I upgraded my Steamdeck joysticks to a 3rd party with hall effect sensors, the ssd to one with double the capacity, and the fan to one that is silent. There’s people that have upgraded even more things, to the point of using a pcie flat cable to connect a full pcie GPU card.

Look into their MobileCoin and how they implemented it. They are just banking on people forgetting about it.

Anybody pulling these antics with a cryptography product loses my (and others) trust immediately. I’m a security soft dev, and my colleagues and I migrated to Element and Matrix network when it happened. I remember the disgust vividly.

Of course all of this is not going to be the Signal wikipedia page… It’s amazing how their fanbois work.

That argument makes absolutely no sense. These server-side code does almost nothing. The only task it really has is passing around encrypted packets between clients.

So it knows about all metadata, plus registration with phone number, etc. got it.

The Signal protocol, which is used for client-side, local, on-device end-to-end encryption has always been fully open, and it can be used by any app/platform.

you conveniently leave out how you need to use the client built by Signal, with dependencies from Google Services and the like, and you can’t use one built from the source they provide. Which at that point means they can introduce whatever they want in whichever version.

Decentralisation is the only safe way.

And before lacked this and that. It keeps improving, contrast to Signal having the server code closed source for more than a year so the Signal devs could get a headstart and insider knowledge in their Signal-included crytpo coin grief.

How one can trust Signal after them showcasing what they truly stand for is mind blowing.

She weighted 2 kilos more than allowed the day before, putting her over 50, even almost making it to 53 which would be 2 weight classes over.

They put her in dehydration, diet, “trash bag” running to get all sweat out, a Sauna in the morning of the weight-in (but she wasn’t sweating anymore), they removed blood from her, and as a last measure, cut her hair.

She failed.

She needed IV injections right after the moment of the weight-in by the committee. She then was hospitalized and remains hospitalized. It seems that luckily she is fine.

Disqualification is there to prevent countries pushing their athletes through these ordeals, which have long-term consequences on their health.

Conservatism is dead. Climate change is scientifically proven to be catastrophic.

If we do nothing, change will come to us, and fuck up everything. If we elect to change our society and systems, we save ourselves but our way of living changes.

One way or another there’s change. There’s nothing to conserve. Stop yelling and kicking like an irrational kid trying to save conservatism and crony capitalism.

Opinions that try to break societies’ democratic contract are not worth anything at all. You break your side of the democratic contract by working for our war enemies, or break the fundamental rights of society, dont expect the rest of society to give a damn. That’s how tolerance works. It is a contract.

The idea is to extinguish the other variants, get into a monoculture, and in the future have them completely at Monsanto’s will. This product is patented. There’s no need for patented grains here. They can be helped through many other means and produces.

I will not buy Nintendo ever again. I’m glad they have sullied their own name.

Conservatism is dead. If we do nothing, climate change will profoundly alter the way of living. If we act, we prevent climate change, but we will profoundly alter the way of life. In both cases, there’s no place for conservatism. It’s just closing the eyes and covering the ears like a child.

All of this could be there with the matrix.org protocol. The matrix protocol saves the comments and content in a directed graph, and that graph is copied to every instance, once one views it. It may not scale though. But it has benefits, such as encryption (making communities private or gated when under attack)
