Well if they have the keys to decrypt it then there's no point in E2E, it's effectively not encrypted, since they can decrypt it.
I mean, it's better than not being encrypted at all but the whole point of E2E is only you and your intended recipients can read it.

I guess it would be nice if apple did switch from I message go RCS. Then everyone's phone could use one standard
That said RCS doesn't support e2e encryption so I guess it doesn't really matter that much.

It's so funny how most music uses like three instruments. We need wacky new instruments that make new sounds.

Could it be "the concept of speed runs"? It's obvious, anyone could come up with the idea of trying to play faster. It doesn't require any research to start doing it (beyond knowing how the game works). And yet, the fun of speed running a game is often completely separate from the game you're speed running.

I don't know anything at all about it and I refuse to find out on principle, but when I see an article titled some shit like "johnny depps lawyer hilariously shuts down expert witness" I think this whole thing sucks. A famous actor with a huge PR team that's trying to paint this thing a certain way.
Celebrity media is honestly just the worst.

I argue online a lot, and even tho I know it's stupid while I'm doing it, I still find myself doing it.
It's embarrassing! I don't know why I do it! It doesn't make sense!

It's recuperation. It will always happen, nothing to be done about it except not lose sight of what really matters.

Reply to comment by oolong in washing machine broke :c by oolong
The wringer itself is not too big, it disassembles and you can store it. But you need to have something to mount it to in order to use it and it's pretty big when its in use because it has to sit over a bucket or something
I would say the wringer itself is maybe a foot tall and two/three feet wide? But with the bucket and the handle attached much bigger.

Reply to washing machine broke :c by oolong
A couple years back I bought a wash board and a wringer because my landlord kept raising the price on the washing machines.
I think I used them like 5 times total.

Reply to comment by voxpoplar in RAM usage count but it's a % of how many bits are 1 by twovests
I think it would have to in binary, if the leading digit were 0 then that wouldn't be the leading digit. The only nonzero digit is one, so all nonzero numbers have to begin with 1
flabberghaster wrote
I would guess that on average this would be ~half of your actual ram usage depending on how you define that

Reply to comment by Moonside in DSA on the war in Ukraine sucks ass, regrettably by Moonside
Well the point is to be in 2022 and not live in the past.
I'm pointing out parallels between this and a previous disastrous context and the political clikqte that lead up to it and you're just brushing it off as obsolete, like as a culture we're past that? If this is where we're at propaganda wise I think we seriously are screwed, not even saying "beware, we have seen these talking points before used against people opposed to escalating a war" is considered in bounds?
How did NATO lead into the war?
In the wiki leaks diplomatic cables, officials were warning that continuing expanding NATO past the point agreed upon in the 90s would be seen as provocation by Russia, but they've been expanding anyway despite the potential to heighten tensions.
Since when is it "the left" standpoint to just assume NATO is completely innocent and Russia are just insane batman villains acting out of a pure drive for chaos with no geostrategic goals of their own?
Obviously the invasion is bad but why should we risk a nuclear war escalating the conflict more directly?
But the DSA IC is also opposed to sanctions, which are not warfare.
Obviously they are, they're economic warfare. The goal is to inflict pain on the populace in hopes of causing a domestic crisis in the country.

I think the statement is fine.
I seriously feel like we are back in 2002 and if you're not baying for an invasion of Iraq, you were being told "Say hello to Saddam Hussein for me!"
I think flooding the country with guns and turn the place into another proxy war, calls from all quarters of the "Serious People" to establish a no fly zone, etc need to be spoken out against.
It's absolutely TRUE that NATO has no leg to stand on calling out Russian aggression with our record. We do need to condemn NATO for the role it did play in leading up to this.
None of this is to say "No one should care about the plight of the Ukrainian people." It's to say "Hold your got dang horses, let's not dive headlong into another damn war."
