Damn, I wonder why so many people leave the fediverse. Really, no idea why that could be. Everyone here is always so nice and perfect.

Has anyone seen this issue with #Signal before?
I transferred my account to a new phone (iOS to Android) using the qr-code-scanning method. After a while it got stuck at 100% of restoring media attachments and wouldn't initiate backups again.

Under communism the people will be educated about what techno is.
I finally managed to read @tante's excellent article:
AI is a Fascist Artifact
It has almost all the points that are on my mind as well regarding these systems, and a few more. Great overview read about "AI" as a political project.
