@jepyang just cause you have strong feelings about justice doesn't mean you're actually right about the things you feel strongly about.

@M0YNG @whitequark yeah

@whitequark heard from some folks that it's getting pretty common to see laptops without RAM cause the RAM costs more than the rest of the laptop.

@whitequark used laptops being plundered for RAM and the rest is trash now I guess

@jacel @cloudhop @xgranade if you have money you can afford to fail so many times

@cloudhop what does he... how...

@OctaviaConAmore @North in Japan there's no such thing as too much packaging

@chipperdoodles @North that's kinda cute

@henningtillmann Forderungen nach mehr Überwachung und Kontrolle sind bei der SPD ja häufig beliebt.

@anthropy note that the GDPR doesn't just apply to servers hosted in the EU. only one of the data controller data processor or data subject (that is a person using the service) needs to be located in the EU for it to take effect.
if you have users living in the EU you need to follow the GDPR.

@iris_meredith we're still kinda working on the whole having desires and such again. honestly I think a fair amount was also crushed out of us by the realities of capitalism. things we legitimately wanted seemed completely unattainable.

@iris_meredith oh... oh so that's why things went the way they did. we didn't even connect some of our experiences to gender dysphoria despite having known that we're trans for over 8 years now. okay.

@0xabad1dea of course you can argue about whether those different use cases are best handled by the same software

@0xabad1dea yeah the thing is just, people use discord for (relatively) small groups too. some of those would honestly be fine as a signal group (had one if those before), but for some having something with a bit more functionality would be good and your threat model there probably isn't being targeted by a nation state adversary, but surveillance dragnets and not wanting everything to sit in plaintext on a server in case someone who shouldn't gains access.

@0xabad1dea but yeah anything that for all practical purposes is basically open to the public anyway doesn't need encryption. I just don't know that that contains all likely use cases.
though I do see the risk of encryption giving folks a false sense of security.

example: we're in a signal group with several hundred local folks where people share about events, ask recommendations for doctors and the like. at that point the encryption is basically pointless. this is just the chat app everyone happens to have.

@0xabad1dea I do think there's a point to E2EE that isn't about trying to thwart nation state adversaries. honestly you should probably not talk about your illegal actions on Signal either.

@Joerg_Zimmermann @dnkrupinski @Gerbsen also hier im Fediverse sieht man öfter Entwickler*innen die nach einem Job suchen und öfter Schwierigkeiten dabei haben was passendes zu finden.

@steff @lyli @YKantRachelRead given some of the recent disclosures about "old and true" encryption implementations that doesn't fill with confidence tbh

@JanaBallweber scratch a centrist, a hard right authoritarian bleeds

@CAETFOOD cutie curvy soft grandpa and feral pastel :3
