It’s a good thing for a marketplace to have many options. As long as steam keeps discovery working well then its totally fine. Lots of people throw up their first game (from a game tutorial) onto steam as a learning experience, they aren’t expecting to make any money. Posting your highschool programming project on steam feels cool.

Disappearing messages are a client side convention, they are not part of the protocol, they cannot be enforced. There are signal clients that never expire messages, screen capture, archive, etc

https://tella-app.org/ not capable of live streaming yet, but otherwise does all the activist safety and witnessing. Open source, can sync to clouds, but currently requires manual triggering.

Kinda stepping into the gap the ACLU left behind. Worth looking at

Conference meeting test: you and a bunch of strangers gather for a quick q&a after a conference talk, the author wants to share their slidedeck with you. Everyone has whatever solution you are evaluating pre installed but your strangers so you have nothing setup specifically for this group… How many button presses across everyone does it take to share the slides?

Wait, I don’t see you. Are you on the conference wifi? No I’m on call data, join the conference wifi. What’s the password. Ok. Thanks. I joined it, I don’t see the file. Which wifi are you on? Oh I’m on 5g. This is too complicated join my hot spot. Fuck I can’t see your hotspot, turn airplane mode on and off. I joined it but I don’t see anyone…

Sure if the code is open you can just build it yourself. And if 2.00 builds go open in a time window it’s just time gating.

But your right the incentives are to keeping pumping out a parade of changes to make donating seem worthwhile to get early access

Maybe they could do a model where the mod is free but updates or builds for the first 3 months are behind a totally optional donation fence.

A little key wallet, keeps the keys from jingling when I walk.

Never had any problems with my paid tuta accounts

Not required for me using a private browsing tab and newpipe

This is not stupid it is an example of malicious compliance.

The people in charge of launching the nukes didn’t want a code system getting in the way, getting lost, slowing things down. They were comfortable with the secured missile silo base, the armed guards, the several meters of reenforced concrete, the launch keys, the two key rules, and the quick reaction force if any of the above should be challenged

However a code was deemed a requirement by another bureaucracy. Fine… Fine… We will use a code, and all zeros was born

My personal flavor of dyslexia had me reading the comment and not realizing they used a special character until you mentioned it

I’m actually thankful they exist, because they’re a commercial company. They disclose their capabilities and they advertise. If this was strictly a government operation, it could be quite secret, quite nebulous, we wouldn’t get as many leaks. They’re fulfilling a very positive role in the ecosystem as a red team giving valuable feedback to gos for blue teaming.

Thank you

Last time I checked on fairphone they weren’t doing the due diligence for basic security, and that’s why grapheneos won’t touch them

Did they get worse?

Yes, but its a ketogenic eating pattern. Zero carb.

Carnivore is a type of keto, and gets all of the benefits we see with keto

Carnivore I wouldn’t be surprised about though.

Carnivore is just keto.

PBF : Plant based food - The all plant based diet that gets lots of press

ABF : Animal based foods - the zero carbohydrate ketogenic that usually has lots of controversy

I would love to see a well funded interventional study on institutionalized populations comparing a totally pbf diet vs totally abf diets and settle the debate once and for all.

You would be very surprised! The effects of low-carbohydrate diets on cardiovascular risk factors: A meta-analysis

TLDR Metabolic health is mostly impacted by poor diet, excess glucose and carbohydrates (which directly become glucose). Reducing elevated glucose levels has direct and measurable improvements on blood pressure and CVD risk.

A strict ketogenic intervention is so potent that people taking blood pressure medication have to be very careful and monitor their blood pressure when starting to reduce their medicine so they don’t faint from hypotension… i.e. Cardiovascular disease risk factor responses to a type 2 diabetes care model including nutritional ketosis induced by sustained carbohydrate restriction at 1 year: an open label, non-randomized, controlled study
