Struggle and freedom elide.

A Treatise on Stars
Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge

Chapter 7

In which Daniel Micay (strcat) previous Reddit suspicion is followed up by thecast and TheAnonymouseJoker (TAJ) is named. Romiro Romani ("Our connection is sacred," TBOT, The Greater Reset, Conscious Resistance, Above Phone seller) shows his true self.

strcat:
an open secret in the Android world is that major vendors are cheating at CTS/CDD certification

third party companies are the ones that are supposed to test/certify and they are doing it even when the devices fail
Nov 29 03:59

have talked to people at Google who agree with us that this is happening

including people in management positions

so it's kind of amusing that they portray the purpose of those checks as enforcing that it's a certified device/OS when the certification is being openly cheated and means very little
Nov 29 04:01

and if they really care about the device being secure why are they not checking the claimed security patch level, which is even available through hardware attestation API?

thecast:
<strcat> unless of course this is just 1 account of several across platforms because it feels **very** similar to a certain person on Reddit
ahahaha thats exactly what ive been thinking this whole time
Nov 29 04:02

he's changed his typing style a bit but certain things are very similar
Nov 29 04:10

SkewedZeppelin:
or maybe it isn't the same person?
Nov 29 04:13

plz no witch hunts

wj25czxj47bu6q why do you have 3 accounts connected?
Nov 29 04:14

I use different accounts at different times

If it's a problem I can remove 2 of them
Nov 29 04:14

thecast:
not starting any, just saying im pretty confident i know who that is also. some of the things he's said have been almost verbatim
Nov 29 04:16

dlnb:
Just calm down with the drama
Nov 29 04:36

Somebody has an opinion, why does it have to impact you when in reality it doesnt
Nov 29 04:37

thecast:
it definitely goes beyond just having an opinion

dlnb:
I dont believe it does - my opinion and if we dissagree it doesnt automatically start a witch hunt
Nov 29 04:39

thecast:
did anybody say it would? nobody has started any witch hunts
Nov 29 04:40

dlnb:
Risen has been bashed alot lately

thecast:
thats not what witch hunt means

dlnb:
Ive took the time to read through the muc

Technically yeah,nothing to hunt for,hes here

CaptainPicard:
> <@_xmpp_dlnb=2fdivestos-mobile=40conference.konvers.me:matrix.org> Risen has been bashed alot lately

He's not afraid to dish it out, to be fair. He called me brainwashed and toxic for saying he was wrong about something with GOS, for instance
Nov 29 04:41

thecast:
still not what it means

CaptainPicard:
Tbh I've just assumed he's a troll since pretty soon after I joined the chat...
Nov 29 04:42

thecast:
me too

dlnb:
How have i not? Ive been here for a while

thecast;
knew who he was before this drama
Nov 29 04:43

SkewedZeppelin:
thecast, who are they then?
Nov 29 04:51

thecast:
i thought we didnt want to start any witch hunts
Nov 29 04:52

SkewedZeppelin:
I don't follow Reddit too much

is it TheAnonymouseJoker?

thecast:
thats who i was thinking yes
Nov 29 04:53

SkewedZeppelin:
I see no connection

thecast:
90% sure

howd you know to guess his nane then lmao

come on

SkewedZeppelin:
do not take my guess as a conclusion
Nov 29 04:54

thecast:
i didnt

but you clearly see some connection

SkewedZeppelin:
no I don't

I just assumed that is who you'd assume it'd be
Nov 29 04:55

thecast:
i dont follow reddit either but ive chatted to him in other mucs?

SkewedZeppelin:
TheAnonymouseJoker loves their proprietary software

while risen is a Debian purist

thecast:
how did you assume that? ive never mentioned him here

or anywhere else that youre in

as far as you know ive never interacted with him til i just told you
Nov 29 04:56

>guesses exactly who it is
>i see no connection
its too good, i cant handle it

yes he tries to switch up his identity
Nov 29 04:58

wgreenhouse:
honestly whoever they are, they are accidentally doing great propaganda for Graphene, both of them are

because their stuff falls flat
Nov 29 04:59

SkewedZeppelin:
risen was the first person in this chat room and I've spoken to them the most out of everyone here.

two minutes reading what TheAnonymouseJoker writes and you immediately realize they are two completely distinct people
Nov 29 05:00

