i think itd be useful for something simple and single use, like you can hang it on a wall near your door to see when the next bus or train is arriving. itd use barely any energy

for reading a book though, idk why he wouldnt just get something like the bigme highbreak. sure its more expensive but its a smartphone too

Synthesis: snails are cars

The decision was made according to the report after the Commission became aware of the group’s existence last month and deemed the risk of compromise too high. While there is no evidence yet that communication has actually been intercepted, the threat situation has escalated. Just recently, a private phone call between a journalist and an EU official was intercepted and published. Insiders also report sophisticated phishing attempts. These were intended to trick cabinet members into revealing their Signal PIN codes, thus causing them to lose control of their accounts.

looks like theyre concerned about targeted phishing attacks and organizations being unable to control user accounts from the top down (and thus read their communications) in order to reinstate and do damage control surrounding a negligent user after an attack. ultimately the user is getting tricked into revealing their password, so… human element. perhaps matrix would be best for large organizations like this, for individuals however simplex chat has no identifier tied to the account and in order to compromise a chat theyd need direct access to the computer or the simplex database export afaik, but all programs are vulnerable in that way.

im an employed security professional, grapheneos is the way

i like bazzite/fedora atomic a lot, i also quite enjoy vanillaos (if you like debian). if you have an issue on any of them its trivial to rollback to a previous patch and pin that patch until someone does something about it

actually this is what the captain wants to see in his gay lover, mulan

1/1/1

every linux user is jesus confirmed

your friend terrifies me

Eventually: must be in Antarctica to use this distro

I really want simplexchat to evolve and get more features. If they ever make a lot of mod tools and the possibility to make giant servers with thousands with chatrooms like discord I could see it having mass appeal due to the ease of “signup”

yeah with billions of people on the internet idk how you separate the noise on this, especially if you dont mention your location ever

Do you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain?

its the sauna

seems like a higher existence than being human

yeah if its not in a city its probably not worth it

try it before you knock it, i personally love it and find it makes commutes way shorter and more convenient. im also like, a tiny disabled woman and can easily do this so if i can anyone can

I just think it’s interesting people are so against bikes in winter when they also love skiing

oh, ive been able to do it just wearing a wool dress in -20c. built different i guess 🤷‍♀️

my tip is to wear good waterproof (and thus windproof) boots and mittens (not gloves)

Lipo and silicon carbon lithium batteries are a thing, you can also just wrap some wool around the base of the bike. I use one in 4 foot snow all the time

yeah i hope matrix just fixes things up to make the experience smoother. seems to be taking them forever. it not being on by default is a nonstarter im not going to explain to my non tech friends how to encrypt their messages. this is basically the only real reason why signal is so great, its easy and preset out of the box. simplex seems good too and is making more progress than matrix it seems, idk how many users it can have in one chat though
