The age difference is about 20% smaller if you add 5 years. Development doesn’t happen linearly, though, so the difference is even bigger.

No shit it’s the most obvious beef and dairy psyop ever. Aaaaugh ough the computer says I can only eat butter!!

Nice, I’m gonna try that. I use SingleFile.

No but I have eated “soy beans” which are quite delicious. Afterwards I felt a sense of contentedness wash over me.

Never cared for the way this fellow tries to argue that everything is too difficult to be useful. I’ve gotten plenty of friends and family on XMPP and the clients that don’t have encryption on by default are easy to remember. Really blowing it out of proportion.

Honestly, what do security researchers like this even know about normal people? They sit through all kinds of inconveniences to use Facebook. This is a thought experiment.

Some of these are valid criticisms, of course, a lot of XMPP stuff feels like it from the 2010s. It’s still the only real option. Matrix client or server is bloated garbage, theu moved server fixes into a walled garden, its development is dependent on funding from the USA National Endowment for Democracy technology fund. Signal has similar funding issues and is very shady with its centralization, trust issues, demanding phone numbers. Sets users up to leak all kinds of stuff in notifications like Matrix.

The strange insistence that only Signal meets their requirements makes me skeptical, as does the way they have operated in Github threads. They seem like an emotional nightmare to work with.

Seeing this shit feels like an advertisement though, in a way.

100% it is aggravating that I cannot make something as simple as a chat relay on the mighty computer. It is the work of depraved individuals

None whatsoever sorry. I got made fun of as a Westoid for mentioning Whatsapp though, apparently the cool kids are on Viber now.

Yeah if you want to use Signal and TG, Molly and AyuGram are a bit better than stock FYI

The entire US economy has been running off of an asset megabubble that demands global dollar recycling via Wall St. and property for decades now. This is much worse than 2008 as there is no cushioning. We will see what 20+ of doubling down looks like in the end.

Usually. I will admit it is usually body or air. Sometimes though

The correct way to eliminate human trafficking and child abuse is capital controls. Bring the fucking bankers to heel. You don’t have the credibility to talk like this while you work hand-in-glove with skinsuits like Jamie Dimon and the coterie of coin operated policymakers that calls itself western democracy. So the intention is not to use credibility, but something much quicker.

Oh, since you mentioned Telegram, I ought to mention that it’s totally possible to puppeteer your account on there so it looks just like you are using the real app. If a lady asked me to use TG or Signal I would unironically assume she knows drug dealers 😭

Matterbridge works with some of those, but I doubt anyone wants to talk to a relay bot. Just directly get people’s real phone numbers and run the Insta from your home PC in browser. All of those apps are cancer and even in a separate profile on Graphene or some shit, I would feel like a dirty bastard.

Cheogram offers a phone gateway. They don’t even know they are using XMPP.

You gotta hit em with the old “im a patsy”

I can move things with the Power of My Mind

Do you not use backups?

Wrong, XMPP is the only option that actually lets you talk to baddies on their phone number without them downloading a new app just for you. Aside from some kind of tortured solution such as AirMessage/BlueBubbles involving buying a literal Macbook.

Good catch, Johnson is the guy who monitors his son’s erections.
