You say Bernie isn't a "real" socialist, then why is he quoting Marx's letters to Engels in this ad?

friendly reminder that:

- you do not need to think someone is the scum of the earth to block them or mute them
- being blocked or muted does not mean you are a bad person in any way shape or form
- you have a right to surround yourself with people you enjoy, indeed, you have a right to happiness
- people liking you doesn't mean you are a good person
- you liking something or someone doesn't mean that that thing is good

it is a misconception I think a lot of people hold, and it's not truth.

Catch of the day

This thread by Zooko is worth reading to consider just how much we depend on a *single* institution to keep most contemporary cultural production alive. Yet much is *not* archived (eg YouTube!) https://twitter.com/zooko/status/1271151348273143808

The fediverse has not yet done better, but could (I left a rant here:) https://twitter.com/dustyweb/status/1350938649454669830

Not on social media?

@rf Авиасэйлс как всегда затащил (а Внуково нет).

Open hardware and open source software for low cost device which measures air pollution in most polluted country in the world, Serbia. You can see product "climerco" and people behind it here:

Which is better for privacy? Signal or Matrix?

Matrix Pros:
Open protocol
E2E keys stored on device by default (not on homeserver)
Federated/decentralized like #mastodon so no single point of failure/control by outside influences.
Authenticated sessions
Open source server (to my knowledge)

Matrix Cons:
Fewer users compared to signal (my guess)
Learning curve (user must understand how to use e2e, auth sessions, on-device backups properly)
More? Maybe few full featured clients.

Signal Pros:
Simple to setup
Larger user base
More well known
E2e encryption
Open source app

Signal Cons:
Requires phone number
Central point of failure/control
Registration lock and PIN may be uploading more data to signal servers than user is led to believe (unproven by me)
Closed source server (to my knowledge)

Would love comments on this.

Boosts appreciated.

@GNUxeava To be clear I added this all up and they’re asking for a total of:

18,560 CPU cores
122,880 GB RAM
960 TB disk

What the fuck.
