    Falls down stairs cause an average of 12,000 deaths per year in the United States.

    That's actually pretty close to the US intentional homicide by firearm rate, so without factoring in gun suicides stairs are keeping up!

  • Yup! Though it's worth noting that cows, while beautiful, are not necessarily gentle. They can fuck your shit up.

    Also, does this stat separate cows from steers/bulls? It says cows but it feels like it means bovines of all genders.

  • End-to-End Encrypted Chat that YOU Control: Hosting XMPP (Jabber) with Prosody

    Jump

  • Yes, but this is where threat modeling comes into play.

    Right,:

    If you need nation-state level secrecy, rule #1 is don't associate with idiots who can't be bothered with at least the most basic opsec. I shouldn't talk to this motherfucker at all were that my case, or at least not digitally. Thankfully at worst we talk about me middlemanning him some weed, and even local PD dgaf.

    Though btw speaking of:

    Can the size or metadata

    Plenty of people have been drone striked (struck?) simply because the metadata said they were talking to the wrong guy. Frankly if you need that high of a level of secrecy, you'd be better served using tails/tor, or hell even snail mail with false return addr and a book cipher. But for:

    all ISPs, WiFi networks, CDNs, VPNs, script skiddies with Wireshark, and network admins in the path

    Then frankly either signal or jabber+encryption (or for that matter, simplex, briar, yadda yadda) should be fine.

    Signal also benefits from the network effect, because someone trying to get away from an abusive SO has plausible deniability if they download Signal on their phone ("all my friends are on Signal" or "the doctor said it's more secure than email")

    But then again, it's more likely to be known as an encrypted chat which may be a problem for them, while the abusive SO might just think XMPP is some outdated IM they know what signal is, and "my friends" can use jabber just the same as signal.

    Alas, this is an issue with all messaging apps, if people delete the app without closing their account

    Except not. XMPP not being tied to a phone number, if my buddy Steve deletes Conversations, while I may not be able to message him on jabber I can fall back on text. However (and again maybe now this is fixed), on signal if he deletes the app, I can no longer signal message him, nor can I SMS him because they get lost in limbo as signal messages, I'd have to email or use XMPP to get him to redownload signal, delete it properly, and THEN I can SMS him again. (Maybe no longer now that "no sms," but also "no sms now but still give us your phone number" don't sit right with me.)

  • Tbf, can't the other party mess it up with signal too? I have a friend with a Samsung running stock samsung android, bloatware and all; how can I trust there's no google or samsung keylogger, which I'm pretty sure at least one of those companies installs? With copilot existing now, how can I be sure that, when that makes it's way to stock android, it won't capture the signal convo? The man uses windows, how can I be sure he won't surrender our chats to current copilot?

    If you need nation-state level secrecy, rule #1 is don't associate with idiots who can't be bothered with at least the most basic opsec. I shouldn't talk to this motherfucker at all were that my case, or at least not digitally. Thankfully at worst we talk about me middlemanning him some weed, and even local PD dgaf.

    My main issue for signal is (mostly iPhone users) download it "just for protests" (ffs) and then delete it, but don't relinquish their acct, so when I text them using signal it dies in limbo as they either deleted the app or never check it and don't allow notifs. If they had relinquished their acct at least it would fall back on SMS and I could still contact them but the way it was I was literally cut off from texting at least three friends until I relinquished my acct. Now maybe somehow with the removal of SMS maybe that is fixed, but also removing SMS took my biggest selling point to "normals," so, fuck me.

  • Been tired of it since Total Recall's remake. The sole exception has been KOTH season 14.

  • Tbf it was a popular style at the invention of the gas mask (because any more could fuck up the seal and leak through), with WWIII possibly around the corner, the Charlie might make a comeback.

  • Joe Rogan defends Kimmel and tells conservatives supporting censorship: ‘Oh my God, you’re crazy’

    Jump

  • Didn't he defend comedians who were getting cancelled for jokes by the left too, like Chappel? What's the surprise here? Ideological consistency does seem rare these days and "doing one thing while bitching when that same thing is done to you" is quite en vogue, and nobody acknowledges that the systems we put in place to control our opposition will be turned on us the instant they have a chance, but this (defending kimmel for jokes regardless of the politics) seems in line with what Rogan has always said afaik.

  • Can you think of any now?

    Jump

  • Well, yes they did, but if one only pays attention in hollywood movies and not in school they wouldn't know it.
