@Vann *cracks whip* back to writing!

(then you can get back to that really cool dreaming stuff ;)

@Biella that would be me!

@micahflee perhaps you can alleviate the "can our phone numbers be used to collect metadata when we use these secure messaging services?"

That is, I bet you get this question all the time, so maybe there's a FAQ somewhere?

@Vann some damn good jinxin' you're brewin' in this here cauldron, partn'r

@Vann omg, I can't believe I wasn't following you

×scrolls a whole lot×

omg!

It's been a little too long since I listened to

@rustyk5 pssst: I happen to be ephemeral too

@rustyk5 if that's a promise, maybe I should sign up for an account there ;)

@grime_witch but I'm deep into paranoia at the moment....

"use signal, use tor"

@grime_witch my skivvy sense prickles at the whole thing where an attacker can see who contacts who and at what time and size of message and all of that gets tied to the actual phone numbers

At least that's my understanding of the metadata leakage involved with everyone divulging their phone numbers

I hope I'm just being paranoid

@Eve 💜 💓 💕 💝

@Eve lol

Should have written:

It worked out........ok?

@Eve it worked out, OK

And I'm really thankful for finding this community, where I'm welcomed and I get to be femme as heck, and everyone here is super supportive

So, thank you, @Eve !!!

I remember starting up a 'alt' twitter account to explore and embrace my femme nature

Of course, twitter kindly notified everyone who knew my telephone number.................

@grime_witch This is why I don't like signal. I don't want encrypted coms tied to my identity in any way. All that fancy encryption and you can't make it work without making all of us reveal *who is talking to whom*

😣

Oh, sweet Satan, what a day!

I called out a co-worker (my boss) on microaggressions, so later in the conference call (after the business was done) he rolled out the 'is this a microaggression?' while beginning to type in Chinese on our shared tmux. Note that I do not read Chinese, but my buddy who I am mentoring does.

I pointed out that, yes, I can tell when I am being insulted, and I do not have to deal with that at work. So, I left the call and started a beautiful pull request

@grime_witch it really is way too difficult, I just want to stay home and lewd, and going out to find people to stay home and lewd with is such a struggle
