#PavelDurov the founder of #vkontakte and #telegram is lying about their software.

Pavel states that telegram is opensource, while it's actually *not*.

It's such an open and shameless lie, that one should ask, where else does he lie to me?

''In 2005, Pavel completed his training at the Faculty of Military Studies of St. Petersburg State University with a specialization in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare. While training with the Faculty of Military Studies, he served as Platoon Commander of the Philology Department. Upon completion, he was awarded the title of Lieutenant of the Reserve Force. Immediately after graduating in 2006, Pavel created the social network Vkontakte.ru''

Acabo de borrar mi #WhatsApp y mi pregunta es: "¿Soy el único que siente un alivio profundo al desinstalar un software #privativo y #espía tan poderoso?"

Con ese alivio, no volveré a instalarlo jamás, por mucho que la gente me lo pidan.
Me niego a perder mi #libertad y #privacidad a cambio de comodidad.

Ahora tengo un nuevo hogar, en Software #Libre.

Feliz año nuevo a todos!

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Remember that whenever people scream about "mah freezepeach" as reason to be allowed ti behave any way they like:
The "Right to Free Speech" refers to a (supposed) protection against S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲s̲ and possibly their sub-organizations to infringe on some forms of expression,
but it does NOT grant you any right to speak anything at any person that does not want you to.
They don't have to hear you or even give you a platform, because they are not the State, with (maybe, depending on location) that obligation.

For free speech to work, it by nature also includes its inverse, the right to not be spoken to.

'Defensores del software libre' que dieron la patada a #xmpp y abrazaron a #telegram más pronto que tarde admitiran la estupidez que hicieron o quedaran retratados

El trabajo de un publicista consiste en explotar las debilidades de la psique ajena para lograr que el mayor número de personas se sientan insatisfechas (esto es, se sientan mal) con lo que tienen y solo encuentren cura comprando objetos que hasta ayer no necesitaban.

Cada anuncio publicitario debería llevar un aviso alertando de su nocividad, como las cajetillas de tabaco. #publicidad
