You'll enjoy Spock's "I'm the X".

This is the part that resonated with me the most as the casual user. The interface is, so confusing that the differences between various forms of chats seems deliberately unclear. And all that's "useful" is opt-in. And Groups - most used in corporate or project setting, can't be encrypted at all? That's... peculiar.

Again, thanks for the eye-opener.

No, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate it. What I do right now is sending this article with TLDR to all my friends and family.

Any advice for people that used it in the past? After reading the article, my understanding is that what was sent in "private chat" was in fact encrypted (for the most part) and can be considered secured (to the degree - something is off and, maybe we didn't find out yet, how the encryption is compromised). But it would wise to treat all other conversations as something that is compromised. Is this a fair summary?

Well, it was obvious to you. I'm a casual user, who tries to "do his best" and consider himself "somewhat informed" - obviously not by your standard. It was all news to me, and I find tremendous value in this article.

That is... a very good point. Not only in the environmental niche, we desperately crave more "it may be legal, but it needs to be stopped" stories. It would actually make more sense narratively. Gave them the actual reason to vigilante.

I ment Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing!

Albo, I think Poison Ivey is anti-hero now. So... progress?

Also, Also super heros are by defintion rectionary - it's a whole thing, there is a book about it. So you may hava a point.

What his primary characteristic in your mind?

I agree how the filed is overall. He's a very small represnetiarion. But I stand by that he's a valid one.

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

That's what I heard, but, again, it's all confusing to me as well :)

Hmm,
No idea how accurate that is - know nothing about anything, please take it into consideration - but I think this may be the case: the instance show every post from every federated instances that are subscribed by people in the instance?

If you're on europe.pub and you subscribe to "!flippanarchy" than all people on europe.pub will gain the ability to see their post in the "all". Until at least one person do it, it's only "potentially" connected.

Could it be the case here?

Come on, man. You are portraying a scenario when I opened all comics starting now and stopped when I reached a first one with environmental theme? Is this arguing in good faith? The image is old because it's an important part of his worldview for a long time. One of his enemy from this year is named "Fresh Water Killer".

Because of his views.

He's consistently an "old lefty" sometimes more "sustainable-first capitalist" sometimes more "anarchist", but his views on things like pollution are well established.
