@abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist 'oppose book worship' always makes me laugh because i think of all those chinese posters from that same era of everyone holding up a little red book, doing literal book workship

mao was kinda cookie

@abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist oh boy, yeah i remember a while back 'eco extremism' was a term, i think there's a lot of post-civ stuff that's salvageable or whatever but it's very easy for primmie or nihilist to get hijacked by fash

i think we have different working definitions of 'populist' , or maybe I am an opportunist, but I think of populism as just free stuff, what's wrong with telling people you will get free housing and food under anarchy? just gimme free stuff, if we tell the people anarchy will get them a free TV they will revolt immediately.

@abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist yeah probably.. wait there's a 'populist' callapsist tendency?

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo oh no i didn't

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo oh wow, thank you, okay so lightdm is installed with openbox but it doesn't auto start, and I can't startx on a non-root user, I can start X and load openbox as root

i've gone thru the trouble shooting steps here https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Non_root_Xorg

and here https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind

elogind is enabled, the user is added to the video group

I'm using openrc

I suspect it's something to do with use flags, i'll get on that laptop and give me you info

god please help me get Xorg working on this gentoo box

@abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist haha, yeah i've seen some of that, of course you can't ever admit that these people have agency, their own reasons for rising up, states are the only actors

there is a risk of going too far in the other direction, downplaying any US fuckery, there always is if you look, and it's more subtle than just paying people to do a thing, liberal NGO's very often have subtle biases towards say neo-liberalism or the West because of how they get funding, seemingly progressive media outlets will often ally with Western Interests etc. but Blumenthol and his toadies make anti-imperialism into a complete joke, indistinguishable from Alex Jones level paranoia.

What it comes down to is you need to have a 'concrete analysis of concrete conditions' like get your information from people in that country who know the history and current situation and have a solid analysis. Not operate with a pre-fabricated 'regime change / color revolution' model and say that's what happens everywhere.

@abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist that people share those clowns is amazing, I like how the US is trying to Neutralize both Chinese and Indian Influence, like these are two big rival powers in Asia, they are both anti-imperialists lmao

those 'color revolution' brainworms fuck up solidarity so bad, and the touch of ableism is great too, yes the zoomers are controlled by the CIA, nothing else to see here, it's just boomer right wing thinking in reverse

@nyx@social.xenofem.me ah yeah good ole php

@nyx@social.xenofem.me right on, can think of a lot of cases like private groups

i'm just glad it's php because my shitty fedi instance i'm working on is in php, looks like i can just add it with composer and start fucking with it Our solution is to use Key Transparency, which involves publishing all public key enrollments and revocations to an append-only ledger based on Merkle trees. This allows for a verifiable, auditable log of all key-related events, providing a strong foundation for trust. https://github.com/fedi-e2ee/pkd-server-php ah so like a chain of cryptographic addresses and transaction blocks, where have i heard this before

@nyx@social.xenofem.me not to get all political but

the encrypted DM thing is like, not hard to do, zot/nomad solves a lot of problems that could easily be adopted elsewhere, but they won't, a lot of stuff is just Mastodon don't want to do it and they are basically this corpo funded controlled opposition that sets the tone for the whole network, so if you want mastodon to do some shit you have to do it for them and explain to them how you did it like they're children ( they'll say it's impossible because of the spec etc. ) and spend years campaigning for them to adopt this feature, this is quotes or fetch all replies was adopted.

@nyx@social.xenofem.me @i@declin.eu

I think there will come a day when mastodon is on it's way out like diaspora is now because it's so artificially limited ( tho even they have encrypted dm's lmao ) when something else comes along and shows actually you can do both timelines and groups at the same time, support other protocols like websub, while running on less resources etc. And think there are a lot of such projects being worked on currently.

like it really seems like Mastodon gets paid by Meta to do nothing while feeding user data directly to zuckerberg, and so what they do in the updates is fuck with the css on the webUI and other pointless things to look like they're doing something, meanwhile there's so many basic problems they don't even address, like how much of the racist harassment shit that comes up be solved by simple regex filters, something that should be foundational to any moderation system.

And they have this entire playbook for feature requests where they gaslight people into thinking it's not technically possible because it's not in the spec or some bullshit, until every other competitor has implemented the feature, and then they when they do it they say "we just wanted to do it right", like no you didn't want to do it, or really, you didn't want to pay someone to do it, because all their money goes into mastodon.social and advertising and C-suit salaries, like it took them years to implement edits lmao

the cool thing about non corporate platforms is you can say words like 'suicide' and 'pedophile' and 'all fascists must die' and nobody will care

radical feminism is good actually

pronouns in bio: basic, considerate

dsm diagnosis in bia: progressive, sophisticated

esoteric sect in bio: annoying, pretentious

mfs out here with a coherent sense of self rather than assemblages of atemporal fragments of identity pulling each other down like crabs in a bucket, I can't even relate to ya'll

the hatred xmpp gets is a little overblown, yeah it is unstable, the encryption is janky and poorly documented, but like homie, are you actually doing anything that requires this super high threat model? or are you just shitposting? half of ya'll mfs are openly inciting terrorism on fedi, which doesn't even pretend to be private

if you are doing that kind of stuff you shouldn't be chatting about it, or you should be coordinating over the deep web(if at all) on a dedicated device that probably isn't a phone lmao

it's just like, if XMPP+OMEMO were really this horrible insecure thing no one should trust, you would think they'd have found a whole bunch of 0days by now - i'm looking around and I haven't found any - that is how actual security researchers demonstrate the security vs. insecurity of an app or protocol, they do some penetration tests and find a vulnerability and publish it, to the benefit of the software they're testing and to their own careers

They don't just skim the docs and say 'oh this has unserious vibes don't use it" in a blog post, and then call whoever pushes back against that very shallow criticism a cargo cultist, that's not at all what an actual hacker does, a hacker will do the fucking work and not just talk out of their ass, resting on their status as an 'expert' because they know that credentials don't mean shit in real life

^^ such a transparent grift that, like had this "expert" tell me don't ever use XMPP but actually Whatsapp is the most secure thing out there. Ya know, the closed source Facebook app that asks for all the permissions. absolute clowns - it really is a sign of the age that any semblance of scientific rigour has been replaced with dogmatic punditry and most cannot tell the difference.
