Reagan was able to do it by clicking his fingers. He wasn't exactly a dove.

I have tried them all, I just use XMPP through Cheogram (mobile) and Movim (desktop in browser) now. I have had success getting my contacts to switch since I never bugged them about any other messengers before. Plus I am willing to follow through with ultimatums of abandonment and they are well aware of that.

If you have any actually normal friends (no offense) you're going to have to use the regular phone network. XMPP has the best phone network gateway, I've bought like five Soprani.ca numbers. No it doesn't encrypt the regular phone network.

Delta/Arcane Chat is cool but due to everyone basically being an admin-level user in the chat, I strictly use it as a home base for real homies. I mainly use it to run one gajillion bots, check my emails, run Mastodon/Misskey fork accounts in one location, and send stuff/WebXDC apps to myself.

But just imagine how inconvenient that would be. Have you ever read the highly important liberal ideological tract "When You Give A Mouse A Cookie"? Winning is highly problematic for dems. They want to send donation emails and keep you in a constant spiral of dread forever.

Israel is not an entirely separate sovereign nation from the USA. Neither is Jordan, Bahrain, Egypt, South Korea, Japan, Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Hungary, France, the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Australia, Canada, Argentina, India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, or Singapore. Did I miss anyone? I got tired so I know I missed someone.

Probably spurred by the crushing knowledge I am the only person in the middle of this venn diagram + nobody else will ever give a fuck as much as me + how perfect and based I am

I've seen all kinds of justifications for it. I saw one of the more highly suspicious furries claiming that they have to use Signal because so many furries are disabled that they can't figure out how to use anything more complicated (which other options really aren't, they just insist on comparing it with Matrix which is god-awful and everyone comments on being viscerally disgusted by). People don't really need anything more fancy than iMessage. You're being babies. Just use your public borked and corrupt messengers and mentally sort them into the Facebook pile. If it's not secure from federal law enforcement, then it's not safe to have conversations on freely, since class consciousness, common sense, and human rights are illegal.

Sorry, I misunderstood, she means that due to being such a huge fan of Les Rallizes Denudes, she hijacked a plane and "did a zoom" towards the DPRK. Just when I thought Hawk Tuah couldn't get any better!

There's some acronym for this, EEE embrace extend extinguish right?

Yeah it's got something to do with that & development being split between Dendrite and Synapse. I don't even really care to know since having to dig up the flaws with it then getting argued with by proponents who don't like to talk about them makes me annoyed. Many Rust developers have a whole cyberpunk ideology that results in their justifications being peppered with political stuff that sounds straight out of Arab Spring-stan anarchist twitter circa 2016. It's 2025 and those guys have successfully turned Syria into ISIS land. Yet they won't stop crying - but, I digress! I do not trust any nonprofit dependent on the world's largest concentrations of finance capital.

Zoom = video conferencing app

All good. I just learned what Viber is today and I guess it replaced WhatsApp while I wasn't looking.

Synapse is the backend for Matrix and last I heard, people had been waiting a long time for an update, then it was announced the fixes were going to be on a premium version.

The larger issue is that Matrix (and Matterhorn and some others) development has been funded by NED technology initiatives, and is supported by big clients such as NATO and Reddit (or at least Reddit is using Matrix as a backend for their chats now). So they expect the public to keep their client system healthy while customizing software for the military intelligence arm of the imperialist countries. Meaning our interface will suck. Being reliant on these kinds of things is a long-term weakness.

Well the real workforce of Saudi Arabia is not handed those rights. I can't feel bad for them
