  • The monarchy has been hated since it was reestablished. Pre-referendum times, there are soccer final (la copa del Rey) between Catalan and Basque clubs, giving the back and whistling so hard to the Spanish anthem, that the Spanish National TV disconnected the live sound and played the hymn on top.

    There are also public cases of prosecution against people burning pictures of the (former) king, for a very useful law there is called “injurias contra la corona y la bandera”. And so on.

    After Franco, they didn’t do a referendum about the monarchy established by Franco because polls told they may lose it, in favour of a republic. You know, the so called “Democratic transition” was more of a “transaction”. Same Police, same judges, same symbols, same politicians, same richmen.









  • I’m sorry to disagree. Matrix and Signal both offer end to end encrypted group chats, while telegram has done zero progress on this issue since it launched, that is before signal was even born from textsecure, chatsecure and redphone.

    Telegram even did not open source their server code nor offer to federate. Worse than Signal. And finally, if you review their changelog, they just focus on addictive features: animations, glitter and “rounded edges” so to speak. This and a ton of minor usability improvements that make it super slick to use.

    For me, Telegram is the new Twitter and the new Whatsapp, all together. With zero encription on server side. How far is the time when some data leak or theft happens? How far until all this huge chat history is used for data mining, marketing profilation, and finally, for violence against minorities or activists?
