I mean, is Anna’s archive under risk even? Yeah, worst case they can get every major DNS to ban them, but that won’t stop them from being accessible. And if they operate in a country that doesn’t give a shit, they won’t face consequences,especially if their opsec is good enough

Not to mention, things are backed up with torrents. If their servers get raided they would be able to restart where they left off

In my eyes, if you got the chance at something major like spotify’s entire library, you take it.

To be fair, that’s also like, all information

Everything is, or will be, available in torrents. Once it’s spread, we are all Anna’s archive

You can’t kill a decentralized entity. What matters is just getting the information out there by any way possible, and thus it will stay out there

At least, assuming there is a future, they will be vindicated. Future generations will greatly appreciate finding archives such as this.

I mean, dogs and cats can have mental illnesses or disorders, it’s just that they tend to be less impactful due to them being, well, pets. They have no responsibilities

From what I know, they can have traits reminiscent of human autism

Should people… Not be critical? There’s always been so much glazing of the US throughout history

Humans have a natural tendency to develop slang. Even in the internet age new slang and in-group languages/dialects are constantly formed

What might happen, is that, if people try to keep up with it, you’ll end up with older people fluent in dozens of various internet dialects

No, but a majority either supports it or doesn’t care enough to even vote against it. Trump won the popular vote

That’s the price you pay to ensure archival in the face of adversity

That’s why you need more people and spread the word. If enough people and devices are dedicated to the archival probably cess, the safer it is

There are some around. I know of https://annas-archive.org/ at least

So I went and looked it up, and signal-desktop is listed as a reproducible build, so theoretically you should be able to go and check that it conforms to the source

https://reproducible.archlinux.org/

But this isn’t anything I’ve looked into myself, so feel free to look into it

And you also need to trust your OS not taking screenshots of your apps or recording the text displayed onto your screen

There’s plenty of links in this chain, there’s a lot you need to be aware of if you’re going to those lengths. Pick your battles

It’s also in the official arch repositories, so any arch-derived distro has an easy install. I don’t know about other distros however

Signal has a Linux client though? I literally use it myself

Two editions, the current one and previous one, I believe

And the space hog is like a few gigabytes. I think that’s well worth it for a beginner when it means that in the worst case you can always roll back when we have like terabytes of space

Unless they’re like right wing or nationalist, people are in general not in denial about our past. More or less the same as in other countries

Most countries have done horrible shit, and it sucks a whenever it gets denied

“it’s just a joke” has been the biggest lie of everyone that had ever said it

Humor has a purpose, it introduces ideas, it hits at an undercurrent of communication. It’s never “just a joke”

Discord is already dying. It’s been enshittifying for a while, and it’s about to go public

With a slight addendum, tit for tat is best, while also allowing for an appropriate amount of forgiveness in case of mistakes

Also this short game showcases the concept well https://ncase.me/trust/
