You can use a FOSS app at your end to chat with WhatsApp users, if this isn't something you're already aware of. Element.io plus a bridge. Beeper.com is a turnkey platform that sorts it all out for you.

It doesn't help replace WhatsApp as a platform, but perhaps it would suit you?

Well now you are a moron for cherry picking and a moron for editing comments after replies.

Thankfully Lemmy has timestamps. My comment was edited 5 minutes before yours was made, not after:

You seem to have a large chip on your shoulder and I'm not sure why. I haven't said anything insulting to you, and yet the stream of vitriol continues.

You are treating Americans as a monolith.

I am not. The only thing I've done is respond to your claim that "most of us didn’t want to be in Vietnam, most of us isn’t didn’t want us to be in Iraq", and let you know that it's not factually correct. Most Americans did support both of those wars at the start.

There should not be any period where the majority of Americans thought invading Iraq was a good idea. This part is what the problem is.

I notice you didn't actually respond to my point, and then you got angry and started calling names.

First:

most of us didn’t want us to be in Iraq.

Then:

The public supported for the war in Iraq

What you're saying is there was a period of time where the war had support of the public. This is what Deceptichum is saying is not normal. There should not be any period where the majority of Americans thought invading Iraq was a good idea. This part is what the problem is.

most of us didn’t want to be in Vietnam, most of us isn’t didn’t want us to be in Iraq.

I think change starts by taking an honest assessment of the situation, and the statement above is easily disproven:

It doesn't matter that public support shifted later - of course people feel bad about doing something bad after the fact. But at the time, most Americans did want you to be in Vietnam and most Americans did want you to be in Iraq.

I'm sure that the people in your social circle do disagree with those wars and do disagree with some of the more recent things which have happened, but you need to understand that sometimes the majority does sadly support some very bad things.

Very crap article:

You share it to the Omnivore app. Couldn't be easier.

It does neat things like unfolds Twitter threads also.

Another vote for Omnivore. It syncs great into Obsidian also.

Thanks!

If the government wanted brexit to work, they would’ve made it work!

In your opinion, in what way could this have been made to work, if the government had done everything right?

I'm in the EU but not UK, and I can't see any possible way that Brexit could have been overall better for England no matter what the government did.

Just get a Trezor. It's open source both the software and the hardware, battle-tested, and very easy to use.

You literally said: "In this context, the act of being very pretentious".
