  • I recently started looking into more decentralized instant messengers after being on signal for a year or so. I’m happy with signal but just wanted to look into what else is out there. I really don’t get why XMPP gets left in the dust. I see so much praise for matrix, but every public group ive joined is full of spam bots and racists. Simplex is centralized. Even as far as the fediverse goes, I would’ve assumed everyone here would hype up XMPP since it works similarly with the [email protected] convention.






  • Recognizing when people need help and support doesn’t mean you are trying to justify illegal acts. No one said stealing is ok. Just because you understand the root of the problem doesn’t mean you are giving it a pass. This is why people with mental disorders still face consequences for their actions. However, if rehabilitation is something you value, then it is important to recognize that their needs may be different than other people’s for rehabilitation to be successful. Punishment with no attempt at helping a person overcome their afflictions is just a guarantee that they will act out again.


  • I agree 100%. HVAC is not rocket science. As a matter of fact, I was instantly replaced after I quit. As was the guy that replaced me and so on. The point I was trying to make is that despite being viewed as a “trade”, HVAC technicians lean more towards the other user’s definition of unskilled labor. If it isn’t clear, i think the idea of unskilled labor is bullshit.
