Another victory for the US “education” system.

the part of the “conspiracy theory” about CIA funding is completely true: signal proudly say they get funding from the OTF, which at the time signal started was a subsidiary of Radio Free Asia, which started out as an open CIA project (before being relaunched as clearly still a CIA project but without the official acknowledgement).

I’m 50:50 on whether signal is a literal honeypot, but even if not it seems pretty likely that the US government wouldn’t have funded an app that could be used by people breaking its laws - let alone people actively organizing against it (foreign spies, domestic revolutionaries and insurrectionists) unless they were getting something pretty big in return.

Stallman could take 5 minutes to walk back his disgusting positions on sexual assault and pedophilia, every day he makes a conscious choice not to. Why do you support that decision?

Do you think there might be a reason people convinced you that the Cold War is still going on, decades after it ended?

Comments are very normal as usual:

I posted a cool clip from the UFC and got banned even though the content had a warning. It wasnt even that violent just a clean headkick ko.

If I started an instance it would get defederated because people would take one look and assume its toxic. But its not, Im not, I’ve spend years in the leftie techie activist spaces and cause no issues.

There’s a Firefox extension which makes a full-text index of every page you visit - it seems to work, but I found the search a bit unreliable so I stopped using it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/full-text-tabs-forever/

Does archive warrior have a way of downloading pages as you visit them in a browser? I read the link but I only saw references to following Archive Team’s tasks.

This is terrible driving advice. Just because other people suck at lane management doesn’t mean you need to make the roads even more unsafe. Maybe just wait?

“garbage” is saying that 80+ countries ended up with US military bases in them at the request of their people-and-or-governments, totally unrelated to any of the 400+ invasions or attacks that the USA regime has carried out during its existence

the US government does something it has been doing for most of the country’s existence: “what are we, a bunch of Russians??”

Labour criticizing a Conservative policy for being too lenient towards asylum seekers… wishing a very merry “trafficked into slavery” to all these home secretaries and their families.

I semi agree with you, but the focus on “giving birth” vs “impregnation” seems misogynistic as fuck, especially with how much easier (cost, recovery time, risk of complications) vasectomies are than hysterectomies or even tying fallopian tubes.

Unlike you, or the Israeli government, the rest of us realize that you can’t kill an ideology or a social problem by killing people - all of these songs, and the Bob Vylan chant, were what’s called a “metaphor”.

Wow I never thought I would live long enough to see Cory Doctorow challenging western narratives about China and literally using the phrase “every accusation a confession” 🤯

Unfortunately you can’t have it both ways. Either you accept a certain level of crime, or you pay for its removal with your privacy. People like to complain about both, without acknowledging the necessary trade-offs.
