its really really save

Edit: sorry I misread it as XMR.

XMPP can be very unsafe. It depends on the client you use. Its best to use a protocol that doesn’t allow unencrypted messages to be sent at all. Like Wire or Signal.

Ah you’re right. Blame Vscode for using MIT. Maybe now is a good time to tell them to change it to GPL, so this can’t happen again.

If its forked from a Foss project then its necessarily a Foss project. That’s why we use Foss licenses.

How is it boot licking to get money from rich people to develop open source software?

Lemmy is FOSS that was funded by a grant from NLNet. Its the same outcome as this.

If anyone is licking boots, its the rich people licking the FOSS boots

This is how open source is supposed to work. Everything they’re doing is now going to improve the open source codebase. This is good.

I use FreeCAD

Fortunately we have a Foss alternative for almost everything

Yes. In order to launder your dirty traffic, you need to mix it with lots of other traffic. And you need it to be safe to avoid attribution.

The US military (and various 3-letter agencies) needs the service to be secure, provide strong anonymity, and to include a sea of traffic thats mostly not their own

Not at all, if you understand why they created it and how they use it

Isn’t this the company that stole all your email contacts and emailed them all to signup in LinkedIn? I’m pretty sure that’s how they got big…

I don’t think we should be using such terms to address people, generally.

Use your name. Don’t prefix it with “President” or “Sir” or whatever. This was done to establish hierarchy, but we as a society need to recognize that no person is superior to another person. By just using a name (and eliminating the title), you recognize equality amongst people.

Sure, you can have a title that indicates what cog in a org you currently occupy, but it shouldn’t be used in your name.

Bitcoin isn’t very anonymous lol. Its worse than paying with a credit card.

Better to use a privacy coin like Monero.

As a rule, I don’t read anything by someone who puts “sir” in their name

No mention of the mental instability of the founder and the toxicity of the Dev team?

That sounded like grub until you said ISO file

Right, the fact that it’s open is the reason this came to light, and we’re having this discussion

Wtf is ventoy and why is nobody explaining it

Aaaand thats why all commits should be signed with your pgp key

Meanwhile I want more Foss video host services that do have ads. If I’m going to be archiving video footage somewhere, I want to know they can pay their bills

I put an unnecessary amount of spaces in all my file names to break anyone who wants to use CLI tools on them

i use windows btw
