Tech-Illiterate people seem to be absolute idiots when it comes to ComSec, and TechLiterates groom them into ignorance, making it even worse!

  • Regardless if AIM, ICQ, Sky ECC, EncroChat, ANØM, Skype, WhatsApp or Signal.

All you guys literally providing trivial means to track and trace users should be ashamed!

  • There was no "legitimate reason" to demand PII like a phone number in 2010, there certainly ain't one in 2026!

Use XMPP+OMEMO and/or PGP/MIME and stop being unofficial informants for the Americal Stasi, dipshits!

  • Or does anyone believe that Signal will cover your asses? They can't even pay their bills, decentralize and get off AWS!

@siguza which IMHO should be illegal #rentseeking by #racketeering as #Apple has no business charging #devs that don't use their infrastructure at all.

It's Apple's decision to not allow "#sideloading" aka. #Installing Apps outside of their Stores or rather #paywalling that.

I wished @EU_Commission was actually staffed with competent #TechLiterates instead of #InternetPrinting #TechIlliterates like #Zensursula...

@fuchsiii @forthy42 @lunch @nixCraft Yeah, kinda like #heads + #coreboot where one needs to sign #Kernel updates and #grub with one's personal private keys...

But that requires people to be #TechLiterates...

@SwiftOnSecurity

Add to the fact that #Linux users tend to update their shit very fast and often as well as being above-average #TechLiterates and it doesn't make much sense to attack @linux itself...

Espechally with lower hanging fruits like #outdated #WordPress [#Plugin] installs that can be automatically scanned for and exploited automagically and there's no reason to waste expensive personnel hours for the occasional root access to some slow box...

@gsderp *nodds in agreement*

We also need people besides #TechLiterates like @aral and others to be aware of it, and literally get those needing #accessibility to know this ableist trash and publicly outcall the use of it...

@bruces well, I think that leaves the actual, decentralized internet back to the #TechLiterates...

@TwraSun natürlich, denn nur mit irrationaler #Angstkultur ist #Entrechtung, #Polizeistaat und #Faschismus allgemein gegenüber #Normies zu rechtfertigen.

#FUD von #rechtsextrem|em sollte konsequent deplatformed werden, denn die.labern evidenziert eh nur Lügen!
Schließlich hat soch #Zensursula bis heute weder bei #MOGIS noch allen #TechLiterates entschuldigt, die deren #Cyberfaschismus als wirkungslos outcallten und infolgedessen als "[…] [z.T.] schwer pädokriminell […]" diffamiert wurden!

@dasnuf Selbst dann... Gibt Gründe warum auch #TechLiterates inzwischen #WordPress meiden...

@cleo @thatonecalculator @survey @freeplay OFC I'm aware of that "techbro" is obviously a wrong generalization and only applies to #shitsite  aka. the #MuskVerse...

I was merely pointing out that Mastodon is getting more traction even beyond #TechLiterates like us and that this should reduce bias towards said nieche.

Tho that ignores the fact that said surveys are.very technical...

I guess I #swoosh'd myself.

@NireBryce *nodds in agreement*

I thing we as #TechLiterates are someone in a bind to spread #TechLiteracy and help #TechIlliterates to get the basics done and their curiosity (the thing schools usually steal from children or rather forcibly untrain from then) to be reawakened with the proper set of tools and intro guides.
