Migrating here (or maybe keeping both) from @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.ml
Will put an eternal curse on your enemies for a Cinemageddon invite.
I came here to post this, everyone knows Al Gore invented the internet.
Will you shut up and let this random white American who has never been there tell you how things really are in your own country ffs? Do you really think you know your country better than a guy who probably can't even point it out on a map?! You're ruining his savior complex!
(Obviously I'm just kidding and making fun of him, you're cool lol.)
Well, reported anyway, domestic violence from women is still a joke to most people and sometimes even celebrated, people loved Cardi B drugging and robbing men, men who try to report rape are laughed at and called gay for not enjoying it, if you can even report them because in many states (like my state) rape requires penetration so the worst a woman can be charged with legally speaking is "sexual assault."
It's still probably more men than women, but it's not as little of a problem from women as our numbers and common perception would have you believe, it's just that nobody gives a fuck when the attacker is a girl/woman and the victim is male. I wouldn't know, it's not like I've been raped twice by two different women or anything (because in my state, legally speaking, it was "only" sexual assault. Don't worry though, those women will never be charged with that either, they're free to continue sexually assaulting).
Yeah because outside of America there are no criminals, there is no crime, it's just a complete paradise in the whole of the world, there's no CJNG, CDS Los Zetas, Boko Haram, Vodou killing almost 200 elderly because "witchcraft,” none of that; there's no countries with Sharia law that still stone women to death for being raped, noooo, and all those women's trials totally have lawyers and are totally fair.
C'mon lmao. I don't like Maga idiots either but they're far from the only criminals in the world.
Yeah at least you'll be familiar with the apps, ease the headache switching.
So it's GUIMP? I thought it was "GNU Image Manipulation Program."
At least some of them have to be right.
But I already know I want a Speed Queen, so when Samsung advertises whatever shit new Samsung AI Washer/Dryer with wifi and bluetooth horse shit, my brain goes "ahh yeah put more money towards that Speed Queen." And then when I go to replace my phone I go "hmmm lets see what can use grapheneOS" and Samsung loses again, then I go to replace my TV and get a used Vizio from 2008 at the flea market, etc..
It just doesn't work along "brand" lines at least for me.
Even still, it was always either
A) Shit I'd absolutely never buy
B) Shit I was planning on buying anyway before the ad
C) The ad reminds me "oh yeah I do need new underwear" (idfk lol), but even then I just mentally log that and go buy underwear later, never "click the add and buy those underwear," not even necessarily the same brand at another retailer, like instead of Hanes™ the ad could say "Underwear^TheConcept" and it'd be the same thing.
The targeting seems to not be worth piss to me imo.
IMO the main advantage that Matrix-Element has for normal users is the branding: Element is Element on the web, Android and iOS.
I agree, though Delta Chat has this too, it's the same on linux/mac/win, android, and iOS. There's also Arcane Chat for android developed by one of the devs of Delta Chat as sort of a testing ground but that's like an if you know you know thing, like my mom just thinks we're all on Delta Chat. One thing is they don't have a web interface afaik, you need the app.
Simple user+password login to a hosted (non-matrixdotorg) server takes 5-6 pages to click through.
And the recovery passwords and all that just seem to be out of reach for those who just use hunter2 for everything, if the complaints I got are indicative if most people.
I was spammed with racist copypasta on XMPP once too. But being in large Matrix chats guarantees being invited/messaged.
Good news for Delta Chat is they don't really do groups like that, you can group chat but it's more for like friends and family than strangers, I see that as a win in this use case, where if we need xmpp/matrix style public groups we can fall back to xmpp. You also have to accept chats before they go through and there is no discoverability so you won't get random drive bys.
They no longer recommend using a traditional email account, instead recommending chatmail servers like these (there's more as well, but they have this small list to choose from in the app or you can bring your own). They say if you have to use traditional email use a dedicated account for delta chat, not one that also gets traditional email.
I like how they are trying to address metadata as much as possible, the onboarding is so easy my literal mother can do it, video/audio calling is in beta and works pretty well (some glitches, but it's in beta), the webXDC stuff is cool but I don't really use it yet, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Personally I like XMPP over Matrix because
- Matrix clients aren't great (even element is buggy as piss on my phone and a shitty electron app on linux)
- Matrix is too difficult for "normal" people (I agree they should get good but they don't and what good is a chat app without recipients).
- Matrix public rooms have a CP problem, and as such I can't recommend people join it just in case, I don't need my mom seeing that shit.
- Matrix was started as an Amdocs project before they defunded it and the lead dev went to form The Matrix Foundation. Amdocs is a Mossad affiliated company that infiltrated American telcom companies long ago. Matrix also pisses metadata to any server it federates with, including matrix [.] org, and I have no proof that Mossad is spying on that metadata but I have no trust either, nor proof that they aren't, so I can't trust matrix anymore.
Though XMPP also has had it's own problems for me, so at the moment it's my fallback and I'm trying out Delta Chat which I have been loving.
Tbf many have hated him since he said that advocating for red flag laws and since he banned bumpstocks which opened up the ATF to regulate things they shouldn't have been (and they've lost a lawsuit over it, so now they no longer are thankfully, but he still opened the door).
I hated him before that tbf but my pro-trump acquaintances started cracking around that time (especially because I was putting pressure on about it lol, calling him a gun grabber and all other manner of true things, did you know he was a lifelong Democrat until he ran betting he could trick the Republicans? Lol)
Now, most of them still say "yeah but the Democrats are worse on gun rights so we can't vote for them" and tbh, they're not entirely wrong, the Dems need to stop shooting themselves in the foot on gun rights 30yr ago, the political landscape would look so much different right now if they hadn't wasted so much time pushing gun owners to the right and not arming themselves (well more accurately convincing their base not to arm themselves, the Dem party members all have guns and/or private security who carries guns because in their mind they're "important" and their base is not.) It would take the Dems a long time of completely reversing their opinion on guns and actually pushing legislature that actually helps gun rights before the 2a supporters are going to trust them again, it can be done, but it'll take at least a decade of consistent pro-2a actions. And it would be beneficial to do so, too, at the moment 2a supporters are pushed right then radicalized while they're there, if gun rights aren't a foothold for them anymore they'll have to work that much harder and it could even be used by the Dems to radicalize those people for good instead of bad.
Tuta sucks, they deleted an acct of mine for inactivity, then when I went to replace it they flagged the new one for manual review and said "this addr cannot send mail until the review clears, please reach out to our support team using the email we just said can't send email for some reason." I went with Disroot.
GrapheneOS is super easy to install, they have a walkthrough on their site.
Having to register
suppressorsblue shit at all is the dumb part. They're required safety equipment in some parts of Europe and Europeans can barely even have guns!Yup! You're spot on.
Tbh yeah I'd have trouble with a specific city in Poland, but I could point to Poland at least, never been though and would still not tell some Polish dude how it really works there. But also that's like telling some Lithuanian "Point out Albany NY (their state capitol)," I can't expect that, the state itself would be good enough.
(Also just to reiterate, I was making fun of the guy you were arguing with, not actually you!)
