to it now that it barely registers any more.

You probably know fewer than 20 people who live in poverty yet think you know everyone who’s poor?

I’m surrounded by the dumb fucks in a deep red state in the country; nearly everyone I’ve ever interacted with my entire life lives in poverty. The fact that you have a RETIREMENT FUND AT ALL puts you well above that line.

You know what you can’t have when you’re in poverty? Retirement funds. Because it’s considered equity and you’re not allowed to have any in order to get government assistance. The only things exempt from that are your homesteaded house, and 2 cars (and only if both adults in the house are working!)

It’s not very shortsighted, it’s quite long-sighted. Everything has been shit since the 2008 crash. Absolutely dog-shit garbage. Wages haven’t changed, everyone’s already in the hole.

I’d have loved a few more years of floating it, but the writing has been on the wall for some time now. It’s going to suck for everyone, I’m sure - but the market never corrected in 2008. It was going to happen some time or another - I’m just happy Republicans are going to be on the hook for it.

It’s going to take 10 years to come back from this - but I suspect in doing so, we’ll be in a better place in the long term. Last people who did this weren’t re-elected for damn near 20 years. We’ve all said this was the last gasp of a dying political party. It’s gonna suck, sure – but I’m hopeful for the future and the rebound it will cause.

On top of it all, I’ve been using it as leverage to fuck with every Trump voter I see in my shop.

Honestly, we’ve needed this crash since back when Obama was president, and we got a bunch of propped up corporations. They socialized the losses, so to speak.

Nobody I know in poverty is affected by stocks, so fuck them all.

Venezuela has tons of billionaires I bet. It’s not about the number, it’s about the inequality at the tippy top.

Digg is excited about “AI” moderation. So, they’re gonna be going the route of banning users for wrongthink just as Reddit did. I don’t think it’s going to be that popular.

If that’s the case, then why do all security professionals use Signal instead?

We didn’t shift cultural perception at all. We may have enacted laws, but the people aren’t any more or less receptive than they have been. That will take generations. Only thing that happened is that people hid it. Take a good long look at US politics and tell me that gay people and black people are any more accepted than they were…as half the population looks to tear down the institutions which allowed their equality to happen…

You haven’t changed people. Your society hasn’t changed what people are. They’ve only changed what you see from the outside. It’s only people like you, who have never had to live in the dregs of society who have this rosey ideal of the world.

Culture comes and goes. Shifts and ebbs and flows. Humanity may take longer to evolve, but that also means that what has evolved is much more stable, and much more rock solid than ‘civility’ could ever budge. We have higher-order thinking brains, and lower-order feeling brains. The lower-order feeling brain is the one that drives sex, food, hunger, and survival. That tribalistic instinct comes from that lower-order brain, and no amount of education will ever eliminate how it functions. The only way to do that would be eugenics, and the world has decided that is a “bad thing”.
