I’d still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren’t for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software… but snaps still suck. I don’t like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can’t be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.

That may be true but vetoing something new and killing ACA are completely different things. Biden wanted to expand on the ACA instead because it would have been able to cover 97% of Americans. So it’s not like Biden was against universal healthcare. On the other hand Republicans are well on their way to kill any hope of universal healthcare and social security. At least with Biden/Harris we would have had one or the other. My mother was saved by Obamacare because she couldn’t get health care with her preexisting conditions.

What are you talking about my dude Trump literally gutted Title X, Medicaid and ACA/Obamacare which is literally closest thing we had to universal healthcare. We need to take some lessons from California there.

Only records trump is breaking are assassination attempts and impeachments.

I feel like the wide and often free availability of narcan and improved quality of safer drugs like weed are making a difference.

+1 for decentralized or federalized services gonna plug matrix here I’ve used it for 5 years avoid using matrix.org homeserver

I added whisper and have never looked back. Sometimes it’s not exactly right but it’s usually obvious and funny 🤣

There’s no way a judge is gonna allow this. Outrageous. The language is way out of scope.

It doesn’t matter if it is a business entity operating under a government then you can never really know because gag orders. Centralized servers can be blocked. Telegram and Signal apps could have a back door. This is why open stack is important. And not just the code. Also encryption is default for p2p one on one conversations. It’s not in channels by default because it can complicate public use.

Yeah the main thing is that the ports and addresses can change and it’s nbd. From a firewall perspective, it’s impossible to block them all. Especially when the clients are doing mundane https requests. Even if the server goes down or partial connectivity, the channel can still be used.

It cannot be easily blocked especially if you use your own homeserver every homeserver replicates the channel and it can operate without the original server! That’s why signal and telegram are inherently flawed.

I can answer this! All matrix calls are over https APIs. Ports and addresses are stored in a text file on the base domain or in DNS txt entry.

Yeah I’ve been trying to figure out why republicans want to cancel student debt forgiveness so bad as it literally taking money out of the economy. Even worse, that money is already spent. I guess they assume people just hold onto all that extra money, now the government wants it back… Like what the duck. My credits already shot because of this mess.

Nothing phone is such a fucking joke there are 0 replacement parts available. I broke my camera a few weeks after I got my nothing phone 2 and your only option is to ship the phone to the UK. The advertise as consumer friendly but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

That doesn’t make it any less vile.
