Hey man, this thread is well past the point where responding to unhinged comments is justifiable. Not on principle (I would respond to infinity comments online if I could, because I could help so many others. 🫀), but because this level of dogpiling indicates I can easily summon all of you whenever I desire, simply by dropping a truth deuce here. Nevertheless I will make one last, compassionate exception: You need to seek help. Regardless of whether people think responding with disgust to utterly debased reply guys is a sign I am mentally ill, what you’re doing here is grieving malicious advertising claims that were made to you about “activist software”. It remains unclear to me how a messenger being used by Jeff Bezos and US government officials is a mark of reliability and antifascism. There should be no exceptions to our standards and critical thinking. If they seem necessary, it is because the standards and critical thinking are flawed and inadequate.

The pudding, not the mindless bootlicking. I like when you guys try to be funny.

Well yeah you can tell because we only saw a tiny sliver of his operation. We didn’t even get Wexner. Netanyahu was celebrating like he thought Ehud Barak got burned worse than him. Diddy wasn’t even in it so you know there are dozens of Epsteins. Clearly capital needs a way to bind together the self-interests of ruling class cliques and coordinate these ill-conceived illegal human research projects across different universities, even continents.

I would really love for some of the people here talking about how it’s a good thing this “talent” is retained to explain what it is exactly these people do. I am 100% certain they hate these people in their own companies. But somehow when they see it in an NGO corporate structure it’s all sunshine and daisies.

The problem is that NGOs and charities are just a way for capital to manage social stability and will never have that kind of expansiveness. It’s like trying to build socialism by starting worker cooperatives in a bourgeois democracy.

Is that good?

Their job is to ensure the nonprofit doesn’t suddenly start making something which can actually help them hide from the US government. Which would be possible since they have the talent.

Why are they transparent again? Because they’re a US-run NGO operation to trick activists into using police software that leaks their data. NGOs aren’t some kind of anticapitalist freedom fighters, guys, neither is christian charity. There is a reason why the US government and big tech throws its weight around with these things and it’s not altruism.

The shittalking will continue until the encryption improves. It’s MY thread and you can’t have it!

Get some good software on your devices that doesn’t have a lifespan according to the goodwill of the feds, and have a wonderful morning.

Guy who wants to continue doing capitalism

JDPON Don strikes again. People got their hopes up too much when he acted like he was axing USAID programs. Just a change of management and perhaps some messaging.

I’m here to educate people, not nitpick people and try to pass off my low standards for “secure software” and US government-dependent NGOs as an interest in sustainable OPSEC.

No, not everyone who fails to relate to your American experience “fails to get out much”. It’s more than you’re incapable of understanding why someone would avoid centralizing “privacy services” in countries that run the global capitalist surveillance state. What you’re doing is derailing the thread + demanding spoon feeding + begging the question. Your motivation is a wounded ego because someone said you made a bad choice—one that is as easy to fix as installing and uninstalling services.

Yeah that’s why you guys focus on shit like “I was able to convince my grandma to use it” - you don’t understand what is wrong with Signal technically.

Yeah no shit you already read it they post it every single time. I don’t think any of them have actually read it, the problems he is complaining about were solved ages ago or by two clicks, once. The guy actually argues for people to use Telegram because they have disabilities and software is hard. An absolute masterclass.

What would be the downside if the world was made of pudding

You people have zero awareness of the limitations of your own knowledge.

Dude, don’t start

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA lemmy.ml/comment/24436351 I FUCKING KNEW IT YOU PEOPLE ONLY KNOW THAT ONE BLOG

Yes, posting wrong opinions would be against the theme of the post, and in fact my account as a whole. That’s pretty standard for programmers who wear bunny suits. If we keep going here one of them is going to show up and post that Soatok person’s blog.

