  • (I mean, it is in their charter)

    pretty sure it's no longer in their charter.

    Also why do you keep calling it an army. Gaza doesn't have an army.

  • Quite a few nations capitulated against the Nazis within days or even without a fight to avoid war. It saved a lot of lives. Does that make it the right choice? Who is to say...

    What's for sure is that Boris shouldn't have vetoed the peace agreement in 2022.

  • You put the someone in a re-education camp

  • Well, that's news to me.

  • Signal app size 165MB. Conversations: 42MB.

    I can't message someone on Signal without installing Signal or Molly which also uses Signal servers, which has to be trusted on good faith (can't run my own). Ergo a walled garden just like Whatsapp.

    I can't register with just a username & password. I have to trust their PR saying they don't store my ph #.

    US has some of the worst legislation when it comes to privacy; when the agencies decide they want your data, Signal will not be allowed to tell you. And don't give me the bs line that they only store 3 pieces of info about you. Unless you've built their server software you don't know what they collect am store.

  • I use Signal. It's the in thing in my circles.

    The desktop version cannot be used independently; you still need to make and maintain an account on a smart phone. Also the desktop version uses crazy memory. It's a pos. I no longer use it. Also you're limited to 2 devices: one phone & one comp. I sync my xmpp chats between 3 or 4, depending.

  • This is what I would do.

  • Signal is so bloated compared to Conversations on Android. Also it's a walled garden requiring your ph number to register (edit: and requires owning a smart phone👎). Based in the US so not great for privacy. Marginally better than Whatsapp suppose.

    Edit: and it requires a smart phone.

  • Yes, very well.

  • Yea, nah. Say what you want about X, but Meta is in a whole other league than X. In my communities it's monopolising to a large degree:

    • finding housemates/sharehouses,
    • buying/selling second-hand goods online,
    • info on events,
    • news-updates for community groups, and even
    • shift swaps at work

    amongs others. All essential services that Meta took over one by one.

    X on the other hand is just a micro-blogging platform.

  • I'm just saying you're making a big deal out of nothing. Have a good night now.

  • again, gender-neutral wording like they/them don't say anything about gender or her own identity. 'They' does not refer to a third gender. I'm not demanding anything from her. You're the one who brought up using the correct pronouns. So I expect you to be familiar with English grammar.

    I think your language-policing is ridiculous. You can't expect someone unfamiliar with a situation to be up-to-date with how to affirm someone's gender correctly. Gender-neutral language functions as a safe fall-back in such situations. You can rightfully expect people to not misgender people. You cannot be rightfully offended at people using gender-neutral language. The only person I'm making demands of currently is you, because you're making this discussion unnecessarily hostile.

  • Yea, they seem to have a pretty short fuse...

  • Also, how do you even know her preferred pronouns in English? Did you ask her?

  • yea, nah.

    Edit: Using a word is not the same as refusing to use another word in its place.

  • I'm sorry but no. Using gender-neutral language does not describe gender; using 'they' isn't to misgender, it just leaves the gender unspecified.

    You can correctly use 'they' for anyone. If they'd said 'he', now that would've been different...

    (Edit: typo)

  • yep.

  • I'd rather be a loner than go back to that shitbook.
