I'm reading for clean nuclear energy that doesn't pollute atmosphere with gas that causes global warming nor electronics that give children in <3rd world country where unrecyclable solar panels are dumped in> cancer whenever you guys are :)

"It's because you have to be dreaming to believe it."

Yes, he'd be okay with it, he has nothing to hide after all, not even the fact that his phone got stolen and was used to send bomb threats to 30 nearest hospitals, then destroyed, in the area where he lives with court ruling that he's guilty + getting extra time for destroying all evidence. Literally NOONE would ever do such a thing, it's not like criminals already communicate using stolen devices and even buy things using stolen credit cards. There's simply NO WAY.

Law enforcement acknowledging the fact that he did nothing wrong won't fix the fact that he lost a lot of time and probably braincells because of the stress induced by something completely retarded that should've never happened.

Now go ahead and send a SWAT team to my house, because I have a real photo of a naked baby in an album in one of my coffers, lets ignore for a moment that it was taken by my mother when I was a baby, and I guess by your standards, it's called "CSAM" or something equally retarded.

You cannot. If you need proof to convince you, really look into any revolution that ever happened in human history. It was always the <10%, both on the bad and the good side who did them, while everyone else watched and did nothing - the same people you'd try to convince. The reality is that most people will go wherever life sends them, if their country turns into utopia, they'll think "that's cool I guess", and if it turns into dystopia, they'll only think "that sucks but what can I do anyway", but in neither scenario will they ever do anything themselves.

If nothing more, there's a few words for people who are aware of this and actually do something about it, you can read all about them by looking up news articles containing words like "Terrorist", "Public enemy", "Anarchist". In some cases it is thinly veiled in unrelated words like "Nazi" even though if you really think about it, the problem with "Nazis", whatever that even means today, was fascism, same fascism that you're dealing with right now, but it's totally not fascism however because fascism requires Hitler, and trains, and uh, public shootings or something.

Buy a refurbished server rack and mount it anywhere in US, install and configure email software with everything else that you need.

> The situation changes somewhat if you pay with money for service instead with data

Yeah, now company is profiting not only from your data, but from your bank account aswell, that's the difference.

You can deal with it on your own. I won't be putting up with this, go ahead, make encryption illegal, I'll follow along with you to every fucking court because you have 0 proof that my disk drive is encrypted instead of overwritten with content of /dev/urandom

Not just will have action taken against them, they already are: https://archive.ph/W41mf

For a moment, consider that you're running a company that supports some form of user communication.

How much time and money are you willing to risk in a gray area considering all the legalese? Google doesn't seem to be willing whatsoever: https://archive.ph/W41mf

I know a few, and these people genuinely and completely unironically without a doubt in their mind consider that they're doing the right thing for the greater good of humanity.

I guess everyone should just check the penalties for committing crimes before assuming that crime is real...

You have to keep in mind that to do this you'd have to blacklist every other server from federating, keep all rooms private and disable public room discovery completely.

And it still wouldn't really be all that private, because matrix is public oriented protocol and nowhere on the main website do you see the word "privacy" in context of user privacy.

You also cannot really delete users, nor force deletion of their messages from servers that you're federating with once the user uses the disable endpoint.

Also, matrix server specification is garbage, synapse is the only implementation that at least pretends to work reliably because of that, and it's maintained by a for-profit organization.

I cannot vouch for its real world security but it looked interesting enough for me to remember now: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat

That's right, everything is gray and black instead.

> Let me paint you a picture.

> But what if Bob

This level of irony is simply incomprehensible to me. The picture is clear, the author of the post is an idiot.

Have you considered talking to Bob instead of wasting your time on whataboutisms? Because if Bob ignored an important talk in a meeting on the clock, chances are that Bob didn't even waste time reading your stupid blog post in his free time.

> This article is a reminder to sense check yourself, are you being a team player? Or a solo fiddle?

None of the teams I've been in ever had this problem and the reason is me, if they do, the reason is you. You don't even have to be the leader of your team, you're a team member and can talk to the leader about it. If you cannot, then let me tell you - Bob is the least of your problems.

> Are you even sure which one you need?

Any examples of when you need "now + 24h" instead of same time tomorrow?

For example, daylight savings may start the next day, and time will be adjusted... And everything will be done 1 hour earlier than today despite the hour on the clock being "same time" as today, so what? Other than your body needing to readjust the sleep cycles, noone else seems to actually care.

Meanwhile, when I setup cron to do something daily, I don't care about this at all, so what if on one day, the interval will be 23 or 25 hours?

No, they are not. Beyond leap years and leap seconds, I know absolutely nothing about time, how to handle all the "daylight savings" and other kind of bullshit. And I actually do not care, at all. Luckily for me, people who do care and know these things have made libraries that can handle it all while expecting only minimal knowledge from me, such as being aware that time zones exist at all.

Missed one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second Yes, there are NOT 60 seconds in a minute...

Yeah this also seems very weird to me. Like, okay, that's cool, but did you ever hear of this thing called integration testing?

Who is "we"? I'm simply impressed that despite hippies going extinct back in the 90's, "we" still don't have nuclear energy powering 80% of every single country.

The only real pollution coming from nuclear power plants is hot water that is poured down the drain into the river which causes serious damage to ecosystem and if this bureaucratic bullshit was looked at seriously and all idiots kicked out (and preferably lynched), someone just may figure out that in winter, you need lots of hot water for, I don't know, heating lots of houses maybe.

And yes, not the hecking radioactive waste that can be buried deep underground where noone will ever be affected by it... Just remember that same should be done with the unrecyclable plastic which now deteriorated into microfibers, got into your rivers, seas and eventually into the fish that you ate last week, but isn't, because you do not actually care about real world problems and waste that in fact does ruin your health beyond repair.

Personally, my health goal is to not die from a total health failure at the ripe age of 33
