@LoganFive "I can't personally do anything, oh well."

@kakafarm and now I'm learning that we need a devault-report.org.

The ones who speak up will be lumped in with those being accused.

That's why knowing the "First they came for..." poem doesn't help us, and how fascism is already on its way.

We could stop it, but we would have to get over our non-critical differences really quickly, and I don't think that's something we want to do.

Our division is their power.

Smart people avoid money.

@icedquinn welcome to the world of ... TOMORROW!

Did the fall of cigarettes bring the rise of coffee, in a population desperate for stimulants?

@icedquinn eh?

@icedquinn since I'm no longer following you, and you're no longer following me, I presume I said something that made you mute or block me?

@internetarchive kinda gotta ask the obvious -- does this mean you have a deal with google and they will, in time, ruin you?

@lain were you shooting at it?

So PolicyKit kinda slid under my radar for a long time and seems to be ripe with granting my non-priv users access to things they should not have access to, by default, such as modifying wireless connections.

@andrewrk they receive money from Google to keep Google as the default search engine.

It sucks that they are the only viable alternative to Chrome.

@lanodan ok, then for the matter of pedantics or to handle your non-native english speaking, let's be sure to add "parents" to what I've said.

To believe that children do not emulate their parents is a little baffling.

@winterschon @mia

@lanodan parents are role models.

Awful parents are awful role models.

@winterschon @mia

@mia found this article recently. Might help explain some things.

@winterschon

@mia what is an awful take? You seem to be agreeing with what the article says.

Children with childhoods full of emotional abuse and neglect often have a poor role model for authority figure, and seems likely that would produce more anti-authoritarian children.

@winterschon

This quote makes me really wonder about someone's motivations:

"If anyone feels like I’m picking on #Matrix, don’t worry: I have far worse things to say about #Telegram, #Threema, #XMPP + #OMEMO, #Tox, and a myriad other projects that are hungry for #Signal’s market share but don’t measure up from a cryptographic security perspective.

If Signal fucked up as bad as these projects, my criticism of Signal would be equally harsh. (And remember, I have looked at Signal before.)"

@jason123santa no. It's some cryptography researcher that seems to have issues with anything that isn't Signal.
