Virtualization makes it a lot easier to work in different environments

Oh even better could turn it into an art calendar

Can you turn off the stock photos?

Honestly they’re leaving money on the table by not doing this. They have a horde of mindless whales that are physically unable to stop themselves from buying the Golden LaSnooSnoo and posting about making it “moon”, the place is crypto bro idiot headquarters

You’d be surprised how valuable these technologies can be when they’re not only being developed to create new financialized services to overcharge people for. Manufacturing and shipping has huge capital and logistic buffers created by information gaps, production shortfalls, fraud, etcetera, and cryptographic ledgers are excellent for ensuring accurate production and inventory information is relayed to clients in realtime. What’s more, it has the potential to mediate international transactions without relying on Swift or global banking institutions that are an extension of US authority.

Notice how nothing I said was about fucking NFTs. The western financial system completely lost the plot doing super cocaine and became convinced they could just ask the rest of the world to stay slaves forever. They don’t even care about its potential! They want TrumpCoin.

So far all I have seen them say is that the new device meets their requirements. Considering that this company has a lot of power over them I would be very tight-lipped about details in case they start throwing curveballs

PostmarketOS makes no claim that it is ready to be a daily driver, Linux phones are pretty experimental right now. That’s why there is so much tension over the custom ROMs that manage to function on such locked-down hardware

XMPP, but also Delta Chat! The Webxdc apps for Delta work in XMPP client Cheogram despite there being no cross-compatibility between the networks. It can access ordinary email servers so long as they were not set up maliciously (Apple, M$, Gmail, etc). It can do a couple things XMPP cannot, but it’s not suitable for anyone outside close friends and family. I basically only use it for email, automation, and other personal matters. XMPP is for general use and can replace Discord. The Movim project looks very cool they have a community here also join their XMPP chat. Cheogram services can connect to the regular phone network.

It is a good implementation of RPG mechanics. The worldbuilding setpieces were fun to engage with. The writing is insufferable.

Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that’s the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They’ll be frank

Which fork?

D*sco Elys*um

Aside from touching on people he has a cult and a bunch of other weird shit this guy is no good

China claims to be a third of the way there. You’re going to need to relax for a bit.

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

Oh nice, that was actually the main reason I used them on Reddit. It sends everything you vote on or save to various RSS feeds.

No, seriously, try and answer it.

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.

What’s communism?

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.
