dont have a smart phone. get a land line. write letters. if you job requires you have a cellphone. no you dont, get a new job. or live illegally in a handmade cabin in the woods.

better yet, deny your brain oxygen until you are legally brain dead. that way the government cant read your thoughts.

i would say you can thank me later, but if you follow my advice, you likely wont be able to. so, you’re welcome.

whats the tesseract list?

im out here wondering why anyone would hand anyone credit card information to watch already downloaded pirated content.

open source to me means open source, not open/paywall/ source.

i prefer my open source free with a lil jank. as god intended.

no no, i mean not sufficient in the way that cant handle voice and video calls with a stable connection between multiple people.

we wanted a discord alternative that allowed us most or all of the features of discord for our DnD campaigns and streaming to one another. it just wasnt stable for more than two or three people. let alone five lol.

not dissing it though, light tools always have their place. its just difficult enough trying to explain to a passive group of 30+ year olds that discord is the devil and we need to own the means of communication without offering a smooth(ish) transition process with similar quality and features.

i like how light it is, but its just not sufficient for a 5 person DnD/gaming group like mine.

be the change you wish to see in the world.

now is the perfect time to assist in this developing landscape and make into something we can actually call our own.

Matrix + Element.

It’s open source, decentralized (federated), supports voice/video, roles, persistent rooms, and you can self-host if you want full control. It’s basically the only thing that feels like a real discord replacement without being locked into one company’s servers.

theres no way that wouldnt be gamified and taken advantage of. the whole idea behind open source is that it subverts the (programmed) urge to provide knowledge and products for profit, rather than the betterment of society.

if there is always a monetary incentive, it undermines the work of freeing people from paid slop, digital enslavement, and subscription services. it is a work of passion, and love, and it should remain unchained by something as illusory and temprorary as money.

that being said we do “live in a society” and people need to eat. if you use a program a lot and have money to spare, donate to your devs. we shouldnt lock open source behind a pay wall. that defeats the purpose of open source. devs are always more than welcome to do a hybrid of open and closed source of they wish.

linux just feels better, quicker, more powerful from a user standpoint. also it doesnt spy on everything you do and use it to create a profile of you that will be used for god knows what, now, or in the future.

would it not be theoretically possible to run a virtual OS to use an app like that on a linux phone?

you know how easy it is to circumvent this?

relatively easy, its relatively easy. now you know.

canadian here. just weighing in.

some might be saying “hey im not gonna succumb to FOMO and buy a gun”

buy a fuckin gun.

this doesnt end when trump dies. this will go on long after hes dead, invest in your future safety.

buy a gun, practice, secure yourself, your friends, and your families.

i fucking hate guns. i think they are terrible things. but id rather be the person pulling the trigger and saving my life, or the lives of those i care for. or at least making them think twice before attacking others like me or mine.

i value my life more than that of a modern fascist nazi foot soldier. you should to.

prepare for the worst, because im not sure if yall have been paying attention. but things have been getting worse, every single second since 2016.

its not going anywhere unless you fight it.

bring a book and shove it under the lid to make it level, fuck em. i shit till my legs go numb.

people can already “vibe code” p2p encrypted apps for communications, its not that hard and it will only get easier to do.

HOWEVER. obviously not bullet proof, and once meaningful quantum computing combines with AI every keystroke and deleted message, every sneeze or fart you had near a smart phone or a router in your life will be recorded and accessed by it, at the will of its controllers.

every recorded secret will be known, or at least be accessible. the blackmail is gonna be off the chain hook. people are going to start doing things that make zero sense. and youll know why.

“in 2008, senator, you googled “how to tuck my wiener so i can fart into my urethra” in twelve separate variations, and when that didnt yield the results you wanted. you looked up “how to inject fart into urethra, safely”… now, you are going to vote yay on the children coal miners bill, or we’ll drop 2008s search history, and maybe take a look at 2014 to see how you discovered how you wanted to be a furrys “dog knotted bitch slave” while on vacation in vegas…looks like we have all the messages…every second of your visit was recorded by your cell phone and iWatch, all the way down to your heart rate spiking when “white fang” pegged you for the first time that weekend…so…its gonna be a…yay?”

the number is much higher than that, they just dont want to breach official “genocide status” before the work is done.

youd be dead a few moments after you shot the first one down. then you become a “hostile”

theres nowhere to hide when they know your intended destination and have access to bleeding age missile tech capable of targetting a fart from across the globe, let alone a cargo ship floating slowly across the ocean towards them.

i was until he decided to say the epstein list isnt real :(

regardless of outside views, we exist whether they like it or not. have for all time, will for all time.
