Doesn’t take away the fact that not being on F-droid is a huge issue and says a lot about how much they care about privacy and security.

Is it time stamp of last usage, or time stamp of all messages?
If someone came to me and said “someone just murdered your parents who live in another country”, and I asked for proof. Your inclination is “this guy loves to see photos of dead parents”? Or is it that “this guy wants evidence that this random stranger’s claim is true”?
The meme is poking fun at the fact that this event never happened, and there’s no evidence of it.
Source: trust me bro
I obviously am not happy to watch decapitated children. The meme is poking fun at the fact that Israel lied about this incident.
It is a meme yes. Just because it tackles a current even doesn’t change that.
Israel already admitted there’s no evidence, and withdrew it.
I don’t think there’s any significant downsides. I suppose you are dependent on their infrastructure and uptime. If they ever go down, or for any reason stop offering their services, then you’re out of luck. But yeah that’s not significant.
The reason I want to do this is it gives me more control over the setup in case I ever wanted to customize it or the wireguard config, and also teaches me more in general, which will enable me to better debug.
I use gentoo, so my swap is pretty large because it often compiles from source. I have it at 16 GB for my raspberry pi and 32 GB for my pc. I think I’ll be bumping up the raspberry pi to 32
This reads like the author liked the old Twitter, which I think was also very cringe. Bluesky is not promising or much better.
Unfortunately Twitter celebrities seem so starved for an alternative, that I think they’re willing to sweep their anti-zuckerberg-ism under the rug in favor of getting back that social media engagement hit. I’ve already seen it in my circles and I doubt it’s unique.
Unfortunately, I really do think threads will succeed. It is filling a void much desired by many, even if done poorly. And chances are, they’ll make it better (or at least more attractive or addicting).
I always redo it lol, which is kind of a waste but I enjoy it.
Maybe a related question is what I wish I could do if I had the time (which I will do eventually. Some I plan to do very soon):
I hate defederation for things like this. This should be a user’s choice, not imposed by the instance itself. I hate how the fediverse forces the moderation choices on you.
I dont care that instagram uses activityPub. As long as I can use activityPub myself, thats enough for me. Most people will always stick with big social media, and I would rather be able to interact with them vs. not
Obama is known for his public speaking skills. What he says does not necessarily match his actions.
Raising awareness is the second step towards solving a problem. Silencing or ignoring it is counter productive.
It may be depressing for you, but for others it is a life or death situation. Would you want them to ignore your suffering if tables were turned? And let you suffer in silence?
That kinda uhh… Makes it worse? They have been letting migrants die every month for years? That does not make it okay at all, neither ignoreable. It makes it way worse.
Yeah it’s definitely privileged. When the news doesn’t effect you and is just a matter of screen entertainment, then it is absolutely privileged.
And that’s exactly what were speaking against.
That’s entirely the point. That shouldn’t be the case.
Signal actually has a rule on not using third party clients on its servers. These clients existing do not prove the point you intend.
