Trump dismisses Signal security failure as

"Our failure".

Signal worked perfectly here: if you add a contact, they get the messages.

What failed was the Trumpist, like at everything else.

Since you mention stuff like "the video isn't important", "other services" (plural), I'd consider not just one alternative but several. The big problem with big name social media is that they provide a all-in-one experience that is designed for profit, and as such looks and acts worse than any of its independent parts (not to mention, the sum is artificially made more addictive to users).

  • For publishing campaign materials itself, all you need is a filehost or filebin - something like pastebin.com but that allows you to upload and organize any kind of files. Any of the offerings in the FOSS market will do, but if you are going to focus on posting quickie (rich¡) text documents that are easy to build and parse I'd suggest a Markdown-based document bin like Hedgedoc.
  • If your campaign is gonna run like a chat, XMPP / Jabber. There's servers like Prosody or ejabberd that are easy to set up.
  • If your campaign is gonna run in web "play by post" mode, any modern web forum system will do, for example Discourse. Heck, even oldie-style web forums might do, like phpBB.
  • Voice: Jabber has access to audio IIRC. I've also heard very good things about Mumble.

If anything they have human rights. There's also the minimum set of implicit rights that are prerequisite for the concept of eg.: allowing foreigners to request asylum. Now if your country didn't sign in those conventions, that's a whole ¿nother horde of issues.

Oh, do cry me a river while you're at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general or memes room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days...).

Don't they have universal unlocks for suitcases? They can just take a phone / laptop out, disassemble it quickly to clone the hard drive (or sometimes not even that, just power it on and use any of the various Israeli exploits they've bought) and presto, you can go on your merry way.

In their eyes, foreigners don't have rights.

So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.

Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?

This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don't, can't. We shouldn't (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.

If I'm talking with people about the topical thing which is why I joined a room in the first place, the last thing I want is a looping autoloops fruityloops annoyance. Plus, not autoplaying and autolooping them saves battery.

Excuse me, Jabber / XMPP is about as old as I am!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

XMPP / Jabber is better.

Just sell the car to a derby demolition show. We all win.

 

(Only half joking with the poll options, too.)

Today in our newest take on "older technology is better": why NAT rules!

 

Hablando en serio.

Todo el mundo habla de lo mal que está la educación, que los profesores, que los estudiantes y blah blah, y no estoy en desacuerdo que hay cosas ahí que están mal. Me podría mandar un ensayo en cómo no puede ser que una manga de pendejos de 12 vengan a amenazar a un profe en la sala. O que las salas en cuestión no deberían tener más de 20 alumnos.

Pero igual hay temas de método y de material de fondo, como este.

¿Por qué no es más común en Chile enseñar las cosas de una manera más atractiva? O al menos, más inmersiva que "copie el texto aprobado 131 veces". O, no sé, cuando yo estaba en la media la manera que nos enseñaban castellano era penca (ni qué decir del inglés) pero pucha que aprendimos harto el un (1) (uno) semestre que nos hicieron escribir y ejecutar una obra de teatro.

 

Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

  • ISO 8601 is paywalled
  • RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.
 

I've seen the Wikipedia article on year 9 doesn't mention anything of relevance happening during November. Closest thing seems to be September. Since people around have spent a few years making lots of ruckus about how the date with "9, 11" has some sort of importance as a date, I was wondering if I'm missing something here.

 

Basically title. 2019 edition of the Standard denotes the "T" prefix to time as mandatory (except in "unambiguous contexts"):

01:29:59 is now actually T01:29:59, with the former form now designated as an alternative

But date does not have a "D" prefix, not even in "ambiguous contexts".

1973-09-11 never needs to be something like eg.: D1973-09-11

Anyone know the reasoning behind this change and what is the intended use? The only time-only format with separators that I can think would be undecidable in ambiguous contexts would be hh:mm which I guess could be mistaken for bible verses?

 

I mean, it's the obvious choice. So why not? Maybe we can do with the zoom on the cat if there is a better version.
