Reminded me of this

solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/11/what-if-we-replace-guns-and-bullets-with-bows-and-arrows/

But I agree there's no sensible way to do it, and the goal shouldn't be "better wars" anyway

I like that. We could talk about how it's infeasible to have a category for four people in an entire state, but this cuts the fluff and goes to what they're really arguing.

I, didn't even realise that was something that people still thought was real. But I shouldn't be surprised, I know that in the 19th century at least conman and surely true believers did it, and it's not like we're a different kind of human that doesn't believe silly things anymore.

I also understand why there may be less demand by people for that, both because they may not know it's an option and because people who do invest time to build expertise in a software frequently get burned by an update that changes everything under their feet seemingly for the sake of change. But it is frustrating.

unsolicted distro recomendation (the worst kind of post) @fschaap @ludoloon
Elementary OS looks pretty decent. I used to install fedora for people to help set them up, but elementry's Pantheon desktop, app center, and values seem solid and is what I've got on a usb drive for next time.

Also, whatever distro or browser you help set up do her a favor and install adblock for her.

Trolling is actually correct there! Although it definitely looks weird to me cause I think annoying person or monster before searching. Trawling works too; both are also fishing.

I hear yandex image search is decent, or at least was a few years ago.

I still think keeping backups forever is mutually exclusive to really using PFS even if you throw away the ephemeral keys and re-encrypt the messages like signal does. But even if you or your contacts have message backups enabled, signal doesn't include view once media or messages that disappear in less than (or equal to?) 24 hours, which I think makes sense and is a nice way to "opt out".

Yes, technically someone could save every message ever sent to them, but if you don't trust someone to play nice then don't message them something you don't want them to keep. No end to end encryption can protect you if the end is malicious.

What I really dislike about element's implementation isn't just that it keeps the ephemeral keys but that element almost feels dark patterny trying to get you to enable it.

Did you happen to be looking at the logs and see this or did you set up an automatic alert if it notices that pattern?
