@alex @realcaseyrollins @fedi_block_bot @32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245 Is it still the case that if the only shared instance between you and a follower blocks you, the follower won't receive any more notes from you until they (manually) check another relay / you send to another shared relay?

(Is this an implementation issue rather than a spec issue? I remember seeing fiatjaf mention this as a problem a few months back, but I haven't kept up with any proposals)

@caekislove @Hoss This is an explanation that I hadn't thought about yet, but it makes a lot of sense!

@sickburnbro Sending paper letters is also tracked and allegedly scanned to the point of being able to be read inside. At least the encryption of Proton and Signal -- if the encryption is true and the software on either side isn't phoning home the "E2EE data" anyways -- is preventing half of what Google and the likes do.

Low-speed, long-range radios in a digital mode sure sounds like an interesting solution to all communication being a spy platform (if it's a computer running disconnected from the internet and only connected to a slow radio, it can't send much information where the operator would be unaware), but radio signals could be tracked and "encryption over the air is illegal" in most FCC terms 🤔

@Breaking911 No way

@s2208 @spectatorindex A lot of women who are in their 20s now simply don't want to have children and instead decide to have (often times dead-end) office jobs. 🙁

@alex @ademan Along the lines of using emoji for simple checksums, the Tor Browser has "Bridge-moji" for easily checking that the correct bridge is enabled (example on https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-115/ )

@MeBigbrain @WashedOutGundamPilot "How many years did we take care of you?"

@sjw @p SLC has gotten dirtier over the past decade for sure (largely because of the amount of trashy structures they've put on the mountains during their "tech boom" and stuff), but it's nowhere near as dirty and smoggy as a bunch of other big cities in the US.

Maybe she was raised in a place where there were few people and even fewer vehicles? 🤷

@caekislove Surely part of the reason that the US cares about Taiwan is because Taiwan makes high-end chips. But if China is a real threat, why hasn't the US done better at inciting the development of high-end chips inside of its own boarders? 🤔

@LouisConde By “getting richer,” does the author mean to say “currency is devaluing slower”? That’s the only way we’re getting richer at the moment
