The object man appears behind you while you’re coding and inserts a null reference that takes you a day to find.

Nice

No one forced the democrats to do this:

There’s also Plume.

I read through the whole list, and monero was the only decent privacy recomendation I could find. Everything else was US-hosted. A lot of it was just recommendations from Apple and Google on “privacy” services they offer.

No mention of syncthing, matrix, xmpp, even with sections dedicated to those categories.

Wise decision.

Yes, I believe all the messages are in plain text, and it’s up to the server not to log it.

It is possible to e2ee the message content yourself tho.

Edit: it looks like ntfy.sh specifically keeps messages cached in memory for a few hours befor discarding them. https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/

Not sure what the source is there. Does seem low, but Israel doesn’t seem to be taking any prisoners anyway.

Incarceration rates worldwide if every US state was a country.

Property rights only exist when non-western countries want their stuff / land back. When the west stole them, then its finders keepers.

Can someone explain the reactionary joke I’m missing here, what does this mean.

I really wanted this, but couldn’t find anything than worked well. I ended up using tasks.org, an open source todo list that has great calendar functionality and syncing, and moved all my calendar events to it.

Hedgedoc or etherpad work.

That rabbit hole goes very deep, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. It could very well be a crypto AG style honey-pot, or already cracked tech, that we might not know about for years to come.

Even playing that way, monopoly is still a single-winner game of course, which is what elizabeth magie wanted to demonstrate.

Another other unintended lesson is that ruthless profit-seeking hacks will enclose / steal any idea or invention, reinvent it, and claim it as their own. It was and remains a model for silicon valley.

There is no reason to do any of that. No one forced signal to use phone numbers as their primary identifier, and plenty of privacy oriented chat programs don’t require that.

I’m sot trusting anything from signal themselves, just like I wouldn’t trust anything apple, microsoft, google, or any other US-based company with centralized services says about themselves.

That got added recently, but you still need a phone number to sign up. A phone number is tied to your identity, meaning that signal’s database has the names and addresses of everyone who uses it. And since signal is US-based, its subject to US national security letters, meaning its illegal for signal to tell anyone that the US government has requested information about who they’re talking to.

Under the Obama administration, an average of 60 NSLs were issued every single day.

I think they even have pen (like, writing pen) cameras that can fit inside a front pocket for pretty cheap.
