Email in general is hell. It’s meant to be individual letters but has now become the most unholy form of IM.

Okay this article is dog shit but Google Drive has absolutely awful search and is missing so many basic features even for things like finding out where a file is so I’m not defending Google there, the author makes a bad critique but it’s a thing worth critiquing.

Subjectively, material design in its newest iteration is just also ugly as sin too, android 8 - android 10 was peak android, get these fucking pastels and overly large buttons off my phone and bring back the white/blue simplicity of yesteryear gosh darn it.

Every day the bait gets lower and lower effort

You don’t need PR for that necessarily but yeah I see your point.

That’ll just give more seats to reform.

How am I meant to fuck off from work for an hour to go to the store? Even if grocery stores sold electronics which they don’t, everything closes at 6PM latest. On Saturdays it’s 3PM, even if I could carry enough to shop for an entire week ahead on my back.

I mean, I don’t think my example is an extreme, like I work from home every single day and have always done so, there are no longer stores around me that sells any electronics, and as I don’t drive, I get it delivered, which is the primary and most of the time the only way of buying anything that isn’t groceries for me these days.

If anything my example is an extremely down to earth grass-touch-core argument built off explicitly literally what my life is in the most literal sense wholly about the basic material realities of it, and it highlights the problems with their their absolutist internet-extremist-silliness-core-ass rhetoric. I don’t get in any way how it’s “extreme” or “equivalent” to the other user’s batshit insane propositions.

Are you one of those “everything is equivalent both sides” type people?

Are you implying I in any way disagree with the actual rhetoric of “let’s have less car-centric infrastructure?” Because I don’t and I never stated that. Moreover I do agree with you though, I don’t drive and I hate cars anyway. I just don’t like that user’s rhetoric because it smells like degrowth ecofash type rhetoric, which is extremely harmful and leads to NIMBYism and as such worsening material conditions and issues like homelessness and poverty traps and enriches landlords.

Environment good because it makes things for people better, not as a thing unto itself. On that basis and only on that basis with that reasoning as the guiding and completely overriding principle - I agree, fuck cars. 👍

So I guess we’re gonna have a far right government next election then when this is inevitably dragged out until the rich can buy the election by drumming up enough hate to make the average Brit spit in their tea if they thought it’d make immigrants/transes/youth sad.

I’m sorry to soapbox about politics in a tech thread, but this charade of “law and order” and endless debate about the actual merits of the actual lawsuit under the actual law are so tiresome when these corpos just bypass this shit anyway.

How are deliveries going to work, exactly? If I order a computer, what, I can’t have it anymore because some dumb ecofash said so? And before you go all “hurr durr go 2 ze store” I can’t, I WFH, as should everyone who can, in part - to save the environment.

It’s not about empathy or kindness or any of that dumb shit.

It’s about the simple fact that capitalist economics can’t exist in perpetuity without an exploitable population, if most people are no longer able to work, push enough people to enough desperation and they will kill you if it keeps them warm, and there ain’t enough bullets in the world that’ll stop all of them.

On the other hand if you make sure the people have their bread, then one of them might become the nurse that’ll make you comfortable when you pass away, or a scientist that’ll cure you when you’re sick, or a techbro who’ll invent something that you’ll like, or a writer who’ll make a good show you’ll enjoy, or whatever, really.

If you’re a true egoist, you’re an altruist also. Libertarianism would’ve been cool, but it just isn’t actually possible, and people like Musk aren’t libertarians, no libertarian could argue against trans people because a true lolbert would know it’s people’s economic freedom all the same.

People like Musk are actual nazis who keep the wignaggery on the DL because it’s unpalatable. They’re not your friends, but collectively (rather than individually), humanity is your friend.

Hello Reddit!

While on the surface I’m very tempted to say “broken clock”, it’s far more likely that their aim isn’t a gift to the commons, but to instead have the free reign to stomp out smaller players in the data harvesting space with raw monetary power through corporate espionage and hoard more data and create better AI models to replace more workers and cut costs.

What did you mean by this in the image

It’s a shame the nu-Trek is utter mass appeal apolitical dogshit that has nothing to say about anything except that Alex Kurtzman should not be let anywhere near a production of anything other than a Big Mac.

EDIT: By the way, if anybody is looking for something with the same sort of tight drama, clever storytelling and progressive politics (but not virtue signaling for its own sake) and confronting complicated issues and good people doing what’s right overcoming them, but would also like it to be a bit more human, down to earth and character centric then trek veteran writer of TNG and DS9 - Ronald D. Moore and I - his biggest fan girl this side of the internet - would like to invite you to watch For All Mankind.

It is an alternate history show where the soviets “win” the race to the moon and the space race continues and every season is set in a new decade, or at least that is the tagline because underneath the goofy premise and out of context clips of the sea dragon or nuclear space planes or AK-47s wielded by cosmonauts on the moon, what you’ll find is a tightly written complex drama about an ensemble cast of characters and their changing relationships to themselves, each other and the tumultous world around them.

The show covers everything from the consequences of operation paperclip, misoginy, red scare and cold war distrust to civil rights, feminism, yuppie culture, privatisation of space, startup culture, homophobia, labour unions, psychedelics, PTSD, opioids, threat of nuclear war, militarization and so, so much more.

I really can’t say enough good things about it. Oh yeah - the licensed song choice is great. Petula Clark’s The World Song, M83, Smashing Pumpkins, John Lennon screaming his lungs out in ‘Well Well Well’? And that earworm song from actual IRL North Korea which is the first and only song I’ve ever heard of theirs? If only they didn’t use ‘Come as You Are’ but oh well nothing’s perfect.

The first season is a bit rough in places at the start as the show finds it’s footing and the stupid generically modern intro animation and music really sucks but S2 is an actual masterpiece of TV.

Go lick the boot more. There’s more to the world than some fucking computers. Go download yourself some grass and touch it.

If you’re running externally, use a cloudflare tunnel.

No ports exposed = no attack surface. This is 99% of security.

HTTPS is provided by CF although only secures comms between your devices to CF, not CF to your Pi, meaning CF can see clear text technically.

If that’s not good enough then use a VPN server like PiVPN and put it on your pi and OpenVPN on your devices. *This has nothing to do with paid VPN Client subscriptions like Tunnelbear or Proton or whatever. *

You will be running a VPN server on your pi to which you will connect from your devices on which you want to watch JF by downloading a device profile to your devices and opening it in the OpenVPN app.

You do not need to pay for anything at all anywhere ever (other than something for DDNS and a domain name), use a strong password and make sure your JF is updated if there’s any CVE. Expose nothing else to the internet.

You don’t even need HTTPS at that point or any certs, a VPN will encrypt your traffic anyway. The only cleartext you’ll have is between your VPN and your JF, and if both are on the pi then the only MITM vector is literally inside your Pi which is unlikely to have any issues.

PGP also has a more identifiable structure and they could ban PGP and then scan for it easily based on PGP headers. KryptKey is more censorship resistant because the outputs can’t be scanned for as easily since data can be encrypted with normal words.

That answers my question as to why KryptKey wasn’t just encrypting using PGP.

Still, I’d very much like an app similar to KryptKey that uses PGP encryption, or an app I can copy-paste plaintext into and get PGP ciphertext out of like Kleopatra, do you know of any?

A question about kryptKey - why Signal protocol instead of just letting me import a PGP key and paste plain text in and use PGP for encryption and get ciphertext oit, like Kleopatra or GPG? I use that for DNMs and it’s swell.

Damn, TIL. Downloading now.
