mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite privacy-friendly FOSS tools for daily use?2·7 hours agoNothing could be worse than an Electron client. Honestly for me it’s XMPP > Delta Chat > Matrix > SSignal/Telegram/etc. Matrix integrations (apps) don’t even work on any client and they moved the bloated server improvements into a walled garden
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite privacy-friendly FOSS tools for daily use?2·8 hours agoCorrect me if I’m wrong, but I heard that Matrix client is lagging behind the others in terms of cryptography?
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human VisitorsEnglish12·14 hours agoYeah endless waves of attempted edits to tone down war crimes is the tip of the iceberg, a subject I will circle back to in the coming days. This is a bizarre comment on several levels. So is he less right-wing because he is British? It doesn’t matter if you enjoy particular sects of Ayn Rand worshippers, it makes no difference to me. The Gamergate business is the typical damage control response you see out of any site owner amenable to Nazis. Exactly like reddit admins. “We don’t take sides against the right-wing ☝️🤓 they broke site rules fair and square.” Typical bs. Nerds think everyone else is as singlemindedly gullible as them, invariably. Unfortunately the legal system demands people adhere to it
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ Organizers Predict Peaceful Protest, Fear Trump Crackdown1·15 hours agoAmerican internal politics are largely irrelevant, I’m not a diplomat. You are currently being reminded of why municipal and state policy adjustments are a waste of time.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ Organizers Predict Peaceful Protest, Fear Trump Crackdown12·15 hours agoI am well aware that the protest is meant to accomplish nothing. Not only that it denounces the prospect of active resistance against ICE.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Russian troops liberate eight communities in Ukraine operation over week — top brass42·15 hours agoIt’s funny how you can tell which insults have made liberals the most sore in the past. You would never call your despised Putler an Uncle Tom if not for the psychic wound left from that term being levied at Obama and others like him.
That’s the typical Timothy Snyder/Hannah Arendt breakdown of authoritarianism and fascism, yes, which is always problematic as these definitions could easily apply to any western leader or the subimperialist regimes they prop up, your entire logic is inconsistent. But of course you know that. Poinring out the inconsistencies in your irrational beliefs would be a waste of time, not only because of your belligerence, but because fascism can only coherently analyzed historically.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ Organizers Predict Peaceful Protest, Fear Trump Crackdown12·15 hours agoYou’re attacking a strawman to make up for the emptiness left over after your symbolic protest that did absolutely nothing.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Trump says Modi has agreed to stop buying Russian oil2·16 hours agoIf Europe can buy Russian oil laundered through blending, there is no reason India can’t do the same. If they follow through on this at all
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•do we have any China specific lemmy or fediverse related instances?131·16 hours agoThat is not a good reason not to ask a question here.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Mastodon@lemmy.ml•Any mastodon instances friendly to Marxist-Leninists?1·17 hours agoThe sites are riddled with Zionists. It’s about as left as British Labour.
mistermodal@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•"Zionist ceasefire" violations escalate with Gaza airstrike3·16 hours agoProbably should have posted this to videos since it isn’t a direct headline from the source, which is Iranian news not Telegram etc it is new
To be expected as ISIS failed miserably against Hamas without IDF overwatch
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Do protests like No Kings still matter? Here’s what experts say12·2 days agoIt’s really approachable imo because a lot of USonians at least remember some of the history classes they took on the failed reconstruction. WEB Dubois has a good ass book on the reconstruction good complement to Losurdo’s book, anywyas, if anything stumps you ask Lemmygrad. I’m putting a cork in ths arguing abt No Kings bc I promised to write up shit abt why I think that Mangione guy is innocent + the journalist who put his manifesto out is really suspicious + the relationship between the CIA and alt media. Read Doug Valentine’s CIA As Organized Crime (just search it on that same site) he’s a huge liberal but the book still rips a pretty big hole in the facade of the alt media
I will be back in like 4 days im looking at my notes in 2021 and i think i was able to See It
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•The war against privacy: governments coming after anonymous SMS receiving services2·2 days agoNo yeah I mean this is completely on a different level I just amuse myself by promoting XMPP. There are other phone gateways for it I just need to call Turtle Islanders.

mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Buying a best-of-album is like giving the artist/label money for a playlist of their songs they created2·2 days agoThe default way something operates and how much attention is required to change that is actually very important for the user experience. Not to mention the sound engineering that often goes into it

mistermodal@lemmy.mlto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Piefed finally fixes Lemmy’s ugly post URLsEnglish263·2 days agoWho cares about URL legibility in 2025? 😂 Aren’t you guys busy making like 7 different apps where URLs are even less visible?
mistermodal@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Do protests like No Kings still matter? Here’s what experts say34·2 days agoNo it doesn’t. Logic doesn’t change based on the speaker. Your username is a pedophile who supports Israel (and tedious wordcount-padder), and now that I have noticed it you are blocked for being too dense, just like his tasteless books.
Ayy lmao
