Noooo, don’t do it Tony. Activision are awful!

Ooo, very good way of putting it!

Remember the rule of headlines, if it’s a question it can be answered with a no.

Why would I want to read some crusty old dude that is outdated?

Political theory has moved on since Marx yet people still cling to him like a religion (like a cult).

Well, the web shouldn’t be human. But if they were to attempt to make it then LLMs would not be the way.

‘left’, yeah, right.

The democrats are at most center left, but that’s higly debatable.

Sure, I get your point and agree.

I just think that third party middleman attacks should be mitigated wherever possible and so far, in looking at online therapy I’ve never seen one that can back up their claims of being private with data, just vague references to how secure it is.

It’s a tricky situation, and I guess there’s no good solution because either we have to trust the third party or just the therapist and if neither can be trusted, well…

it just speaks to a larger issue with society as a whole, how we treat mental health and especially that we need to pay in order to deal with our issues, and that it hasn’t been understood yet that it’s shameful and scary to come forward about problems because of certain laws, and the possibility of either the original scenario or the one you proposed.

This is terrible. However it’s one reason online ‘therapy’ should never be trusted to be private.

Unless the therapists start using actually private ways of communicating like Signal, then stuff like this will keep happening.

I wonder if AI wrote it for him.

This is why in my opinion it is better to say people are unethical/immoral than ‘criminals’ when they do something genuinely harmful.

Criminal is kind of a useless or neutral word if the point we want to get across is that someone actually did something heinous would do or is doing too, and I wish more people would recognise that.

Yep, that’s why mastodon only allows for 72 characters maximum in passwords, I assume.

Very few, if any tech companies care about consent.

Thank you

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. I love learning things about indigenous cultures.

Today I learned that it’s an indigenous Māori word, and as such we should probably be respectful and stick with how they pronounce it.

and an attack on encrypted messaging

lmao. It’s barely encrypted and what little of it that is (one-to-one DMs) have never been audited in a way where Telegram haven’t just either ignored the results or moved the goalposts.

Fairly new, yeah.

Oh, right, yeah, that’s bad.

That’s fair, one reason I stay out of big groups, though you can set it not to be displayed to anyone, so I’m not fully grasping your argument.

What do you mean by passport? It will a bit, if someone doesn’t know the phone number of an account that sent a message.

Okay, interesting. I still think my points about it stand though.
