demesisx is the same person who you are accusing in this thread (demening_casually)? Certainly the usernames are similar.
Or are you just demonstrating that you can produce similar evidence if needed?
“demeaning casually” certainly describes their unacceptable behavior.
You failed to notice that demesisx made some comments at exactly the same time (to the second), which implies automation. That in intake is extremely damning.
No it isn’t a URL. But that would indeed be the way they could make it work. If they did that, then…
If you don’t have the app installed it installs it from the web site. If you have it installed then the app takes over instead of the web browser. That is how many apps work (eg Reddit).
And it uses same tech as Signal.
However getting friends to join Simplex is complicated by two annoyances:
(1) It gets confused by an invite URL coming from facebook (it doesn’t know to strip the appended Facebook tracking code - as trivial as it is).
(2) When the invite is via a QR code you must scan it with SimpleX not your native camera app. Invitees just give up.
I have exactly once as did a couple of my friends from the same stranger.
Article does suggest a workaround for that too. Can’t put everything into a headline.
Unless you live in an apartment.
Futo. Will try Heliboard once I get Graphene installed, thanks
Doesn’t even detect I am glide typing about half the time. Unusable on my Google Pixel 4a.
If you install lineage without gapps for example, I think you’ll have great privacy.
Lineage or Graphene, yes?
I just bought a second Pixel 4a and can therefore now afford the slight bricking risk to install Graphene or Lineage.
I don’t understand. If I am using Android already, how does calculator make privacy worse? Calculations are not exactly revealing.
And if I am using graphene, why would I consider using any Google app?
Yes, inequality of free speech due to billionaires owning the platforms. But how could we eliminate that?
You sound as optimistic as we were in the 90’s about the internet. We were naive about how it would play out.
Most people are not curious. That curiosity needs to be cultivated in school but it isn’t. I gave you the statistics which indicate that.
First Earthers are on the rise. 2% of my GenX and 4% of Millennials.
Switzerland is the only country with low tech direct democracy. I only see a dystopia coming and the only way I can think of to defend against it is to have better education in schools.
Half of US cannot read beyond 6th grade level.
About 40% don’t know it takes a year to orbit the sun (no they were not nitpicking about leap years).
A quarter don’t even know the Earth orbits the sun.
You don’t need neuromorphic hardware to get these facts right.
Thanks again, I appreciate the intricacies.
However I am no longer in favour of free speech. I used to adhere to the Voltairean principle: “I wholly disapprove of what you say—and will defend to the death your right to say it.”
However the shitshow of social media which has enabled MAGA and SovCits has me reluctantly accepting that free speech was a fantasy, an especially attractive one for its simplicity.
All of us computer geeks in the 90’s (and I do mean all) were evangelical about the internet ushering in a Renaissance in dissemination of truth. We were naive.
Of course the question of “Who should be the moderators?” arises but there is no simple answer. Am now worried Billionaires will convince the public that AI speaks only the truth.
Could have been better if Bernie forgot to turn his phone off and a Mario Brothers ring tone kicked in.
Read again: The US one is irrespective of citizenship.
TIL “US constitution guarantees the right to free speech to everyone in the US despite your citizen status” https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0415/1507664-j1-activism/
Not that the constitution matters to MAGA.
Does Germany have a similar section of their constitution?
The batches make sense. Thanks for helping keep Lemmy clean.
