I get that in theory u can always make a new account or join another instance or even host ur own but if certain speech is disallowed and defederated from all but the fringe then the fediverse still fails as a town square.

Either I play the game dirty and win or I don’t and get fucked.

Don’t hate the player hate the game.

A town square requires free speech. A majority of the free speech instances have been mass defederated and silenced. Lemmy is ideologically captured and cannot be a town square until this ends. I’m sure someone will respond with a Karl popper quote saying that lemmies censorship is good actually boar blar

It is going to a real human just that human is puppetting 10 accounts 9 of which will lowball the fuck out of u to drive ur asking price down ready for account 10 to offer a low but somewhat reasonable offer.

The age of human interaction via the internet is dead and this is a good thing. Many people will remain plugged into the matrix and the real ones will meet people in the real world. The tech companies are killing the very thing they rely on to exist.

I browse marketplace then I drop the link to my agent and it has a file with 100differnt Facebook accounts and a skill instructing it on how to configure a subset of them to appear as genuine buyers who are essentially colluding to drive price down before one makes a genuine offer.

On my end I drop a link and invoke a skill file and a couple hours/days later my agent messages me saying they have confirmed a pickup and the price it acquired for me.

I’ve had great success using agents to play multiple accounts to get cheap shit of Facebook marketplace

Idk I just vaguely remember using it to bypass BIOS password. Its operating on the CMOS so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work

OK couple things. If u can boot an os there is some magic software that resets CMOS that can remove BIOS password. Also ripping the CMOS password often helps reset BIOS password.

You guys are being literal luddites get with the times or be destroyed by those who have.

Who cares if it foes the job?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Signal has so many red flags. You are required to have a phone number which is essentially ur real identity. They now have payments linked to real identities so much better. They used to federate with 3rd party servers but they killed that and all but wiped it from the internet. They try to shut down 3rd party clients. They don’t provide reproducible builds so we can’t trust the source. They received their initial funding from In-Q-Tel the CIA venture capital firm.

Every time someone tries to raise any of these issues they are immediately shut down and told that its all for a good reason and that we should trust it.

At minimum they have a full social graph of real identities with time-stamped message events. Sealed sender doesn’t negate this as signal knows ur ip address when u give them a message. They also know the destination of that message as that isn’t sealed. This is sufficient information to link sender and recipient and timestamp. That’s assuming the unreproducible builds don’t have backdoors.

It’s all got a slightly fishy smell to it.

Tldr: If u want actual secure messaging u should consider SimpleX

I’m so glad that lemmy is seeing a political shift to the right k really hope my comment bots helped that process

I unironically do this lol

All ur messages have a recipient address. All ur messages go though signal servers. You have an IP address that u communicate to said servers with. They know when and who you are messaging.

The US government has openly stated they killed people because of metadata and ur comfortable just giving that all away? U also didn’t address any of my precise exact points you simply made a vague deflection.

Not to quote myself but:

You don’t ask too many questions about signal cos the answers don’t make you any more confident.

There have been too many of these types of events related to signal. And it has so many red flags. You are required to have a phone number which is essentially ur real identity. They used to federate with 3rd party servers but they killed that and all but wiped it from the internet. They try to shut down 3rd party clients.
