@koyu Honestly, respectable. If it helps, even folks in the warez scene don't want to work with her.
Just saying that from a "not supporting a TERF" standpoint, it's gonna be a while before another group releases a crack, if at all and at best it's minimizing support, not eliminating it (unless said alternate release drops)
But again, that's just me being pedantic.
@koyu Well, we're still talking about her for a reason and having the skills of a potted plant isn't why. She's a skilled cracker and reverse engineer, just not someone I'd want to let in my house.
Oh well, I can only hope other groups catch up.
@koyu I'll be honest, I have little regard for the actual rants themselves. If I wanted brainrot, I'd go on 4chan.
I'd rather have a drunk fella tell me about how lamps are fascinating (which, I'd actually want to hear).
I've heard some people compare her to Terry Davis but Davis' rants were a byproduct of a mental condition and a genuine belief that his conduct would avoid the harms he perceived.

I believe you, I've spent too much time studying immigration criteria and being from the developing world, I have to deal with certified developing world moments(TM)!
@koyu Still not happy that Signal is removing SMS support, that was an avenue through which I was able to convince people to use Signal...
....I still use it as my SMS client and I'll shed one dramatic tear when support is totally removed
Where are you from and when can I move there? Is coldcalling illegal too? I keep getting calls offering a "f r e e l o a n" and I have to keep telling them "you're not allowed legally to give me a loan"
@LunaFoxgirlVT I'm a little less cynical about crypto but.... this is not how you convince technical people to give your "solution" a try.
This is way to make sure you're flagged as spam and making sure that whenever I see "Storj", I think "nonsense"
