That is a wide selection of games. I don’t want any but thank you for giving them away

Use Win 11 LTSC, unplug ethernet, select do not have internet, it will ask you to create a local account

Yes, for giving contacts each other’s Briar info. That’s one f the reasons that I say that SimpleX can never be a total replacement for Signal. People on here push SimpleX hard for privacy and total anonymity and I agree with them, and there’s been a few made up fantasies about the people who run Signal, but I see no way to ditch Signal and only have SimpleX and nothing else.

I do discourage Matrix/Element and suggest XMPP instead

Since Briar can scan each other’s QR code to add a contact, why do you say using the same name with different people make it more trustworthy when you ID can then be recorded or tracked and start to form a web of linking contacts together of who knows who?

But who you message on Matrix has your activity as part of receieved messages

I appreciate how light the Briar app is compared to SimpleX. I like the buetooth connectivity to exchange messages without an internet connection, I’ve used the bluetooth connection before. I strongly dislike that Briar uses the same ID with everywhere contact, but I can live with it. SimpleX can generate new ID for each new contact that you send a message so that you never appear the same with any 2 users.

All Matrix activity is recorded permanently on servers. Yes, encrypted, but maintain a permanent copy.

If that were true, speaking with strangers in public places would not contradict fediverse postings. It seems that being outside talking with strangers face to face closers aligns, but not identical, to what’s on Twitter than every single fediverse service. If you can’t be friends with someone who doesn’t accept what you believe but has other interests away from the internet, not being online, that is lack of intellectual curiosity. Someone, I’m not suggesting you, who can’t spend an afternoon with people without checking phone for new messages lives in misery 10 out of 10 times.

I’m not against Godlike for existing, I don’t know who’s using it. Is it only overclockers who use liquid nitrogen for cooling?

Find one single instance where users are free to reject or critcize religion, reject trans people, criticize conservatives, and criticize leftists, all on a single instance.

I’m all for individual users block who they want. In fact I emcourage it so users onlyvsee what they want. But when server admins defederate and divide the service into sections, users have no say anymore and will have to user mutiple accounts simultaneously across different servers to check posts. The line about telling people to start their own server is a cop out to avoid tue fractoring and censorship, but then to try to promote fediverse as an alternative to th bg names, that’s all a lie and a conjob when severs run by infants block users talking to adults who do not react emotionally to reading words on a screen. In stead, the fediverse seems to be only for people who have identical opinions on every subject and every contrary view gets dogpiled in an attempt to beat into submittiom.

I can say something about people who live a certain lifestyle and have my account deleted. Others can say the exact opposite as me and they get praise and posting gets promoted. It makes the fediverse look like a cult of freakshows who are terrrified to go out to public places and debate people in the street, but come on here to escape humans who don’t agree where everybody conforms to a specific view and everything else is deleted or banned. Given the way fediverse people complain about Twitter, a pattern emerges that their complaints is the fact the Twitter allows opinions that they can’t tolerate so they stay in fediverse where they are protected from reading words. Those people will never achieve much for jobs or careers where co-workers can express offensive or insulting views and the company can’t do anything because they can’t fire someone for an opinion, so they will have to wok with people who don’t support their views or reject their beliefs. How will people on here ever handle having children when their own kids can grow up to reject their views but have to maintain a close relationship despite their child’s disapproval of what they believe?

No, I don’t go on there

Removed by mod

Government can take all source code and use it for their own secretive proprietary. If a court tells the government to release the source code, who can enforce the court order against the government since government can eliminate all lfunding and shutdown departments?

Do you mind if I ask, is that meant to be hurtful? What is it that you’re going for? Is that statement intended to be an insult? What reaction are going for so that I can respond?

Every company that can’t survive without government protection deserves to lose everything

People who only talk on the internet and never get invited over to eat at other people’s houses, who never get invited to attend parties and social functions, have no understanding of what troll means

The fediverse imposes censorship through de-federation, as opposed to being decentralized that only requires protocol configuration with any software designed to communicate through said protocols. Fediverse requires approval before accepting messages from other servers

The fediverse condemns free speech. The fediverse bans unapproved opinions and wrong think, proving that the fediverse is an enemy to the principals of Edward Snowden. But it’s fun to be on here one in awhile knowing fhe right thing to say that forces people to come undone and expose their true personality. When you through a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that helps is the one you hit, so it makes for a fun time to say the right thing for setting off everybody and watxh in the insults come in, it means that I hit my mark

I don’t have an account on there
