That’s how you call crepes. Crepes are not pancakes.

Pancackes.

Thailand bad ending.

Education.

I’m not brave even when they do not fly.

People are products of their times.

You hear this a lot, but then you and look at “the times” and find arguments in favor of cultural integration dating back thousand of years.

It is true that people are the products of their time, but those times are not as radically distant moral wise as it is usually assumed.

It can be valid, it surely doesn’t apply to Gaza.

We are “all” guilty because we knowingly pollute, for example, and that kills people. And we buy products and that finance Israel bombs. And we fight for survival and strangle our jailer that just landed that job to feed his family and never got quality education to choose a different career.

I am more of the idea that there are no truly guilty in a strict sense. We as a society share the responsibility to handle the now extended knowledge we have and we are basically not even trying.

You missed a word in there.

I don’t think it’s lack of empaty, or rather, it’s not just lack of empaty, I think it’s more an active lumping together of people and ancestry.

So much so Zionist, and Nazi, are into their own a-priori “positive” quality, coherently, absurdly so, Palestinian children have a-priori negative qualities.

I feel sick just typing this because I would think this is very very very clearly idiotic. But it seems to take hold of plenty of people’s worldview.

I’m 100% pushing nothing but Signal. It’s the easiest one that brings with it a genuine mental switch. I like to assume that after such a transition it will be easier to look at anything else down the line, say if Meta buys it or some other dystopian shit.

I know it was a great attempt at humour on my part.

From an ethical standoint any earnst attempt at upholding privacy is equally valid. Past the technical necessity, you should probably look at those tools from any ulterior motives standpoint, or path toward a potential future monetization.

On this front, Telegram is clearly shit, Signal is centralized and nothing prevent it from turning “evil” and starting to charge money.

Ideally you’d need complete open sourceness to start getting your feet into ethics, possibly also some political statement beyond some bland “free speech” stance.

The question says “for my phone”.

Also by your logic why use a PC, just don’t use the internet at all.

Ethic pertains to the morality of ones action. Think of murder, as a generally agreed unmoral act, or sharing freely as a generally moral act.

Think of it as the market growing or falling, but in a context where this does not really benefit you personally.

I know it sounds really convoluted but believe or not, that’s what humanity used to run on.

(Also Briar can make a completely decentralyzed network relying on connecting phoner directly and boucing the messadge around, It’s almost a must have if you are, like, trying to organyze when the government shut down the internet and stuff.)

I personally have never noticed flaws when such tecniques are employed, but it may be just immersion doing its job. I’ve never heard of Austin Power being singled out for its special effects…

Compositing has been a thing for, like, forever, going from cutting and gluing film together to, well, having lookalike instead of the real actor in certain shots…

I’m mostly weirded by how you found out only now. I guess go and have fun looking up “Captain Disillusion” youtube channel.
