Arguments why Telegram is not a good idea for anyone

Jump

  • e2ee chats are super annoying. They don't sync between desktop and mobile, so almost nobody will use them,

    Even if I insist they do and create a secret chat, they'll message me back in an unencrypted chat because they changed to their other device.

    This isn't an issue on Wire and Matrix

    • Trudeau: Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry

    Jump

  • Glad to hear they're supporting the side that's been invaded and had land stolen from them in Europe.

    Now please send long-range rockets to Palestine. Palestine has a right to defend itself.

    • I got SWAT'ed and handcuffed live while Linux development streaming!

    Jump

  • Usually swat teams break a lot of your shit, maybe kill a baby, and then leave without arresting you.

    • Can I make a paid app on playstore free on fdroid ?

    Jump

  • Libre is a type of license that makes this legal. Eg GPL or CC SA

    • Small linux-friendly laptop

  • I don't know why we can't squeeze 64 GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD in the same form factor today :(

    • Harris' policy agenda has gaps and ambiguities as she shifts to the center

    Jump

  • She's always been right-of-center. This is a shift further to the right, not towards rbe center.

    • Out of curiosity is there a FOSS (add-free) short form video type social media?

    Jump

  • So twitter needed a thot detector that calculated skin exposed percent, and put that into everyone's feed? Then vine woulda taken off, you reckon?

    • Neither Elon Musk Nor Anybody Else Will Ever Colonize Mars | Defector

    Jump

  • Doesn't colonization require stealing resources from someone else?

    • Another Alberta town is eyeing up banning pride flags and crosswalks | Canada

    Jump

  • But social movements? They stay. I WANT my local, provincial, and federal governments to show support for marginalized groups. That includes our LGBTQ, indigenous, disabled, visible minorities, etc.

    This is how you end up with thin blue line flags and other dog whistle neo Nazi flags hanging at the court house.

    Because, many will argue, the white male is now a minority thats being oppressed...

    • Replace cars with velomobiles

    Jump

  • That's totally different from a velomobile. Did you read the article?

  • The 90s? Nah, it died with Walt Disney

    • Small linux-friendly laptop

    I gave it up due to the processor. I think it only had one core?

    • Replace cars with velomobiles

    Jump

  • But what are the licenses?

    • Are homeless encampments legal in public spaces?

    Jump

  • BC passed a law explicitly making it legal to sleep in a tent in Vancouver like 10 years ago