Ramiro Romani:
yeah - the joker has never spelt the same
Nov 29 05:01

thecast:
he doesnt write on reddit the same way he chats on xmpp

Ramiro Romani:
and honestly risen has always been a bitter fuck

thecast:
and some of the sentences ive seen risen write are almost the exact same sentences word for word ive seen joker write in chat

like not just short sentences
Nov 29 05:02

risen:
Sounds like it's Festivus. Lol

thecast:
and his general demeanor of trying to seem genuine but everything he says is wrong in a way that it must be deliberate

extremely similar to joker's chat's

CP: I said you sounded brainwashed for quoting GrapheneOS website. Toxic for making a crack suggesting iPhone. You and Ryan, in retrospect, look like the advance guard heralding the str cat arrival...
Nov 29 05:06

wgreenhouse:
oh jfc

risen:
Don't worry, I've about had it with this BS too.
Nov 29 05:07

So documentation instead of easily disproven conjecture = brainwashed?
Nov 29 05:09

Look I care about fact. I don't really care about you calling me names but to an outsider I can really see it looking like you have alterior motives here...

dlnb:
You seem to see non existant motives i believe
Nov 29 05:10

thecast:
you seem to be ignorant of what some people are motivated by

dlnb:
If hes not a fan of something related to a specific project,im sure you quoting it doesnt convey the message you think it should

CaptainPicard:
> <@_xmpp_dlnb=2fdivestos-mobile=40conference.konvers.me:matrix.org> You seem to see non existant motives i believe

Still don't really get why referencing respected security researchers makes me brainwashed either but okay
Nov 29 05:11

dlnb:
I cant relate because i dont know context the quote

Im just assuming and might be completely wrong

risen:
CaptainPicard: You make a personal insult, even in jest, you can expect push back.
Nov 29 05:12

CaptainPicard:
> <@_xmpp_dlnb=2fdivestos-mobile=40conference.konvers.me:matrix.org> I cant relate because i dont know context the quote

He was saying GOS lacks polish because the AOSP messaging app doesn't have a dark mode (fwiw it's bad, I agree.) I stated that the projects' recommendation was to install the SMS app of your choice because a security project's goal wasn't the appearance of an app for an inherently insecure protocol to which I was told I was brainwashed and drank the kool aid
Nov 29 05:13

thecast:
says the guy who's always "just joking"

CaptainPicard:
> <@_xmpp_risen=2fdivestos-mobile=40conference.konvers.me:matrix.org> CaptainPicard: You make a personal insult, even in jest, you can expect push back.

I made insults? Where? Genuine question. I was called toxic for a suggestion and immediately apologized that it was taken that way. I've tried to be very respectful in this chat
Nov 29 05:14

risen:
At the time it was message and contacts, and I asked for koolaid but I'm bored with this now, as much as then.
Nov 29 05:15

dlnb:

Sounds something subjective really
Nov 29 05:16

CaptainPicard:
Still not really sure how it warrants insulting me but okay

dlnb:
And sms is dumb in general when there are better methods of messaging

CaptainPicard:
> <@_xmpp_dlnb=2fdivestos-mobile=40conference.konvers.me:matrix.org> And sms is dumb in general when there are better methods of messaging

Agree

dlnb:
Never said it does, but my personal suggestion,dont take everything as a direct personal attack

dlnb:

Completely

CaptainPicard:

I don't
Nov 29 05:18

dlnb:
The amount of times i heard people fucked my mother is obscene

And yet somehow it doesnt affect me
Nov 29 05:19

CaptainPicard:
That' just part of being on the internet

Like I've said multiple times I'm not upset by it

dlnb:
Great, we can move on to more productive conversations here

risen:
Then let's stfu about it already

dlnb:
Glad we had this talk
risen: sorry
Nov 29 05:20

risen:
No worries, dlnb

CaptainPicard:
> <@_xmpp_risen=2fdivestos-mobile=40conference.konvers.me:matrix.org> Then let's stfu about it already

Agreed. I'll be respectful of you. I apologize again for the tone in that comment. I only ask the same of you in return

risen:
> Ramiro Romani:
> and honestly risen has always been a bitter fuck
That's no way to share the... sacred connection? Sorry Not sorry for not drinking that koolaid either.
Nov 29 05:25

Ramiro Romani:
wishing you the best but not trying to connect with you.
Nov 29 05:30

risen:
Thumbs up, buttercup. Lol
