Paintball for people who hate doing laundry.

Pass. The last pre-built PC I had was the one my parents bought when I was a kid. Build your own and buy sats with the extra cash.

Become aware of your thoughts without engaging with them. Then ask who is the one that is aware?

Hegelian Dialectic at play.

The admission of ignorance is often mistaken for stupidity, when it is really the opposite.

To address some incorrect criticism:

> Did you know @SimpleX Chat now has a blockchain/shitcoin built in (called Flux)?

Nope, that's not true. There is no built-in coin. Flux the company offers their servers to the app users. Not their coin.

> Did you know they've also started doing "content moderation"โ€”blocking users, groups and 3rd party servers?

Also not true. We cannot block users, as there are no users, and we do not block 3rd party servers. We do remove addresses of groups that distribute CSAM from our servers, without any impact on users privacy.

> Yeah, so far it's only to stop CSAM distribution but we all know how that's a slippery slope. The good old "Think of the children" tactic. If there's a method to ban, block or censor, it will be used and ABUSED.

Not true. Freedom of speech without SOME restriction cannot exist - unlimited freedom always leads to abuses of power and tyranny. Study some history. Our freedom ends where the freedom of our neighbours starts, so some limits absolutely must exist to defend our freedom.

> SimpleX Chat ... not decentralized

Not true as well - there are 100s if not 1000s of community run servers. If you don't want to use ours or Flux's, use your own or anybody else's - it's all in a single network.

> not censorship-resistant.

This is correct, and this will change, as was explained in livestream.

Censorship-resistance and privacy are technically contradictory requirements, so they have to be balanced.

> I also found out they are getting funded by VCS such a Village Global

We were never hiding it, and who are it's LPs is irrelevant - they have no influence or control on SimpleX Chat.

Hard disagree. ๐Ÿ‘Ž Shame on SimpleX.

GNU Icecat perhaps, if you don't want a Chromium-based browser. Brave will work for most people.

So many dead nsecs.

Feed the beast! I make myself bacon and eggs every morning. ๐Ÿคค It's always worth it.

Today I learned how to check amperage with a multimeter. I also blew the 400mA fuse in my multimeter. ๐Ÿ˜

Was a great show, I just wish I never watched the last season when they went woke.

I did not expect to get to hear Brian Lunduke say "nigger balls" three times tonight. ๐Ÿคฃ
