@squads no they ain't - they are #WastefulComputing at best if not #exploitation with #clickworkers who have no other means to make ends meet!
@karl_ist_super weil die meisten "#Normies" einfach nur #TechIlliterate #KonsumOpfer sind, denen alles shiceegal ist.
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Maybe had #Mozilla actually cared they could've convinced #Nokia to do #FirefoxOS and we'd not have the shitty #Duopoly of today, but as we all know the decisions were made by #TechIlliterate suits that are just #HornyForMoney"…
@empathicqubit @crazy_pony @signalapp @monocles @delta
I disagree, because the few steps needed can be taught to literal #TechIlliterates within minutes, and I did so several times, walking them through.
@f @ai6yr @briankrebs I think it's less of a "#political" question but an act of #SelfDefense and #MutualDefense at this point.
Re: #TechIlliterates that are unwilling to learn, act like a "#BenevolentDictator" and enshure they can't harm themselves in the sense that they don't get #sudo or other administrative privilegues and can't do any #persistent #changes.
After all, societies almost everywhere ban people from driving motor vehicles faster than 6 km/h by people who actively refuse to even take basic exams and classes for a #DrivingLicense.
@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:
@lauren I disagree as @signalapp requires a #PhoneNumber = #PII & cost barrier and they restrict access based off #PhoneNumbers.
Whereas it's so easy and fast to get #TechIlliterates setup with #XMPP+#OMEMO (which uninke #Signal doesn't demand PII!) that I'd challenge you to a #speedrun with step-by-step documentation for every #TechIlliterate to follow along to setup Signal from scratch vs. me doing #XMPP+#OMEMO on @monocles @gajim.
Also #Signal being #centralized makes it as vulnerable as any other #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution!
I'd not count on the #Trump-Regime not flexing #CloudAct against anyone they deem undesireable!
@codeofamor @gyptazy yeah, I don't get how "#TechIlliterate" #Normies can even use the #Web without #AdBlockers and stuff...
I guess I left that plane of existance long ago...
@tauon Actually, you want to use a truly secure as in real #E2EE solution like #XMPP+#OMEMO as in @monocles / #monoclesChat and @gajim /#gajim...
@bagder Problem with that is (besides occasional bugfixes), most people including myself would see #curl to be functionally complete and anything "nice to have" would be considered not worth the balooning in #complexity and #size.
I mean, does curl need to be able to do #BitTorrent (magnet:), #IPFS (ipfs://) or god forbid #blockchain (i.e. #EVM) support?
Do you really want to integrate @torproject / #Tor support natively into curl when using #HTTP (localhost:8118) and #SOCKS5 (localhost:9050) #proxy allows for the same and doesn't necessitate having to handle and ingest Tor arguments as well??
In fact if #toybox didn't have a #wget implementation that I could use for OS/1337 I would've merely chosen tiny-curl -o as a global alias or if #tinycurl wasn't an option, curl -o instead.
tor support built-in will go and IDK make i.e. #neocurl or sth. along those lines or build something like #ethcurl or #torcurlor #ipfscurl or whatever...That being said I am glad curl isn't solely maintained by you but has other contributors (give them a shoutout!) but I also am glad you maintain that vital software that most "#TechIlliterate #Normies" most likely never heard of but propably use on a daily basis as part of all the #tech they use to #consume media with...
curl is more than just a downloader and more intuitive than vim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (tho wget is even simpler to use than vi)...Either way, curl is awesome...
@GossiTheDog whoever believes #Gertner bs outs themselves as #TechIlliterate suit!
@megmac excellent.choice if #secrity is first priority by a long shot.
But for a #Server that needs to be secure yet accessible on the public internet it's good.
@nixCraft #Funfsct: some #TechIlliterate dipshit wearing a talar most likely things this is "#hacking" or some bs.
@ada yeah, but then again Oz is ruled by #TechIlliterate #Wankers who decided to not only shutdown both #2G & #3G but literally #ban #importPhones and basically lock-out any device that desn't do #VoLTE their way...
And yes, they enforce that like #Turkey enforces people to register imported devices 30 days after import:
So if you are i.e. a #Tourist in #DownUnder and you got some serious issue, you can't even call their emergency services on 000 cuz your devices got yeeted off the network through no fault of your own!
@Botiplz because they are #TechIlliterate #Consumers?
@themarkup that's why even back when I was in school everyone who wasn't #TechIlliterate booted into #Tails or some other #Linux and thus trivially circumvented any #CintentFiltering!
And no, what #Apple does here isn't #SelfRepair or #RightToRepair but a rotten-to-the-core #Figleaf to bamboozle #TechIlliterate #legislators into believing Corporate #PR aka. #Propaganda #lies!
