@HamonWry a lot of atheists I know aren't decent people at all. They've just replaced religion with social justice so they can feel morally superior while running around yelling at people (and worse)

“Entropy applies to every part of our lives. ... Understanding entropy leads to a radical change in the way we see the world. Ignorance of it is responsible for many of our biggest mistakes and failures. We cannot expect anything to stay the way we leave it. To maintain our health, relationships, careers, skills, knowledge, societies, and possessions requires never-ending effort and vigilance. Disorder is ... our default. Order is always artificial and temporary.”

@allrite @engagedpractx like I said, they're called DMs not PMs. Like you said earlier, they're not private on other services either. There may be greater repercussions when enterprise breaks user trust due to laws in certain territories, but they're still legally using your data to train AI, serve you ads, etc etc. The proposal that we remove DMs because they aren't totally secure is roughly equivalent to suggesting we should get rid of electronic payments for the same reason

@engagedpractx @allrite a "take some responsibility" approach. They're called DMs not PMs.

@engagedpractx @allrite or people should just take reasonable precautions like they should on every single other web site and service they use?

@DrChris Lol, has it recognised what leeches censorious lefties are to civilised society and drawn a lefty in there to be inclusive?

@Edent people really are opposed to taking responsibility aren't they...

Perhaps these people would be better off on Facebook...

@Alice wow, this is genius!!!

@Edent php fpm and nginx here, but keen to take a look and have a play!

@simon_diamond a perfect picture!!! Stunning
