    Forget about threat model. It’s becoming increasingly an irrelevant concept, as we reach total globalization and centralisation of all of these global companies.

    It’s frustrating, but it could be addressed by the EU members just like how they always have blew up Google so many times on so many occasions by suing them millions of dollars.

    The concept of utilising technology to predict crimes / apprehend and investigate criminals is a great idea and I’m all for it. Alot of people cheered for that concept initially, believe it or not. “Predicting and stopping crime before it happens”. The idea was hailed by many who were victims and were living during times of fear.

    But, lo… Put that tech in the wrong hands, and it becomes a tool for oppression.



  • I just had an epiphany in these days…

    To be honest we’re already slowly heading towards a generation where real information is required, even for conducting casual interactions in the media and on various websites.

    Governmentalisation, a term I thought I’d never use, seems to be a factor which cannot be easily detached from one’s life.

    Workplace, and almost all essential life practices which involves digitisation requires one to go the extra mile to use some sort of service that is supposed to be convenient, with no other alternatives or considerations for other alternatives.

    Unfortunately, were already shifting the leverage towards empowering oppressive government further by giving them what they need and want, and preventing non-governmental entities of such privileges; and therefore, small businesses might as well create an alliance with the government if customers do not want to make business with them. Then it will be B2G (Business 2 government, or b2b to be honest), and they will not try to compete.

    My workplace, full of “techies” nerds use things like WhatsApp, Microsoft, etc… and im forced to comply if I want to not seem like a troublemaker or that person who just complains about anything, or that person who is asking to be fired for some ‘trivial’ matters.

    It is really unfortunate, and maybe unfair, but I am rethinking about alot of things; and that’s a great thing. It is great to be able to get in peace with conflicting emotions sometimes. We can only encourage men, not force them.

    That is not to say that I am not insulted and triggered by such individuals who lack such basic awareness about privacy, and dare call themselves tech nerds. But psychological health is also important for me…*


  • Conspiracy theorists on the other hand: “CIA, Aliens, 3 letter agencies…” Blah blah blah.

    I’ll say this though, the notion of having the ability to know what’s going on on the internet is a good concept, even if abstractly. It’s just that the implementations have never been meaningful other than focusing on attaining/ acquiring a capital of information composed of data about people that can then be utilised in other ways, for monetary values (which was a cool concept, in it’s own respectful ways, but I think it’s still not there, and it is certainly not the kind of thing that would directly serve society and help give back).

    I’m on jerboa’s Lemmy client on android, and everytime I try to post something and search the section where I want to post in, the channel for forum.hacklibery.org does not show up for me. And I would only be able to post in channels/ instances where they have an exposed API. Like Linux or hackernews, fediverse, etc…

    This is interesting, as it does not seem to have an exposed API channel where I could post it in the dedicated pages for ‘forum.hacklibery.org’, so that all the users and participant may see. I suppose the only way for me to do that is by opening another browser and logging in and posting in there.

    The whole bridging and API exposure and linking things are preplexing to me in this scenario 😅.

    I apologize if I confused you too, but I will look around more, and figure it out ! 😀






  • Yes, but you have to remember also that only the @tutanota.com domain was affected. Other domains of tuta were not affected.

    So… I don’t know how much influence is ruining one domain of tuta is going to affect the reduction of capitalism and its orders.

    I felt so bad when my managers did not receive my mails, because of an issue on outlooks part, and now I’m thinking of buying the paid versions of tuta in case that again happens in the future.

    I’m determined to use mail services that are not Microsoft for the aforementioned reasons that you had highlighted - but why should I be the one running my wheels and chasing after ms, in shame and misery, just to let them know their f#### mail server blocked my messages from reaching my managers directly.

    And that actually caused me trouble just recently with my managers due to miscommunication. About 2 weeks ago. (They did find it in spam/ junk folder, but alas… It was sort of over the water at that point).



  • 1- If a man robs ypu, and then give it back to you indirectly without your consent, in the form of supporting a democratic party. Does that justify his actions ?

    2- You know I have come across democrats who hated biden, and sought to vote for someone else for democracy.

    Everyone knows a thing or two about biden’s corruption; how he protects his son, instead of allowing individuals to take accountability and responsibility for their selves.

    3- It does not matter what bankman did with the money, in terms of trying to change the fact that he stole money from people and lied to the people.

    4- Infact the parties that received the donations have to comply and cooperate, if such proofs exist that they were complicit. And there is.

    So I’m not sure how this is going to even flourish in terms of supporting republicans or democrats.

    What goes around comes around.

    I guess you may call me a realist lol.
