I excuse only two produces of capitalism: chocolate, and Monster Hunter!

Oh, that makes more sense!

all the modern Monster Hunter

not GU

not even a thought spared for Stories 2

more like “nuMonster Hunter” amirite?

, terrorism and treason being such cases.

but “muh terrorism” is such a wildcard that it can be (and is) used to excuse anything, so that’s pretty much the same as saying that Proton does not offer any guarantee at all.

You don’t have to be a registered client of a corporation to be harmed by the corporation.

They could host themselves in a different place with better privacy laws. I’ve always wondered why, for example, don’t privacy services establish themselves in international waters or in micronations such as Sealand.

Complete tangent but what is two-party consent even for? I can imagine it gets in the way of getting a lot of evidence in cases of domestic abuse or organized crime.

Caller: [threatens me for 45 seconds] Me: “Could you call me again and repeat all that, for the recording?” Caller: [hangs]

, you should take a helicopter view and see that a punch, will lead to counter punches, which will lead to potentially full blown civil war.

You got that wrong. Nazis are already being violent; punching a nazi is not starting violence, it’s a defensive measure, it’s a response to violence. But sure if your response to violence is “let’s sit with the nazis and make a nazi bar” then sure, you do you.

But once they are made aware, the legal system considers them to now bear responsibility if they don’t take action.

And the action Signal can take is pretty clear: “Okay thanks for reporting, feel free to file a lawsuit against Alice and or Bob instead, have a nice day.” Remember: even if Signal had Charlie’s credentials to view the chat, unless Charlie is an admin of the chat Signal can’t do anything other than log Charlie off the group. Plus each participant still has their own message store. So by this point Signal has complied with the law. It’s literally Section 230.

Which one is harder has zero relevance upon how much work Signal has to do to vet the contents transmitted on the channels, which is zero, nil, because they can’t. Even if it was Charlie who reported the channel, Signal intentionally has no practical means to verify neither the accused contents nor the authenticity of the report. And this is actually good.

Infrastructure-wise, Signal (mostly) limits itself to only being a carrier. In a just world, a carrier who has been set up to take the limited responsibility of a carrier is not liable for the contents of carried things that are protected so that the carrier can not peek into. Sure, they can be legally pressed to change that and “upgrade” their lawyer plan to “content vetter”, but as far as I know that hasn’t happened yet.

Given the file sizes in theory the way to handle the storage issue would be to use torrents, but I’m not sure how feasible is that on the Switch hardware/software itself. As for the communities, one would expect something like a Discourse forum or a Matrix chat, and if they want to work on futureproofing the ROM storage something like IPFS or at least a Nextcloud-like object storage.

Maloyse absolutely can:

• eavesdrop above Alice’s shoulder
• be an evil, militarily dressed maid on Bob Alice’s home
• have remote administrative permissions on Bob’s phone
• (“accidentally”) get a full-workspace snapshot of Charlie’s desktop while he has the group open in Signal Desktop
• Sneak around and check the phone while Alice and Donny are having sex
• Hit Charlie with a $5 wrench

¿Cómo está la gente que tiene gato / perro? Ya los están usando de almohadilla / escaldasono?

Buenas tardes

IANAL and all the other anals, but my understanding is Signal wouldn’t be liable and wouldn’t have to do anything. They designed their service so they can’t know the content of the messages, so if a third party Maloyse (see what I’m doing there?) is reporting a message between Alice and Bob that Maloyse thinks to be illegal, Signal would be within legal grounds to bring into question how did M got that message, and it can’t be used as proof against Signal because there is no legal mechanism by which Signal could have acquired that message and act upon it - in fact, Signal has grounds to suspect Maloyse is crafting those messages, since neither Alice nor Bob have reported such message.

¿Qué es lo más al norte de Chile que estas auroras se podrían dar? Digo, como para ver si habrá posibilidad de viajar a verlas.

Sin mencionar que ahora enseñan que para “salvar Chile” hay que ir al norte a “violar peruanas”.

No necesito tres intentos para saber qué políticos son los que importan esas ideas en la milicia.
