They’re pretty useful for sharing wifi logins in person for smartphones, for example.

Sorry, life got in the way. I’m not surprised you’re not familiar with such matters.

I am surprised how much you support spreading hate speech by removing the ability of moderation.

You didn’t answer my question.

Who would pay for the platform, and who would moderate it? Or do you just want even more hate speech to spread?

A public forum, I assume paid for and maintained by the taxes of the public?

Ah, so you’re pro moderation when you personally find the contect to be even indirectly harmful.

“Double standards are bad, no matter which side.”

Why should anyone get to own the only effective avenues of communication? Communication is what determines how the world works.

Who currently owns the “only effective avenues of communication”?

CP is illegal obviously, and jihad doesn’t make sense in the cute cats category the way ‘straight only game mod’ makes sense in the ‘game mod’ category.

“Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective.” Seems there’s a limit to the ugly you’re willing to put up with, and you’re quite willing to silence perspectives yourself.

You cleaely still want people to moderate social networks. I assume you’d want these people to outside the company?

Major media outlets and companies should not be considered private platforms.

Really? Now I’m curious, how do you imagine that?

I assume the company still pays for the platform, hosting, development, etc. Since it’s public, are they now subsidised by taxes?

Who moderates the platforms then? Are is it all just unmoderated?

Will companies get compansated for lost revenue?

I genuinely curious how you imagine this working.

Anyone can sign up and post while they use their money and influence to decide who gets heard.

Yeah, because it’s theirs. They own it.

If I let everyone into my house for a party, doesn’t mean I lose the right to kick people out.

Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective. I don’t want an echo chamber.

I’m okay with an echo chamber if it means I don’t have to put up with CP and jihadi execution footage in my cute cat feed.

I assume it would be no problem for you.

No, but you can’t forcibly take and use someone else’s megaphone.

So private platform and private parties shouldn’t have the right to moderate and regulate their own spaces?

You’re using HTTPS, do you have child porn?

It’s E2EE from the sender to your Beeper server, where it’s decrypted, then re-encypted as a Matrix message.

Then it’s not E2E encrypted.

One end is your device, the other end is the other device. It’s only E2E encrypted if it is not decrypted until it reaches the other device.

You can try Syncthing.

It doesn’t need a seperate server, messing with port forwarding, etc, just a similar setup to onedrive.

Plus, since it’s just syncing files, all your data is private, and you don’t need to worry about buying more cloud storage space.

Feel free to message me if you need help with it.

And the UK goverment really REALLY wants to have backdoors put into every kind on encryption.

Well, I’m sure the two aren’t related.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

The quarantine mission.

I didn’t have it spolied, and I got really attached to my men.

The beginning was bad enough, but when they started saluting…

Also, Red Dead Redemtion 2, the ending. Man, that sunrise was beautiful…

(If you liked the vibe of RDR2, check out these two songs by the incredible Gavin Dunne.)

He resigned immediately after making a culturally insensitive sentence to avoid vultures, and a vulture is swooping after him to capitalize on his poor judgment.

Okay, let’s not pretend it was a single misinterpreted sentence, and now poor Ashton is unfairly hounded.

Jesus doesn’t do that. Jesus does the opposite of that.

Exactly, jesus wouldn’t say something like that or this:

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”

True, we should be using a temperature scale that was defined on how cold it was in Gdańsk, Poland in the winter of 1708, something the average man is more familiar with than water temperature, right?

So some drivers are not installed like I said

No, you said:

First of all they’re going to have to release a distro which actually has, shock horror, proprietary drivers installed on it, because your average user isn’t going to understand how to install them.

You’re moving the goalposts.

They’re religious? What a shame…

Wow, you wrote a game engine in machibe language?

Can we see it?
