Also quite fond of pre-Burn Discovery’s “retro-futuristic Art Deco” style.

There are dozens of us!

The phrase “E2E encryption” definitionally means it applies when you don’t trust whole chain.

Continuously steering a conversation away from the big important facts and towards irrelevant details is called “flooding the zone with shit” which yes, is a type of disinformation campaign.

And it only works if regular people take the bait.

Since I first learned about Linux I have never envisioned a future where Linux didn’t eventually take over essentially all operating system spaces and I still don’t. The question is how long will it take to get there.

But as others have said, I think the overall decline of desktop PC use combined with the just pure overall quality of Linux compared to Mac and Windows PCs in 2026 implies that the x86 PC space will become majority Linux within the next 10 years if not less.

Signal is what you’re looking for

It’s not a company it’s a nonprofit foundation. And they’ve been audited many times by independent auditors.

you agree it’s a distraction but continue to bring it up 🤔

The fact that anyone is even debating the (completely irrelevant) first aid kit means the disinformation campaign is working.

I’m saying by focusing on the irrelevant first aid kit you are playing into the hands of those who seek to discourage the use of private messaging apps.

I have no evidence to support anything other than that being a great idea

I agree that bringing a first aid kit to a peaceful protest is not evidence that someone is planning violence.

I disagree that bringing a first aid kit along with explosives and assault weapons to a planned confrontation is evidence someone was attending a peaceful protest.

My personal tastes have nothing to do with the topic being discussed. Stop trying to provoke an argument or I’ll report you.

This is total alarmist misinformation. The “evidence of terrorism” was not “using Signal” or “carrying a first aid kit”, it was taking part in an armed assault on an immigration facility where a dozen people set off fireworks and shot a police officer with an AR-15.

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried during their armed assault, along with actual messages (not metadata) from a Signal chat to make the case that the attackers planned on using violence.

There are a lot of problems with this case, IMO the most dangerous part here is that adds legitimacy the (false) idea that “antifa” is an organization that exists. Something the Trump administration has been struggling to prove. This X post takes small details out of context.

1. Don’t trust anything ever posted to X. Especially something that discourages the use of private messaging apps.

2. I highly recommend everyone report this this post to your admins and strongly recommend all instance admins ban/warn accounts like OP. If we want the fediverse to catch on it needs to be more factual, not knee jer.

Yeah it’s not that they don’t exist it’s that artists/producers aren’t focusing on the album experience as much.

THERE. ARE. FOUR. CDS 😭

This is my memory as well, except not so gradually after S1.

I loved Earth Final Conflict season 1. Total X-files vibes. Very mysterious and cool.

Season two was… fine. I genuinely can’t believe it went on for three more after that.

What’s your favorite episode so far and why is it episode 4 and 5 combined?

I can’t see anything through these tears. I’m in SFA withdrawl.

It’s not that they don’t exist it’s that artists/producers aren’t focusing on the album experience as much. The album used to be the thing, and the single was the bait to lure you into purchasing it. Now, the single is more likely to be the thing.