Oh look the Americans are here to pretend that highly-paid tech workers are normal human beings. I wonder if that has anything to do with the demographics of the Reddit-fuelled Hitler instances. Worth consideration. 🤔

Nice argument dude, unfortunately I don’t share your tendency to form parasocial relationships with US government-funded “privacy software” and prefer recommending open source projects utilizing extensible internet standards for longevity + reliability, so I’m unlikely to be convinced by your playground “what is he your boyfriend” antics. You’re clearly suffering from some serious cognitive dissonance, so take a step back. I don’t know you, I shared this with the community publicly in the hopes people can defend themselves better against surveillance. What motivates you, seriously? Why turn to personal attack? How did you end up at this point in your life? My advice is learn how to take advice who know better than you. It can change your life, and it’s important for operating in communities that value authority from expertise rather than business jargon and ideological slapfighting.

my family and friends are intractable You’re probably annoying + not my problem. You clearly aren’t very knowledgable about this, so I doubt you would even be able to explain it to them. XMPP and Delta Chat are easier to set up. You’re just arguing that laziness is a virtue. Signal is how we survived ICE in Minneapolis Serious “it was revealed to me in a dream” shit that most people would think was excessive if I made it up as a joking example of Signal defenders. Signal is funded by the US government and collects + leaks metadata. The US government uses metadata to target hacking of the device itself. Metadata is more valuable for surveillance than message content, it is used by police + intelligence to fabricate evidence of “terror networks” including teenagers in Chicago texting each other. Minneapolis drove out ICE because they had guns and physically planted themselves between the psychos and the people they wanted to terrorize. If they were stupid enough to use Signal (or encouraged by people like you) or bring their phones downtown, they will be mopped up before they can do anything useful. Fortunately for the feds, Americans barely even bother to walk around with signs. The ability of these companies to operate centralized services in countries that serve gag orders should make things obvious, but fortunately you people have been trained by social media to require epistemological proof of wrongdoing.

The company asks for donations while receiving funding from the US government and scraping metadata from activists. You people are absolute marks.

We already know it’s a honeypot, this is circumstantial evidence about their role in sapping donations from the wider open source ecosystem. Keep donating to them if you don’t value your money.

well yes, taking millions from the US government to dupe people like you into slathering yourself in metadata is the right move. redditors will justify anything once locked into the circlejerk

adb is currently main developer for a fork of Delta Chat, a messenger that actually gives you privacy. you got your messenger recommendation from congresspeople. think about that for a second and how it makes you look to technically competent people like us

LMAO @ everyone who would have denied this was true groveling at the feet of the US government’s spectacularly abd inexplicably generous Open Technology Fund after devoting 3000 comments to bashing what remains of Firefox for [checks notes] making the UI better so the community doesn’t need to spend their time making sidebars and vertical tabs… You guys are worms. Today I get to be the rock. 🥴

Hey it worked

addendum (to ensure someone gets hopping mad):

Beastmoded

Funny as hell to crash out over this like they’re completely disassociated from their school-bombing colleagues. The entire supply chain is complicit past the point that wields monopoly/monopsopy, which you are directly adjacent to and compacent towards. Where does that leave us, banned man? Where does it leave us??

SLS is an irritant in that soap is an irritant and SLS is a strong soap. Scrub your hands excessively and see if they get irritated most soaps. People use too much gd shampoo

[murdering thousands of people] guys do you realize your leaders are as bad as mine? can you be serious? i’m trying to elect White Obama 3

Anarchists delfate class tension by providing right wingers with ineffectual targets that paints itself & dissuades the masses from organizing except “autonomously” (organizing without organizing), they increase international tension by discrediting those who push back on propaganda directed at nation states the US wants to dismember. Sometimes they actively support proxy groups like the YPG. What happened to them btw? Haven’t checkrd in a while. Evangelicals and just antichrist worshippers so that’s all baked in. Anarchist movements at least historically had a different character in that they could be a part of coalitions. Those ones mostly became Marxists. Like the Maoists and Trots, the anarchists in the west are kept on life support to act as flypaper

If by bringing about the end times you mean slavishly adhering to imperialist ideology, sure.
