No problem, they'll manage to make them more expensive with buttons as well. I'm trusting the beancounters on that one.

Yeah, I'mma have to see that before I believe that. Otherwise I'd drop anonymous hints left and right for every single bit of IoT that runs against an MQTT or XMPP server hosted and forgotten somewhere back in 2018. That backlash would shake them awake.

Yes, but when I am running my own server, what can force me to build a binary that contains the backdoor?

it will be funny when they will impose those backdoors to Matrix

How do you even impose backdoors onto an open source service that can be hosted decentralized?

because their believes don’t fit with the modern western world

And I get that. But then those very same people start to select between good and bad immigrants based on the color of the skin and the amount of beard or something. Ass-backwards-conservatives from Russia - totally welcome.

I wouldn't bet my future on the idea that I could live here in peace and quiet. I'm not even sure of that as a somewhat native.

Doch dann fällt mir ein: Das ist jetzt mein eigener, ganz privater Schlafwagen.

"Moin Papa, Uni hat gut angefangen, Komilitonen sind alle nett, ist interessant hier. Das einzige: Ich hätte vielleicht doch nicht den Bentley mitnehmen sollen, die anderen kommen alle morgens mit dem Zug an, das ist irgendwie bissel peinlich."

"Schön Junge, hab ich ja gesagt, ist gut wenn du mal ein bisschen rauskommst nach dem Internat. Wegen dem Zug, andere Länder, andere Sitten, Überweisung müsste da sein, kauf dir halt auch einen."

Beleidigt zu werden löst im Gehirn ähnliche Reaktionen aus wie geohrfeigt zu werden.

Ja zum Glück, sag ich mal, sonst müsste ich erheblich mehr Auto fahren im Jahr um angemessenes Feedback zu verteilen.

Oh, right. Hungary / Orban, maybe?

 

Steht man zu Hause in der Nebelsuppe ist der einzig vernünftige Ausweg der nach oben.

 

I don't know how I never got that idea. I've always complained that a panorama roof is mainly a feature for the rear passengers - well, this is actually rather excellent.
