  • i’m responding to this one comment but more generally to the sentiment:

    i know this is just a green text

    however, it still pisses me off. that’s the written word for ya, huh?

    i think you’re one of the people who kind of gets that tho, it’s why im responding here.

    the well wishes mean a lot, but, i don’t know if you’re ever truly in a better spot after that.

    all we can do is make it better for the next guy. i used to think suicide was the answer. i realized if i was willing to hurt myself i should be willing to help.

    token “im an atheist,” but i really think it doesn’t matter what you think. things are right for inherent reasons beyond us. only so many ways to cut a cake and all



  • are you and the 93 people who upvoted you crazy??

    lmfao in what fucking world is serving divorce papers and then tearing them up right after they’re signed not even just a little bit toxic, if not emotionally abusive?

    maybe a fucking adam sandler movie but this is real life.

    think before you do stupid shit? other people don’t owe you discretion bc you’re an idiot? “uwu but what about the wife’s feeeeelings???” brother man grow tf up this isn’t a high school fling it’s a marriage. if you wanted to pull shit like this, why did you change it from girlfriend/boyfriend to husband/wife? was that about feelings too?

    oop shouldve ran when they had the chance and the papers were signed.

    sorry as someone who grew up as a child caught between this stupid shit people like you piss me off so much. this is traumatic for all involved.


  • i made my comment pretty early before getting up to go vote in our election. i’ll admit i was premature on having an opinion as i just skimmed the content here and didn’t look into things much.

    this project is definitely interesting. i suppose my sentiment initially was less that i don’t trust the cryptography, and more a general weariness of new open source projects. after reading more about the implementation there isn’t anything that jumps out at me as particularly egregious.

    i support FOSS and the related philosophies a whole lot, i believe it to be one of the only ways to take our lives and communities back these days.

    however, with that said, i have to disagree with this sentiment:

    Nobody will be justifying their existence in front of a random internet user.

    random internet users are the open source movement. new projects must justify their existence and trustworthy nature to the community. not that these people haven’t, obviously they haven’t had the chance yet.

    an open mind, absolutely. but history has shown bad actors are abound, as well. i’m not sure what the proper solution here is, and i don’t think anyone else is absolutely 100% certain either. removing trust from the equation isn’t easy.

    idk i’m kind of just babbling at this point tho. thanks for the civil discussion


  • that still isn’t an explanation of how the server supposedly “does not have the means to decrypt them [the messages]”, which isn’t me saying it’s impossible. i’m well aware of possible cryptographic solutions here. but, it isn’t wrong to be sus of this application until the organization/developers have demonstrated a degree of trustworthiness. i honestly don’t see why you would use this over just encrypting and transfering the data yourself using more traditional methods that involve the minimum number of parties. i might just be ignorant of this project, but i’m weary of it until i have a chance for further investigation
