"There is no innocent ground for the machine to stand on [...] A cleaner mine, an open licence, a machine built to last twenty years instead of two, all of it can be real and the thing is still not decolonial if the people whose land and water it runs on cannot make it stop."

What a beautiful, strong essay. How much (and what kind of) technology is compatible with egalitarian and post-capitalist societies? The question really is at the heart of all struggle for better (digital) futures.

@soatok
On one hand, one could say that the fear is warranted. Because let's be honest, if/when the "Politburo" decides Signal is expendable, then it will be "expended" and nobody will do anything about it (not that nobody can but nobody will).

On the other hand, the way EU is approaching is it an equal mixture of "Soviet ingenuity" (aka doing it "different" in the bad sense of the word) and arrogance (Funny how Europeans mock US exceptionalism while engaging in the same exact shit. Guess "like father, like son" applies to this too). The former results in the technical failures, the latter leads to basically recreating the same glorified digital prison camp as the US/China/Russia etc. but draped in the EU flag.

So in the end, Signal has its flaws (more on the user/social level) but the way EU is doing it is absolutely not the way.

• video: I don't think my cat is used to her automatic feeder yet. Video shows a black cat sniffing an empty automatic feeder bowl from the point of view of the feeder cam. The timer goes off and it starts dispensing food, but not without scaring the void kitty so much she jumps backwards halfway across the room. She pops her head up to watch the machine finish spitting out food, but decides not to eat just yet, lest it attack her. Poor kitty

Well, shit. Signal now lets group admins delete for everyone.

So now you can curate your discussion groups and delete messages that aren't welcome.

Europe is also not at all currently seeing a bunch of - both country- and EU-level - legislative efforts for blanket access to private messages under the banner of crime prevention. So really, nothing to worry about!

@soatok I wish people could hold two thoughts simultaneously.

Signal is both flawed and the best option currently. We can promote it and also demand that it improve.

Otherwise what? Telegram?
