The funniest part to me is that people went to reply, had the chance to read what they were about to say in your comment (maybe some of them even did read it wow) and then ended up saying one of these things anyway. Incredible, no notes
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.

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.


dear comrades living and dead, please help give me the self control not to try arguing with all the “Lemmy is anti human rights” takes polluting the fediverse rn 🙏
Sure, but imo if that is the starting demand then it will likely be compromised down to nothing. Maybe if the starting point is “full nationalization with no compensation to shareholders / owners” then the capitalists could be forced to hand over a part.
But in the US I don’t see how this could ever happen with publicly-traded companies short of a revolution - there’s too much mercenary solidarity from the working class and the petitite bourgeoisie to the capitalists, with anyone with a pension, any cash savings, or some entire sectors bribed out of their own class interest with crumbs from the stock market.
