Love the idea. Well done.

Agreed. Not sure how much the Disney distribution deal has affected how they handle subtlety. Or just a new show runner that might just not be as good.

I found Steven Moffat to be very good while Russel T Davis has had some excellent moments during his first run, with true existential terror surfacing in the show, lately it has become a Disney ride.

Not sure if he lost some key contributor that gave the show an edge or they decided to try to bring a younger audience in. It doesn’t feel like it has the gravitas it had there for a while.

They have commercial tvs for kiosks, hotels, etc though a bit more expensive don’t have any of that junk.

Tbf, Signal, and most modern chat clients with multi-device syncing are not great for opsec.

When it comes to privacy from mass surveillance or using your metadata to mine demographic preferences who you are talking to etc Signal sits at the top of generally available chat clients.

But it’s geared for the convenience and privacy of the average user not military security.

Eg: when it comes to group chats you just have to get one of the members of the chat to fall for a device syncing link, for then the whole group chat future messages to become available to the attacker. What’s more, no admin or other user of the chat gets to have approval or visibility privileges or notification of a new synced device for that chat or any info about the status of each of the devices on that chat.

Is this where Google gets to pretend that their news aggregation is about news or profit and not about running social experiments to see what tracks public interest or being in a position to shape public opinion by surfacing the news it chooses but also without paying for content?

“Government should be run like a business” sounds like a totalitarian religion.

So basically the opposite of what the founding fathers wanted with separation of powers and checks and balances, right?

I thought these people were cosplaying traditionalists.

Adding tuta.com to the list of alternatives

I have some sympathy for low information voters - a whole party and propaganda mechanism was moving behind the scenes with outreach to each community smoothing and re interpreting what he was saying specifically for any number of audiences - “he doesn’t mean this, he means this”. He’s a joker and a comedian he doesn’t mean x, he only means y.

To the poor he promised cheaper eggs. To the arabs to stop Israel’s war. To the hispanics to deport only the criminals. To the blacks jobs and security. To the whites to put them on top. To the unions better pay. If there was a lie to be told to a group of people he said it and if he didn’t the mechanism that was talking to that demographic did.

So it was a pick your own adventure - made you feel like you were on the inside, they’re slowly realising they were the mark of the con.
