Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)My [reservations](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) and [criticism](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862595629371002) re: #Signal are not just valid, but the reality is *even worse than I thought*: - The fact that @signalapp@mastodon.world requires not only their shitty #Android #App, and a #PhoneNumber but literally won't allow people to use their shitty #Desktop-App unless they have an Android device with a camera pointed at it makes it utterly unuseable for certain users *who don't have a fucking #camera in their Android*… Seriously, do they expect folks to deal with that shit? - It's already worse in terms of #UX than #telgram and #discord and that too makes #XMPP+#OMEMO clients like @monocles@monocles.social / #monoclesChat & @gajim@fosstodon.org / #gajim easier and faster to onboard #TechIlliterates onto. - Whichever asshole decided that a *replacement for #SMS* should mandate #PII like a #PhoneNumber & not be natively cross-platform should be banned from doing any #tech in their life. Trying to circumvent this shit and helping folks with it makes me so fucking angry that I'm now explicitly refusing to support it! FIX THAT SHIT, @Mer__edith@mastodon.world, and if it means you need to kick some devs in their crouch then consider this a necessary *"investment"*… #sarcasm #TechSupport #TapesFromTechSupport #Enshittifucation #SignalSucks #TelegramSucks #Messengers

#Funfact: The #Monero market doen't give a fuck about #MICAR.

When will #Governments learn that #Prohibition doesn't solve problems?

One cannot ban #cash, and espechally not Monero!

@starraven yes, because #NRA is just a bunch of #racist white men with some token women and BPoC's to "diversity-wash" their PR...

#Trump is a #christofacist and the unwillingness of the masses to revolt shows how #antisocial and #disconnected the #USA's civil society has become.

  • A society of "#LadderPullers" that lives by the motto: "Thanks I got mine!"

#REFORUSA will be an inevitability and the earlier #Europe accepts this fact and acts accordingly the less bloody it'll be...

@trinityblair I'm just gonna tell you the #InconvenientTruth that the CPU is not the bottleneck, but the Software is.

- I did colour-grade and edit DCI-4k 25p @ 400MBit/s footage on an i7-6700K and that worked flawless in Resolve 12 and Premiere Elements 2016, and your Ryzen should run circles around that even if you throttle it to 35W TDP!

If you still rock HDDs or have just a single stick of 8GB of RAM or if your tool doesn't multithread, you got bottlenecks.

@KarlHeinzHasliP if you can find me an EV that is actually affordable and useable and not a privacy nightmare, I'll gladly switch.

  • Meanwhile all those #Swasticars need to outlive my used one by at least 200.000km to break even on total CO².

If I can take breaks, I take #PublicTransport. It's just not an option and on some jobs I would've not been hired without a reliable car.

  • Plus not everyone is able or willing to dish out 5+ digits for a #Wallbox at their rented parking spot when it's not even clear that would be legal as per fire safety code at all, given the landlord doesn't even allow people to refuel cars down there and #BatteryFires are a whole new level of shit!
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@FlanFlinger@mastodon.social no. Unless you can find me a car that seats me comfortably, costs < €4k (used or new) to buy and < € 100 in tax per year in Germany. - Not to mention I rarely exceed 1000km a month, often barely go over 500km and EVs are a pain in the ass to repair or service. And with car I mean EC Vehicle Class M1. - A Piaggio Ape 50 or anything that isn't highway legal or gets honked by trucks for being slow isn't gonna cut it and I do need at least 2+2 seating and about 125l of cargo volume on top.
