I think super-apps are the way to go, only way to prevent one company from monopolizing click-stream data for advertising.

some apps already do this and their users don’t suffer from the same issue (granted, they have different issues)

huh, yeah that’s fair i did not actually notice that :/

fr fr no cap 🧢

I see this online, how true is it though? like do I need a bag of sugar or just a few sprinkles.

It’s unfortunate that the solution is as simple as it is and it’s not being implemented.

Yeah I guess if I could add free time and money and make it so everyone is happy I would add it.

I guess, so the law at present seems mostly made up. Like, it can’t deal with glaring issues without a precedent and what amounts to a long-winded ritual before significant issues are considered.

I guess I don’t see why a corp can’t be accountable like how some people who commit petty crimes are ‘held accountable’ (i.e. shot, killed, worked in labour camps).

i think one small addition

1. decrease influence of bribing lobbying

there was an indication 45 would be bad, during his presidency he did a bunch unexpectedly, that means my poor imagination has no clue how awful some of the stuff he implements will be

i’m trying to go to my desk to get started, it’s just, there’s all these unfinished and poor abandoned projects scattered everywhere…

i’ll keep trying though!

yeah this was my kinda sense, why do fans tell me it’s simple? i like brandon sandersons system, doubly so because he has like different implementations of the same magic system in different series in the same universe (‘cosmere’)

Hi, could you touch on why F-Droid is less safe? Is it because they package (I think that’s the term?) stuff themselves?

I think they wanted to be, they were advertising themselves!

I have a newer Redmi Phone and I can install an app at least twice. There’s the ‘second space’ as well which is like having a cordoned off user. I use a different fingerprint or PIN and it takes me there.

SimpleX looks neat.

Yeah, fair. It can’t delete your messages to the extent a centralized system, and that’s an indication of the lack of centralized control? It’s a different threat model I think many find satisfying (though perhaps not most).

Yeah, my b, I was a little provoked there, watching lectures is one of my favorite pastimes :3

I think that’s fair, maybe if it is longer having ‘chapters’ and other ways to organize information topically would be best.

I do listen to or watch academic seminars and lectures, do you think the same criticisms apply? I have a sense it does for some of the humanities one’s I’ve attended or watched, though much of that may be because I have no background and no idea what is being talked about.

I use signal as well, might be worth looking into these two links to better manage expectations.

First here and second here.
