Seems to be a misunderstanding. We are in agreement. I mentioned it because it seems that was something that was debated. Not because I’m against the initiative

She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”

I think everybody agrees that “digital ownership must be respected”. But if you check, you don’t own the games. You own licences. You may keep the licence after servers shut down. It is total BS, but we allowed it.

I have to agree that killing online only games makes sense because they can’t be forced to run the server forever, not they can be forced to release the source code. But offline / solo / bots should keep working.

It can be 1000x faster because it analog. Analog things take very very little time to compute stuff. We don’t generally use them because they are very hard to get the same result twice and updating is also hard

Nah. The Chinese surveillance company would still sell your data to the us

This is a very stupid rant and I already know people will downvote me(it has happened before)

The internet is no long just a network of computers. It has at least 2 centralized points

• icaan controls names and numbers. That includes DNS and IP addresses. When the Ukraine Russia war started they were asked to disconnect Russia from the internet by rejecting their IPS. They said no, but COULD have yes. Also, companies like google and amazon can get their own TLD (.aws and .ggl) you you and I can’t because we are not buddies with them
• certificate authorities: there is a fucking huge list of companies that are allowed to sign certificates. No, you can’t just get on that list, you have to ask permission and be audited. If ONE of them fucks up, there are serious consequences for EVERYBODY (yes, I know certificate pinning is a thing, but still)

Edit: oh. Also email. Want to host your own email? Good luck, everything is marked as spam, and you can’t do it on a home connection because the port is blocked

Have you actually tried this?

OK, cool. So the answer is no then? you didn’t really answer.

At some point you are relying on someone not fucking up something somewhere. At the very least you need your ISP not fucking up your connection speed or something similar.

I’m not saying that xmpp sucks or that they are right on saying that there are not alternatives (although I am inclined to agree). What I’m saying is that your server is not a reference point to compare against, because you operate at immensely different scales and requirements

Does it allow low latency HD encrypted video calls across the globe?

Eight Sleep confirmed that while AWS was down, the metrics collection system was still working using internal memory. This means the dead man’s switch is engaged, and any attempt to power it off would violate the terms of service, causing the bed’s very obvious human-sized mousetrap to have its safety disengaged.

are you being dense on purpose? sender and recipient are both users. never twitter.

i’m not saying that twitter’s messaging is secure. the opposite. what i’m saying is that you statement of “All end to end means is there’s a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter” is 100% objectively wrong.

That is NOT end to end encryption. That is transport layer encryption. So basically SSL

End to end is from sender to recipient. No one in the middle should be able to read anything

Can you hook me up? I don’t know how to find those torrents/indexers/trackers

Are there any cool i2p sites or apps? Since it doesn’t have exit nodes I never found a reason to use it.

Yeah. AFAIK there is no messenger that purposely delays your messages anywhere from 1 second to ,I don’t know, a month? To stop someone from correlating your time online with the time messages are sent. That would be insanity. But it does increase privacy and anonymity a bit

Because no one will ever send you a message

~/s it was a joke. Hold you horses xmpp fans. Im not attacking anyone here~

Such a high horse for such a tiny person.

1. On simplex you can “start chatting” asynchronously
2. You didn’t say “start chatting”. You said “start sending messages” which is something you do with people every day
3. “Start chatting” and “continue chatting” do not mean what you imply the mean. There is no distinction between them as “the absolute first time” and “all the others”. I can start talking again with a friend I haven’t talked to in months. I can also start talking about a previous topi (" me and my girlfriend started talking once again about having children")

So… You know… Maybe get off the horse? It’s not that everyone around you is an idiot is that you failed to communicate… Or you are an idiot

Simplex works async. You might be thinking of briar

Love signal but it’s NOT anonymous

Edit: signal. Not simpkex

+1 for simplex. I don’t use tor, but if you want the best of the best, use it
