Thank you for being the only other person I see on my feed talking about simplex its refreshing

Imo its the gold standard in private anonymous group messaging. Better than Signal, briar, cwtch, deltachat, meshtastic.

All of them have some benefit over simples whether it be signals ease of use and stability, briars ability to share the binary over bluetooth, cwtch's simple in-app gui for self hosting, deltachat's interoperability with email, or meshtastics resilience in mesh networks.

But only simplex has no profile ids, quantum resistant encryption, advanced invite/multi profile management, as well as being decentralized

I think that especially anarchists and activists should seek this level of privacy because compromised contacts can have their conversations with you be corroborated to show you are the same person when you have a static id even if its a random string

Since I don't get to talk to people who use simplex much I should mention why I dont talk to the people in public simplex rooms: it skews far right because the creator is a trans hating[1] climate denier with a bunch of other right wing beliefs I cant remember, you know the usual.

That being said the developers have very little control over what happens on even their own servers: they can disable invite links they dont like but not rooms (invites can easily be regenerated), they can remove file links that get reported but not messages, (files are deleted after 48h anyway bc its a relay network they cant delete it when group members have it cached) and if either of these are hosted on another simplex server since its decentralised they cant do anything

except ig the nuclear option to totally cut connection to stop their own users connecting to users on that other server. but simplex is fairly simple to self host, we should be moving away from the official servers anyway

The length of time left
Looking at the doomsday clock
Is tens of seconds

Mountains of chrome slag
Chrome ore blasted from the ground
For bright wing mirrors

Big hills of small dirty looking pebbles, which is the 'chrome slag' left from extraction.

Unfortunately
We live under the same sky
As climate sceptics

"Jeff Bezos’s $10bn philanthropic fund has stopped backing the world’s leading voluntary climate standard setter, following rising scrutiny over its influence on the body, in a move seen as the billionaire’s latest effort to curry favour with US President Donald Trump.

According to three people familiar with the decision, the Bezos Earth Fund has ended its support for the Science Based Targets initiative, a globally renowned body that holds sway over how companies such as Apple and H&M can achieve a credible “net zero” label.

The move comes after SBTi staff members raised concerns about the influence of the Bezos fund last year, and following reports by the Financial Times that both the fund and advisers to former US climate envoy John Kerry had backed a push for the organisation to allow widespread use of controversial carbon credits by companies.

The Bezos fund previously told the FT it did not “make decisions” with the SBTi or have any involvement in its stance on offsets.

Two people familiar with the funding relationship said they believed the move to pause funding of SBTi after December 2024 was partly down to Bezos not wanting to annoy Trump, who has previously described climate change as a hoax."

Woke up from a #FeverDream about being back at #school and forgetting my #PEkit to #SajidJavid interviewing #GeoffreyHinton about the #ExistentialThreat of #AI FFS

I'm not sure what is more distressing...

The waiting waiting to learn if I'd be allowed home to get my kit (the hour's cycle constituting my physical exercise)

Or Javid's swooning extraction of opinion-blurts that too often replaces critical analysis of #technology

And I reckon Javid is a #ClimateDenier. You can't have held all those #Government positions and not know what a dire state the biophysical systems are in. His gushing over AI can only be part of the distraction #circus.
