But they’re quests

I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.

You are absolutely right.

They try to spin it as “trying to get around no personal electronics allowed in the SCIF”, but what if it’s a low-side DoD machine?

The biggest issue I see is if signal isn’t vetted to run on DoD computers, and quite frankly that’s a slap on the wrist at most.

For reference, you can do as much damage as you could from signal by logging into Gmail.

Unfortunately if you take alternatives out of the running you’re kind of just left with impotent rage against one of the biggest companies in the world and their shareholders.

Why would Microsoft ever care about some mildly upset users on Lemmy when they know said users are locked into their product for life?

No - he’s forcing others to work 36 hour shifts then yelling at them for not being fast enough.

That’s textbook anecdotal evidence…

Hey, you’re a gang member with a criminal history in El Salvador, let’s get you deported.

What’s that, you say you’re not one?

Prove it without due process.

What’s that, you couldn’t do that? Too bad, the administration doesn’t care and you’re now in a foreign prison (and maybe dead)

Do you see why due process is important?

These are the same folks that say the civil war was fought for “states rights”.

They have no problem with ignoring details.

Holy shit I just felt like I lived his life vicariously with that comment.

Trump could open the doors of hell and it would still be no excuse for having voted for evil.

Do you view “evil” as a binary value or a numerical value that can be counted?

If you think going down on someone is only a submissive act you haven’t gone down on someone long enough, or teased them enough.

GOOD GUYS, BAD GUYS, AND EXPLOSIOOONS, AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

You implied they were a Nazi, I’m not surprised by some bruskness if the accusation was entirely off the mark.

I found it very uplifting that in her own written piece, she spent much of it highlighting and telling the stories of others. Sure, it’s unfortunate that this has made the headlines due to her being a white woman, but what she does with the spotlight is admirable.

The part that I learned the most from. I had no idea the detention centers were for profit:

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.

100%. This is just due to the cost of hitting their servers in case you can’t reach your network

Right, but IIRC anyone can go on the plex.tv website and use shared servers due to the “proxy”

“They’re hurting the wrong people!!”
