What's the deal with Signal?

I don't know if I'm opening a can of worms here, and I'm still trying to backtrack a lot of history where I was tuning everything out. I keep seeing random swipes at Signal (or the representatives (?)), and I was wondering whether they are founded or just lies.Is it another situation like Lemmy where we just "take the technology and move on"? Thanks!

Yep

  • One of my regrets about not having Twitter is that I don't know what's going on over there, which tbf is probably better for mental health, but it's better to listen in just cause information is power. Though, I must imagine it's just a damn stupid echo chamber (also tbf, all social media)

  • I know that sociology is an elective in a lot of US colleges, and I thoughr more people would haveI taken it. It pretty straightforwardly explained that every aspect we hold inevitably drives our social interactions and life experience whether we like to or not. From what I've gathered from my friend's experiences and the attitutes I've seen onlone, the sentiment of "why does it matter to be X" is very much prevelant, and being on the receiving end of unknowing racism really does hurt.

    But at the same time, understanding that point also means understanding that people who do not have your traits may not be able to fathom these sorts of experiences (though experience in general is hard to transfer) which results in a kind of dismissal. I'm not saying to forgive, but I understand, and it'll be all I think about as I help educate (and/or bulldoze disrespectful) people.

  • Just a small rec: Obtainium has been great for managing git sources (how I get my Cromite), I don't think I really needed any dev experience at all.

    A small pain is that some repo owners only publish source code, but you know, that's just how it goes

    State of the game now?

    Hey y'all, I dropped the game right after penacony finished, and I know that there's a story in the Luofu and Amorphous (?) is next. I was really considering getting on and pulling Fugue since I like her design but I'm broke xd.

    Main thing I would like to know is mechanics updates and meta engines. When I left, the break engine teams had just taken off (my E2 firefly still smashes everything) and my follow up RRAT (Ratio, Robin, Aventurine, Topaz) was heavily falling off. Damn I should've pulled for Lingsha damn.

    I heard about Rememberance path, I just heard summons buff so like Jing Yuan/Topaz stuff ig?

    Can you always inscribe a square in a closed, continuous curve?: A Topological Perspective

    The math background needed to enjoy the video is not very extensive. Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) explains everything to the best of his ability from a perspective of "discovering mathematics" and helping you "convince yourself" that you could have come to the same conclusion as well (i.e. grasping as much of the proof as you can). And if that goes over your head, then the animations are still really pretty!

    My description:

    An intreguing video that takes an innocuous problem of finding an inscribed square in a closed, continuous curve and connects it to familiar topologic objects, like the torus (or the coffee mug!), the Möbius strip, and the Klein bottle.

    rule and blaze

    I swear @Blaze@feddit.org is everywhere bc he's here and I saw him in !linguistics_humor@sh.itjust.works and like two other communities 😭😭

    Also just side ramble: lowkey this was kinda funny in a post-post-ironic way: first, it was meh funny because the guy rapping in such a shy voice was a bit funny and he's cute ig but NEXT; Second, the comment about the therapist genuinely made me cackle; third, and probably a bit more unfounded (?) is that the fact that multiple people can find this funny (the shared experience of laughing together?) ties off the humor with a bow and feeling of content fulfillment.

    Slight context: bro was rapping the part of "DENIAL IS A RIVER" by doechii starting with "I mean fuck, I like pills" etc.

    I just type random words sorry

    The context behind this scene is hilarious, but it's like 151 chapters into the manhwa so I can't even explain why it's so funny
