I keep meaning to try Zen for some reason it keeps getting lumped in with non-open source forks like Floorp in my brain

Oh just the first country that occurred to me for fleeing purposes where you can get a BYD car. Was thinking turtle island based on site demographics. That was phenomenally unclear of me as usual wasn’t it

Underlying point: western tolerance/funding/compatibility of privacy/FOSS tools is not reliable once chip & datacenter monopolies become uncertain. It’s being the center of the global surveillance apparatus that gives them the luxury of allowing these software solutions. They control the hardware manufacturers.

My trust does not go far even with GOS, which I am using right now. I’m not afraid of surveillance by my own government. In fact I welcome it, I’m trying to be a cooler person in general and they’re a lot cooler than I am. I just want deeper control over my droid than a Chinese phone would allow, without an unlocked bootloader worrying about my phone being physically stolen (yes I am completely insane, but it helps me relax knowing if I drop it somewhere I didn’t expose my employers)

Within seven years I just got to get a better phone, which they will probably be making by then. Y’all gotta get a new country & laws. We already make those so should be easy right

Well marceline by the time a new generation of GOS security update guarantees elapses (7-8 years) maybe you can all have Chinese phones in Mexico

Oh that will save me a lot of time on WikiArt 😂 treat yourself to some Remedios Varo backgrounds Gary! Yippee.

No, it only applies to what they understood about the software and hardware, not any potential updates or firmware bugs being deliberately put out as backdoors. You know, the stuff that has been whistleblown on repeatedly. Oh well, why bother to remember all that stuff. It’s much easier to get angry at those nerds for spreading conspiracy theories about the Zionist glory of Google.

The truth is, none of you would believe this stuft was secure if your life depended on it. Your threat model is to be so entertained it would be foolish to kill you. Keep clapping big boy

We are finding out rn with Iran. End of the world is cancelled. History is back on the menu boys

Thank you for filling me with blinding rage #mozillahatefarming #bookmarked #freeglassofcoffee

This has clearURLs built in (and Libredirect although it doesn’t seem to be working, the basic redirect button is surprisingly helpful for tinyurl bitly type stuff) I will take a look for redundancy tho bc that is the reality of FOSS scattered projects

I would be inclined to agree on the software front, but for naming things going forward people should be conscientious and not force disabled folks to take them to task over something which makes them feel miserable and dismissed.

They failed in their project to steal drug dealer entrapment business from Telegram (which has similar fake e2ee chats) and decided to close up shop.

It means a person who has a disability affecting their gait, or making them otherwise unable to locomote, but acting like it’s the namesake is ridiculous and takes away from the credibility of people fighting the reactionary movements in software development, which are much deeper than clunky acronyms. Demanding rebranding from projects fighting for relevance isn’t helping anything.

The kink people, if they are still doing that, can come up with a new term for it. How about “restraintcel” see that was fun

Oh you must be FUN at parties, just try Gimp it’s awesome

🙀

Looks so good with Arcticons and everything set to dark transparent + white lines on a lush natural background. I want to get a LineageOS-compatible tablet but I just can’t pull the trigger.

You ought to be tormented by ghosts of Filipino tuna fishermen for such a remark. Firstoids are completely delusional.

If you want to make your addiction way worse in a crack vs cocaine kind of way I recommend KISS Launcher so you can install infinity apps.

You’re an ungrateful one huh. I wonder if you hate any of the other people who make software you use. 🤔💭

Wrong about everything + no arguments award 🏅

If I drive a car towards a crosswalk, and people in it scream at me to stop, am I less culpable or more culpable if I have the window rolled down to yell “I’m going to brake in a second, you can trust me”? What if I know my brakes are worn out and I am already braking?

I have no idea why anyone would even trust a company that passes off email as secure. That’s just not the way it was designed.
