I was specifically comparing the surveillance tech that China has, hence my Meta reference. Obviously they’ve done much better in other areas than the US, e.g. high speed rail

It’d be both charged and depleted until you plug it in, then you find out

Definitely racing to be China with the tech they’re producing (Meta’s)

Yeah just look at how hard QWOP is

Or naive people buying because “cool tech”

Opinion: I think painting in Signal in such negative light is more harmful in the practical sense. Having fragmented messaging towards the public that does not care about many of these aspects just makes them a lot more hesitant to change, from my perspective.

We as a community should, in my opinion, pick a “good enough” solution for the majority of the people we interact with. That in itself is a market force to show interest and demand for private solutions. Most people I know don’t have the tools or knowledge or time to understand nuances and all they’ll hear are conflicting messages.

For us more technically inclined people: hell yeah, let’s figure out the ideal model and bring it up to maturity so others can join when it’s fleshed out. E.g. when lemmy came to my attention in the reddit 3rd party app fiasco, I was really confused on how to sign up and use it. And I’m no stranger to tech.
