Interesting read (part way through it)
This is a scathing and intriguing take: Now, four years after the Snowden leak, we can see that all that energy and outrage and potential for civic action has been redirected into a narrow band of mass-politics-by-app. The new consensus, bruited loudly in and around Silicon Valley, holds that all we need to do to protect ourselves from surveillance is download whatever crypto chat app is in vogue at the moment, and run it on our iPhones. Instead of finding political and democratic solutions to the government and corporate surveillance crisis plaguing our society, the privacy movement somehow ended up in a libertarian rut. This is a non-trivial problem. I would actually agree with the kernel of truth that technological solutions are absolutely part of the picture. But, I also wholeheartedly agree the idea that only technological solutions are required is undoubtedly it's own psyop at this point.

People are rushing in to nit-pick that telegram isn't a secure messager (it isn't) and that it's filled with spam/junk (it is) but there's an important truth to what you're saying.

E2EE isn't an end to itself, it's a means to privacy outside third-party control. The EU (and many other governments) have made it explicitly clear they view any and all communications they can't monitor control or shut down are a problem.

You don't have to like Telegram or durov to see this as a troubling sign within a broader pattern that is only hard to see when ones wishes not to see.

I saw someone on funnyjunk post these motivational series of images. I felt they deserved a voiceover.
I left the words as-is. I would have phrased things differently if I wrote it myself.

I think Kennedy being welcomed by Trump & fans shows that MAGA is more open-minded than critics would like you to believe.

I'm told it's @grips@cawfee.club fault.

You know what would be rad? An exchange program for people without their sleep in order.
You swap insomniacs to opposite time-zones so that once they ruin their sleep again you send them back and they're not "jet-lagged" but normal again!
I see no problems with this strategy.

Chud conspiracy re-education is now online thanks to the University of Queensland.

@sun@shitposter.world have you heard about arweave AO?
Seems like they've got pie-in-the sky dreams that they can "blockchain everything" by building a smart contract platform on top of their "permanent storage platform".

Canada is pushing wages so low we're being caught doing slavery.
All major parties are fine with this in one form or another.

You'd think part of speaking truth to power is... actually speaking.
