they think because he inherited a recovering economy, that he himself had some major part in it.

~~as usual, devs are lost in implementing ludicrously complex scenarios for threat models that touch but a percentile of users, instead of implementing functionality that’s normal everywhere else.~~

as usual, users are lost in complaining about a privacy-centered application prioritizing on privacy-centered solutions, instead of using the hundreds of other already insecure applications that are normal everywhere else.

people really will complain about anything. It's like progress means nothing, unless a fully working solution is available day 1, it's completely worthless. bff

What is the use case for it?

The same use case as any crypto - to use as currency and pay debts.

Seems kind of pointless and a lot more tedious than just a bank transfer.

The same can be said of every crypto which doesn't hit any kind of adoption.

Why does signal include crypto nonsense in their app (I like crypto, but just can’t see any reason why it should be integrated in the app)

It aligns with Signal's mission statement to "Protect free expression and enable secure global communication through open source privacy technology." [1]. The reason it was integrated into the app was to support crypto that was "easy to use". The same way cash provides privacy by not allowing third parties to see what you're doing, they believe(d) that enabling a privacy preserving crypto wallet would further "protect free expression".

I’m sad that signal does not have support for 3rd party open source clients that could remove such features.

It's not not enabled by default and makes up for (based on github commits and pulling a random number out of my ass based on my continue following of Signal's development) less than 1% of development work since it was introduced.

Why not add support for monero instead?

Monero did not meet the technical requirements that the Signal developers were looking for at the time. Signal has commented that they would consider adding other crypto, as long as it meets the technical requirements - which I don't have so can't source unfortunately.

Actually yes. They want to privatize it so that they can make money on it. Failure is the goal.

Actually yes. They want to privatize it so that they can ~~make money on it~~ further exploit the working class. Failure is the goal.

Although you're right, I like to call out what it will do to everyone so it's more explicit and will hopefully click in people's minds.

I've found sh.itjust.works to be pretty decent so far.

its more about what he represents

[-] Supernova1051@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

100% agree.

For anyone who may disagree, consider thinking of excess wealth as excess food.

If you were in a stadium full of people that represent all of humanity, and you have more food than you could ever even eat in multiple lifetimes are you not an evil person for not sharing with those who are literally starving to death?

These are people with the amount of wealth who could easily subsidize paying a team of people to plan out how to appropriate give away most of their wealth so they don't have "excess food" by the time they die - and not have it impact their day to day lifestyle. Instead they let others starve.

Because all you do is complain online like all the other democrats.

Oh, you know me personally?
