When people make a joke about a name in a different language than theirs, based on not being able to pronounce it correctly, is it just stupidity, or stupidity AND racism?
(i guess answer depends on whether or not the different language is spoken by a minority in the space stupid people make that joke?)
Retrospectively, wasn't a lot of the space-exploration-based SciFi from the 50s 60s 70s serving the purpose of justifying massive government spendings in big rockets, mainly used to build ICBMs, to justify imperialist policies and the cold war?
were we (the scifi afficionados) the useful idiots of this missile race?
Simplex.chat is promising, with great privacy/anonymity concepts at its core:
no identifyer like a phone# or an email address needed
little to no metadata transiting by the server
identity management ("incognito" identities generated in one click when joining a group for instance, management of several identities), all database/client-side.
works with any server, through tor by default. different servers used to send/receive messages.
android/ios/linux-tui/linux-desktop/macos/windows versions available
in Haskell, so no node/electron shtf#ckery (just a different shtf#ckery... ;)) )
something you cooked from the bottom of your heart, inspired by that person, improvising with seasonal ingredients, with a touch of crazy zestiness (lime, ginger, chili)? something that would taste delicious and show how inventive and thoughtful you are!
Coming from someone at the helm of a new reactionary movement, that's pretty tasty!
