A telltale sign of an overhyped fad that won't last long is that its proponents loudly proclaim its inevitability.

@lightweight There's this, from 2016: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/
Has WhatsApp removed or altered the cryptographic protocol they use since then? I don't think anyone can answer that outside of WhatsApp.

@lightweight I completely agree. I never recommend WhatsApp.
Even if the Signal Protocol is still working the same as they implemented it in 2016, there are so many other privacy concerns with a proprietary client that make the E2EE nearly irrelevant. E2EE is only as secure as the ends.

Considering what's going on now in the federal bureaucracy, there's no way the IRS would have the capacity to deal with mass refusal to pay taxes. Not that they did before anyway.

The dismantling and disarray of the federal bureaucracy of course has many immediate, detrimental effects on enormous numbers of people. It also creates novel openings for political possibility. Be creative.

There was a brief time years ago when I attempted to do independent contracting building Wordpress websites. Today I am grateful that I never got very invested in that.

@dan @ricci @nullagent @irene I suspect this guy would have a strong legal case against the university, but why bother if he could just get a job and tell 'em to hell with your degree.

How software gets color wrong
"Most software around us today are decent at accurately displaying colors. Processing of colors is another story unfortunately, and is often done badly... The solution is simple at a high level: instead of relying on what color space a file or display uses, color operations should be done with the use case in mind, to either model human perception or the physical behavior of light."

@shonin @luckytran It's so ironic how eager those people are to listen to the government when it tells them to stop wearing masks.
