>I don't think tax evasion is a good thing and neither does ​:rms1:

​

I don't care what you think about this. Just yes or no would be enough. The ability to gather taxes is backed by violence and only by violence, no information control is needed here. You pay taxes not because you think it's a good idea, but because otherwise you will be a subject to violence from the state. Everything else is just an ex post facto justification.

>But I have heard that is very easy to evade taxes using cryptocurrencies if that is your interest.

That's basically no, with lots of caveats. I can't buy cofe with crypto in the cofe place with cute baristas and avoid paying VAT in the process. Why? Because if the place doesn't pay VAT, tax authorities will come and close it down. Crypto won't save them.

Best games are those where you could just murder your way through the entire game. Doesn't mean that you should.

Because they have no reason not to.

I could point out legitimate concerns about water quality (and gay frogs), but you'll dismiss me as a conspiracy theorist (which I sincerely consider a compliment). Literally the very same line of reasoning works when it comes to messaging services and most people. They would dismiss you as a conspiracy theorist or a schizo. Doesn't mean you're wrong and they're right or vice versa. In fact, it doesn't mean anything other than these things are outside of their areas of interest.

You don't think about it either, at least I don't remember you ever writing about moving to the woods and drilling your own water well because you don't trust your municipal water company or are afraid of fluoride (you should be btw).

Digital rights are important, but so are many other things, and most humans have only so much brain capacity. It's just outside of their areas of interest.

>Facebook Messenger and Telegram are not alternatives to XMPP, they are not decentralized.

They aren't alternative because I can talk to girls on Telegram and I can't talk to girls on XMPP. Therefore, if I want to avoid women as much as possible, XMPP is the only option.

From Matrix to Facebook Messenger and Telegram.

There are three massive issues:

1. Servers implement incompatible sets of XEPs and often fail to federate some stuff;

2. Clients are shit (especially when it comes to OMEME'o);

3. Lack of expected features like normal filesharing.

Every now and then I encounter a thread on fedi where someone whines that certain combinations of clients cannot talk to each other with OMEMO and this is funny as hell.

Facebook had their XMPP federating. Google had XMPP federating. Even fucking Livejournal had a federating XMPP messaging integrated right into their whiny blogging shit.

Today, XMPP is a relic used only by a bunch of stubborn nerds. Just like IRC is.

Yes, I know that certain companies like Grindr use XMPP internally, but they might be using just about anything else since they don't federate.
