Actually DDG is lighter than FF Focus, FF uses it's own rendering engine, while DDG uses the system Webview that's already installed on your system

the security of DDG depends heavily on the system Webview implementation, and how fast it receives security updates

I find this a seemingly straight-forward point I've never gotten a religious person to acknowledge.

because they don't see it that way, they have their own understanding of free will, religion sells itself as test ( for the most part ), if you pass the test ( temptation or whatever you wanna call it ) you're qualified to enter heaven, so in a way even if you're born christian or a Muslim you still going to get tested, so in their view it doesn't change anything, but from our perspective, it changes everything because we bet that if their parents didn't make them that way, they would never go that route on their own...

99.99999% of people follow the religion they do because their parents did. Not because it's true. That Christian, that Hindu, that Jew. It's just because they were told it was true at birth.

That's why we must address the root cause of all this, which is religion, in Islam for example "Prophet" Mohammed piss be upon him, said

“Every child is born in a state of fitrah, then his parents make him into a Jew or a Christian or a Magian.” (Agreed upon)

As you can see, Mohammed doesn't apply his own observation on his beliefs and because people glorify him, they will never dare to question his reasoning, which is also their own reasoning now..

You can tell a religious person to criticise everything and everyone, and they can, tell them to redirect their critism to their own belief, and suddenly they'll become intellectually handicapped

Best comment in the thread 🤣

I have nothing to add, but OMG, it's like I'm reading about myself, I'm 27 and I gave up on the entire dating apps thingy

anyone I've met on the apps keep using the apps while I see them

Especially this, although I never met them in person, I know they're still talking to someone else, some even sent the wrong messages my way

i see, I think that's a problem of who is recommending the servers to people, I always go with one of the servers that are on the matrix.org website ( these has strict moderators and are under active development ), I can certainly go with another list of abstract/shady unknown servers but that's a recipe for disaster..

Btw, I'm not denying that there is terrible content on some of these servers/rooms, but I'm saying it's a byproduct of the system architecture, Element/Matrix can implement more safety settings that's for sure

that being said the worse footage I saw in my entire life was on Facebook, and it was completely allowed, which tells you something about the platform and how little to no control you have to change it's direction.

The UI is designed in such a way that it doesn't expose the user to outside servers ( by default you're on Matrix.org ) even when you press the discover button you'll see rooms from the same server.

the only way for an average user to get exposed to such rooms is by being invited to them by strangers or Bots ( so maybe there should be a way to disable community invites, especially Bot invites )

Or maybe your client didn't put much thought into the user journey and let you discover everything, even abstract/shady servers

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you lurk on Matrix everyday ? I'm not on the right ( wrong ) rooms because I only take what I need from any service, the Internet can be depressing, so my advice is to be careful

It's kinda strange, the guy reached a conclusion that the service is legit hard to control and take down by any government, but was insisting on: BUT... BUT.. BUT.. trying to stress the negative points, which by the way, they're way more apparent on other Big tech Platforms, specifically : Discord..

If you have a centralized server and that server straight out refuses to take measures against abuse ( I'm just gonna say abuse in general and that includes all things: Child abuse, Ra*e, addictive drugs..etc )

if you as a user notice these things and after you report them nothing happens... Then what ? Wait until a big news outlet notice, then they publish it on their website, and after a week or so, you'll watch the CEO walk away from court like nothing happened..

On Matrix, as a user, I can spin up my own server, make my own rules, and make sure stuff like this ( abuse ) doesn't happen, the point here is that you can't blame Element Team or Matrix Team for what happens on this system, they just make the software and people deploy it

the only thing left to blame afterwards is human nature!

Which brings me to an important question, who is his source ? they must have great control over the network to realize that Matrix ( a huge decentralized network with many servers is a pit of abuse ) !!!

without a source ? without knowing how they knew what they claimed ? this video is just a conspiracy theory in my view.. And having ties to the French government isn't necessarily a bad thing.. ( knowing that the French government spied on it's citizens, yes )

I have been using Matrix for years, and never encountered a single instance of abuse... trolls yes.. Hentai...yes ... but no shady stuff.. It's mostly nerds talking about Computers, Linux and Anime

Sorry, she looks ugly, why is her eyes so separate ? And why her nose is painted with orange

this art is annoying to look at

I'm afraid it'll be overtaken by corporate greed, and throwing proprietary blobs until they implement something like Intel ME... But don't worry it's for your security

You have mountains of work to do if you want societies to realize that men suffer mentally too..

X is just a BAAAAAAD brand that it's almost insulting the people who uses it, honestly were I'm from it sounds like an adult website..

Reddit taught me to never trust a silicon valley, centralized, proprietary service on the internet with my data and/or content
