Fair point lol.

Alright I got it, rejected sent it to his brother, his brother thought it was funny and posted it.

Still fake though lol.

Actually I posit another theory, the rejector could have found their rejecting funny enough to screenshot/upload, sort of laughing at their own joke.

I mean I’m sure you’re right and it’s fake, but y’know, other perspectives.

Necro, but: “the location” is broadcast via GPS by the dogbot, “the location” is either “where the dog was EMP’d,” or “where the dog was forcibly exploded.” Either way they know it was the last broadcasted position.

Besides, explosions leave them with a lot less salvageable material, the actual main issue is shrapnel.

Sorry for necro, if anyone still uses that term, but:

Bro then fucking do it. You won’t, pussy, no balls.

OR you have a life, don’t want to die, you know that it won’t solve anything it’ll just make Vance president and further the goals of the surveillance state, and that you expecting others to do what you wont is fucking dumb. Pick one and stick with it. The only people who have the right to say “but we could shoot him” to me are those who have tried, either do it or kindly fuck off with that shit tbh.

Very true. Though tbf some people use it for other stuff, it’s gaming related but the flash cart for my GBC is just made by some Aussie and he runs his tech support on his discord server (kinda like how GrapheneOS does with their Matrix room.) That’s the unfortunate part to me, I’d rather both be a phpBB forum lol.

Yeah I honestly never used it myself, but people seem to want a direct feature replacement without the privacy issues and to be fair Matrix is closer to fitting that bill than Delta Chat. I personally don’t need that, so Delta works for me (but even if I did need it, I still can’t trust Matrix).

Same here, I’m using Delta Chat. Honestly it’s pretty great and has all the features I need from a chat app, and it’s decentralized and resilient allowing for multi-relay set-ups. It’s not a discord replacement, though.

Yeah, but then plenty of spies are personable, you’d never suspect Anna Chapman was actually Anna Vasilyevna Kushchenko until she gets arrested. Actually they almost have to be somewhat personable or they can’t do their jobs.

Though in 2017 Epstein was in full swing (I know, Mossad still denies involvement, but I don’t trust them and Jizzlane’s dad was one of their top agents until they killed him), the AMDOCs spying scandals go back to at least 2002, NSO Group released Pegasus in 2011, that same company (NSO) is made up of veterans of Israeli Intelligence Corps SIGINT unit 8200 which was founded in 1952 (also known as the “Central Collection Unit of the Intelligence Corps”). I don’t trust Israel now, 10y ago, 20y ago, doesn’t matter, I’m tired of surveillance no matter who is driving.

I’ll try to find a link to the metadata issues, but for now I’ll just say it’s senders, receivers, timestamps, and room “joins” I think. Also reactions and read receipts aren’t encrypted for sure.

Sure, “only the various server admins get the metadata,” but when you don’t trust the admins of the largest and “default” server? That’s an issue. Also nothing stops [insert group that worries you] from spinning up a server to collect metadata, unless as I said you host your own separated server without any federation.

As for the AMDOCs connection, this is enough for me to be out, make your own decisions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)

The initial project was created inside Amdocs, while building a chat tool called “Amdocs Unified Communications”,[6] by Matthew Hodgson and Amandine Le Pape. Amdocs then funded most of the development work from 2014 to October 2017.[7]

Yeah they should be fighting me lmao (not that I want to), I’m not ok with the app. It’s dogshit and so is the linux electron app, both barely work and break themselves all the time, the UI is overly complicated (even for some of the features I do like, like having three different passes [pass, recovery, and idr the third I had] was actually pretty sweet, but my less techy friends had issues, one lost his whole acct, yes he’s dumb but that ain’t changing, still love him lol). Even if another app actually worked (and last I saw ALL lack feature parity with Element) Matrix itself is still a metadata pissing AMDOCs (Israeli company, spied on US telcom, for those unaware) originated protocol, honestly I’m out on that alone.

I’m a Delta Chat supremacist lmao, down with Matrix.

