I was surprised to read that if Reddit had cut their ask in half, that would have workable for Christian. I expected that it would have taken an order of magnitude decrease to make financial sense. It really drives home just how unreasonable Reddit is and how dead set they are to kill all 3rd party apps.

TOTP 2FA is coming in v0.18

I don’t think user voting in of itself is a problem. It’s the consequences of large negative voting that causes the real problems. In Reddit, a single unpopular comment on a popular subreddit could send a casual Redditor into negative karma which effectively shadowbans them from Reddit. As a result, you see people deleting their comments to stop the bleeding. Controversial opinions are punished severely.

Personally, I found that karma led to self-censorship of any idea that remotely deviated from the group consensus.

Lemmy v0.17.4 is available. Looks like it adds some performance tweaks:

  • Adds an index on post.url
  • Creates hot_rank columns for post, comment, and community in place of function sorting.

I agree; however, the second point I don't see as Signal specific. In any service, how do you verify that a server is running unmodified open source code? For the vast majority of people, they are also depending upon the client being unmodified.

Yes, it's not ideal. Decentralized key distribution seems to be a intractable problem for mass adoption.

What security issues does Signal have?

I 100% agree that Apple wrong for not supporting RCS (and I am an iPhone user). However, I personally choose to only use E2E for my communication be that iMessage or Signal.

If a human crashes and their action/vehicle is responsible for the crash, the crash should be attributed to the human (excepting mechanical failure, etc). I believe that if an advanced safety systems, such as automatic braking, that prevent a crash that otherwise would have occurred, the prevented crash should also be included in the human tally. Likewise, if Autopilot would have crashed if not for the intervention of the driver, the prevented crash should be attributable to Autopilot.

As has been often studied, the major problem for autonomous systems is that until they are better than humans WITHOUT human intervention, the result can be worse than both. People are much less likely to pay full attention and have the same reaction times if the autonomous system is in full control the majority of the time.

Depending on your use case (gaming, productivity, media creation, etc), RAM speed can have a big impact on performance. For higher end CPU's and GPU's, good cooling and airflow are paramount to get the best performance.

RCS doesn't have a cross-platform end-to-end encryption solution. For cross-platform communication, cross-platform 3rd party solutions such as Signal work well.
