  • Which one is harder has zero relevance upon how much work Signal has to do to vet the contents transmitted on the channels, which is zero, nil, because they can't. Even if it was Charlie who reported the channel, Signal intentionally has no practical means to verify neither the accused contents nor the authenticity of the report. And this is actually good.

    Infrastructure-wise, Signal (mostly) limits itself to only being a carrier. In a just world, a carrier who has been set up to take the limited responsibility of a carrier is not liable for the contents of carried things that are protected so that the carrier can not peek into. Sure, they can be legally pressed to change that and "upgrade" their lawyer plan to "content vetter", but as far as I know that hasn't happened yet.

  • Maloyse absolutely can:

    • eavesdrop above Alice's shoulder
    • be an evil, militarily dressed maid on Bob Alice's home
    • have remote administrative permissions on Bob's phone
    • ("accidentally") get a full-workspace snapshot of Charlie's desktop while he has the group open in Signal Desktop
    • Sneak around and check the phone while Alice and Donny are having sex
    • Hit Charlie with a $5 wrench
  • ¿Cómo está la gente que tiene gato / perro? Ya los están usando de almohadilla / escaldasono?

  • IANAL and all the other anals, but my understanding is Signal wouldn't be liable and wouldn't have to do anything. They designed their service so they can't know the content of the messages, so if a third party Maloyse (see what I'm doing there?) is reporting a message between Alice and Bob that Maloyse thinks to be illegal, Signal would be within legal grounds to bring into question how did M got that message, and it can't be used as proof against Signal because there is no legal mechanism by which Signal could have acquired that message and act upon it - in fact, Signal has grounds to suspect Maloyse is crafting those messages, since neither Alice nor Bob have reported such message.

  • ¿Qué es lo más al norte de Chile que estas auroras se podrían dar? Digo, como para ver si habrá posibilidad de viajar a verlas.

  • Sin mencionar que ahora enseñan que para "salvar Chile" hay que ir al norte a "violar peruanas".

    No necesito tres intentos para saber qué políticos son los que importan esas ideas en la milicia.

  • Ah yes, I also use cat to input text and passwords!

  • The problem is, I use far more sites than Youtube, and the other filter lists are needed here. AFAIK I haven't been able to find a switch on uBO that makes a site use only a specific set of filters, so if I want good internet experience it has to be the default filters and some more, or nothing.

  • Do note the Violent protesters" and "destructors of property" are the zionist infiltrators, not the antigenocide protesters. But Biden is so old, apparently everyone look the same to him.

  • Someone has to fight that fight, because it is about IA's primary mission as well. And guess what? I don't see you doing it.

  • You have been blessed with the marking of the Provider of Friends. That the cat understands that he can trust to wait around you and then you'll bring a friend for him!

  • At the moment I'm testing Hedgedoc, I took a quickie look at haste-server but from what I read it got enshittified a while ago while I was busy not looking at it lol. Anyway I've looked at other alternatives from the link and from selfhosting communities and both OpenGist and ExBin are looking at the things for me to try next for comparison. Thanks for the guidance!

  • So I'm running a Hedgedoc instance this week to test how things are going. Feels like one of the better choices.

  • It'd be interesting to see this in the courts. Would lemm.ee stand as accused, facilitator, or witness?

  • A nosotros nos bajan a 44 y luego 1 hora por año.

  • Ah yes. Forgejo is the current community fork.
