Isn’t DeltaChat just PGP encrypted email? Could be wrong

Joking about those things does not make him any better or worse, it’s comedy. Ending that behavior is not an opportunity to be better.

I think that’s obtuse, comedy has no limits: As long as you don’t act upon uncomfortable / morally reprehensible ideas you joke about, you aren’t any worse or better than if you had never joked about it. I would argue that exposing a bunch of people for what they joke about with no evidence that they’ve actually done something wrong is far worse than joking about offensive subjects. (one has zero negative affects, the other has many)

(I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)

100%, the liability issue is the main reason I’m against self driving vehicles.

Youtube via RSS feeds.

Yes, fully open source. If you don’t trust Mozilla, use a fork like Betterbird.

I cannot fathom how some people are so bothered by what others choose to do. It has ZERO effect on their life. If someone else being LGBTQ+ negatively effects your relationship with God, you are the weakest Christian of all time. (And I’d imagine would go to hell)

Never noticed, but that is actually insane. I would prefer it to match my phone’s current theme, surely they’ll add that eventually.

Nah, I don’t think my issue is with age; it’s with lifelong politicians. Introduce term limits.

For real, government funded space program ≠ innovation at scale

Ah, you know what you’re clearly correct. China, who is not a communist state, has a population of a billion people, and an authoritarian regime who would love nothing more than for it to look like China’s innovating having filed more patents than the next nine countries combined means that Communism drives innovation!

Besides common knowledge, you could also research why China files so many patents (subsidys per patent filed, and the fact China acknowledges utility model and industrial design patents that are not considered patents in most countries [AND these patents make up at least 75% of those filed in China, meaning their number of real (invention) patents is more like ~400,000, and that 75% is conservative.

That second paragraph isn’t necessary though, your point never had legs to stand on.

This has not been universally true among socialist states.

An interesting point against communism is the lack of drive for innovation it creates. If you’re living in a truly classless society (which has never and does not exist), you have no drive to do better, there is no personal reward to innovate besides progressing your society in ways you’ll likely never see / be rewarded for.

Absolutely not, I only tip waitors / waitresses or delivery people.

Any women who (who we’re already assuning I’m interested in enough to take on a date) won’t go on a date with me because of my phone’s OS are dodged bullets imo.

I do. However, computers should function as computers.

Apple products are all about stupid proofing.

Where do we draw the line between a functioning computer and chromebook? an IoT device? Stupid-proofing should not come at the cost of basic functionality.

Preventing side loading protects people who don’t know what side loading is.

No, it does not. Users attempting to sideload an app would obviously be warned, not to mention various other methods of malware scanning / sandboxing which can alleviate that non-existant issue.

Those of us who want it are a vocal minority trying to screw up their entire business strategy.

Creating Fisher Price computers is not a valid business strategy, and serves as a detriment for all users regardless of proficency. User freedom is beneficial for absolutely everyone.
