Since you’re clearly ideologically opposed to Marxist-Leninist views, why are you here?

Dronie refers to the fact that anarchist positions are always aligned with US foreign policy. It’s exact same rationale as the tankie slur you love so much. Meanwhile, anarkiddie refers to the fact that full grown adults hold infantile views of the world.

You’re literally peddling US state propaganda in this thread.

Would you prefer we refer to you as dronie or anarkiddie?

Same logic as saying that Black people use the n word colloquially and therefore it’s fine to use it as a slur.

Another big problem with Signal is the fact that it's centralized with the server being located in US. Even if the protocol itself is secure with the server not having access user data, this presents a huge risk since US government can simply force Signal to shut down the service at any time. The server can also potentially collect metadata about the users providing US security agencies with user connection graphs.

I think that Matrix approach is much more sound, and would always recommend it over Signal.

I think Linux phones have huge potential going forward. Personally, I've noticed that my usage patterns haven't really changed in at least a decade. I use a fairly small number of apps like calendar, email, chat, media player, etc. The way these apps work hasn't really changed, and if I could get those working well on a Linux phone then I really wouldn't miss Android one bit.

As a side note, it's really depressing to see how hardware keeps getting faster, but software bloat negates all the gains. If we could have an ecosystem of open source apps that are optimized for performance, then we could have phones that last for many years without having to keep replacing them. Imagine if with every update your software kept getting faster instead of slower.

The fact that Ukraine was falling apart all on its own was why I didn't see the logic in Russia actually invading. They could've just sat there and waited for more regions to separate.

I bet that if it was the US asking Wikipedia to edit articles the media wouldn’t use the word “demand” or attribute it to the whole US. A likely headline would be: “email shows US official asked Wikipedia to censor ‘misinformation’”.