I’m gonna pile a few on (I’ve mentioned them elsewhere in this thread, but…)

• Those aforementioned “rooms?” Element took the ability to search them away but you could still join if you knew the room addr (search may be back now), why? Because of the HUGE CP spam problem those rooms had (have?). I’m not pushing an app that could possibly show my mom that shit.

• Onboarding is atrocious, I had to set it up for everyone I tried it with myself, the normies cannot figure it out. "They should get good,” yeah I agree, but they aren’t gonna, so your move.

• It pisses metadata to any server you federate with. If you self host a contained ecosystem, maybe, but if you federate with matrix.org (as you almost have to do), the ex AMDOCs employees who started it as an AMDOCs project before breaking off to form The Matrix Foundation get more info than I’m comfortable with considering their history of spying on telecommunications.

Ok I admit some of that isn’t UI issues… still bad.

I tried element X, it also stopped working on me like element regular did, and like this other poster complained about.

My friends also bailed on it because it wasn’t working (as did I) and I’m not about to say “no guys some random lemmy user says it’s good now.” They’ll reply “what the fuck is lemmy and why switch back from Delta Chat while it’s working so well?”

Also there’s NO way I’ll be able to convince the one who saw the CP spam in the Raspberry Pi room to go back, and there’s no way I’m gonna recommend to my parents and shit that they use a chat app that very likely could spam them with it (not likely they’d find the public rooms, still not taking the chance.) I don’t really need to be known as “the guy recommending the CP app,” personally.

And I had to basically set it up for every contact I was able to convince, meanwhile when we switched to Delta Chat I just sent the invite link and they made accts and bam, no problem, and now the recent update made that even easier because instead of just defaulting to nine.testrun.org it picks a few relays at random, so now I don’t even have to set up multi-relay for them (aside from the contacts I got on before this update) next time I see them in person.

Yeah I gave up on Element/Matrix too, for other reasons.

First of all the clients don’t work for shit and every update breaks something IME, got tired of that. Also for all of my normie friends and family it was “too hard” to use, I disagree, but regardless what good is a chat app if I have nobody to use it with? Further, the one friend I did convince to join also joined the public Ras Pi room, and some dickhead posted CP in it, he saw, and then I had to explain “no, this isn’t a ‘pedo app,’ that is spam and they get banned,” and I’m gonna be real I don’t want to have to do that again and I can’t in good faith recommend my mother use a goddamn app that very possibly could spam her with CP.

So, I moved to Delta Chat. Fixes all those problems, no complaints. Easy to use, easy onboarding, no discoverability, just chats.

Lol my mistake, replied to you while drunk last night, “close it, cause moon brighter than you think” is what I would have said were I actually alive lol.

Actually might still be a little drunk, coffee time!

Open that hoe up, lets more light in.

(I know, this is also about photographs)

Actually, you can take a good pic of the moon, set your aperture to f11, then your iso and shutter speed to about 200 and 1/200s, try and adjust as needed. Also a decent telephoto lens helps of course.

Idk if you can do that on a phone, but with a “real” camera it can be done for sure and they actually come out pretty OK.

It was, and it was written by Ernie Bushmiller, not whoever this copycat is.

(Also written by others after Ernie’s death, but not like this, ugh.)

Hey indie games: If it could run on the PS Vita, make a .vpk and sell it on your site (like the recent wave of GBC games), the vita modders will come!

Tbf, manipulating masses through lies and propaganda itself is a form of robbing them of informed consent, so even they are not actually “fine” with him, they’re just not paying attention to the right sources and are still being lied to/propagandized.

But also he has the lowest approval rating of any president in history, so that’s a lot of “nobody.” Also three(?) high profile assassination attempts? Sound like a guy “nobody” cares about to you? Seems like at least 3 people do. Constant protests, yadda yadda, yeah sure, nobody cares, that’s why they’re protesting him, “Get out or don’t, whatever, who cares?” Yup, that’s what all the signs say.

Nobody cares? I guess that’s why nobody talks about it.

“Constantly you say?”
