Just that I haven’t heard of it being as praised as Signal, and since it appears to be intended for chat rooms more than for privacy, there’s natural suspicion that something is missed there.

Yes.

You think she did what she did with a guy 3 times her age because he was charismatic? It’s because he was the president.

Generally you would be right, but it seems Clinton really did have the kind of charisma to attract women almost unnaturally, long before he became the guy 3 times her age and a president.

I feel like I’m rambling but there’s so many obvious ways this was problematic, and you’re still just fucking ok with it?

No, just everything is relative, and some bad things are solved at the expense of other bad things.

But the big deal was Bill lying under oath to Congress about it, and Dem politicians and voters closed ranks and said it didn’t matter.

That’s what I said.

There’s not really an excuse to not learn about it now, political literacy literally saves lives. We need more informed voters.

LOL, I live in a country where most of the populace doesn’t understand what was wrong with mass repressions. They think some bad rich people were the majority of victims, and not typical Ukrainian and Siberian farmers. And of course they don’t understand that the government is not the property of its employees and politicians in power.

You have a long way to fall to reach that. But all those idiots were sufficiently informed. They chose to believe something worse.

I agree about that.

but describe what you see as specifically wrong with Matrix, please.

Federated with huge load on servers. I’d prefer something like old Skype with auth servers part interacting via activitypub or something like that.

OK, humans err. And also make mistakes, like being so confident on something they don’t know for sure.

If it’s specifically disallowed, then some people should be locked up.

a president lying about sexually taking advantage of interns in the oval office

I think the intern was willing and the problem was with lies.

Anyway, sometimes you have to release the steam even in the oval office.

Clinton is an unpleasant person (being best buddies with the current president before the latter’s brain rot due to neurosyphilis became irreversible, for example), but why the hell fscking someone there is a bigger deal than, for example, just ordering murders overseas or legally starting this whole mass surveillance thing?

There’s been a few articles recently about Session authors starting with Signal protocol, and then continuing without clear understanding what they do, thus that Session shouldn’t be used.

Matrix is a compromise, it’s not as much about security as it is about just modern FOSS chat.

They accidentally added a random guy to a Signal group. Not quite the same as classified documents on a self-hosted email server. I’ve heard US military uses Signal quite officially.

This should, of course, raise concerns that if they like Signal - they might want to self-host it, the client and the server are FOSS. They might even consider paying Signal the company to help them.
