The problem is jest is run by megacorp Meta, so it won't be fixed in any reasonable timeframe because they're all about new features to make "impact". Its FOSS contributors are typically slow and working primarily to keep their jobs. Also, with node > 20.9.0 being broken and node = 20.9.0 not being a viable option by being insecure, so it's worth having a look at alternatives like bun or deno because it does seem to have lost its way too. I'm currently pinned to 20.9.0 for system dependencies, but use bun for new dev.
A rotten apple doesn't roll far from the tree. The vast majority of Meta projects and former projects are garbage. If you need to ask why, because it's experience.
Proton suffers from the Lavabit problem but worse, it pretends to offer security and freedom when it does neither and acts as a tool of foreign governments to abuse individuals. Use your own GPG keys and better clients, preferably with self-hosting in Iceland or Sweden.
You're a fool if you believe handing over metadata like your personal phone number so you can be tracked is an improvement. That's not email and not a replacement for GPG, something that actually works properly. Session is a superior app for text replacement. I think you need to find new blogs that don't offer crap advice.
Settings > Privacy > Phone number has two options:
- "Who can see my number". If you choose "Nobody", then your phone number will not be visible to anyone unless they have it saved in their phone's contacts.
- "Who can find me by number". If you choose "Nobody", then nobody will be able to see you're on Signal unless you message them or have an existing chat with them.
[Not op] People (newbs) join signal and it shows I'm on. So they message me "hi!".
If I wanted whatsapp etc chats, I'd be on them, but signal is for my real friends, and essential contacts. I chose for several reasons, and being visible on everyone's list is not one of them.
Session started as a fork of the Signal client/server to use identifiers that are not phone numbers (perfectly sensible) but having deviated from the known primitives of the Signal protocol and omitting PFS gives me pause.
> They resisted this change for years, but eventually gave in and fixed it.
I believe that one big reason for that is that it was not trivial to get with the quality they wanted. I respect the fact that they "resisted" instead of just adding some bad implementation for the sake of it.
Protonmail is not Crypto AG. Swiss laws are great for that purpose and it's a nice island inside the EU. Also a few actual cases disclosed by Proton that show the workings when collaboration does indeed happen: "here's the encrypted data that we store. Good luck."
As long as you keep emailing within the Proton realm, there's not much risk of a data leak or foreign govt. intervention. Maybe a denial of service? Or why do you see this as a risk?
Personally I love that they explore more for businesses but as a full biz suite they're not quite there yet. Love their email and VPN though.
I take supplemental B12 and a B-complex because I get hair thinning, brittle nails, and peripheral edema and neuropathy without them. (Also taking levothyroxine and slo iron.) I feel way better with it than without it, and it ain't placebo because I have a terrible habit "memory", forget it often, and remember forgetting after my feet remind me. There's a noticeable point 30 to 90 minutes later at which they spontaneously feel better, but I completely forget about taking or not taking them. (I really need a pill planner like an old person.) I wasn't aware of the apparent connection until after numerous episodes and connecting the two.
What "feeling" does it give you? ;) Borland Pascal and C++ support EMS overlays. Think of it like a shared library almost. Also, using DPMI is another way around it.
Sperm donation and MAANG interviews are the only screening processes fickler.
Maybe the screening process is compensating to adjust to modern average people being less able to tolerate temporary or minor pain and setbacks and more willing to give up? But, yes, it's a cult of mandatory dishonesty and deception meant to shift the burdens of mental and physical healthcare onto the individual in an effort to deny them care and pretend problems don't exist. It's BS and it's actually weaker since you don't want to deploy folks who have unaddressed problems because they're the ones most likely to be liabilities in combat. And also it's an unwritten rule that mental and physical permanent injuries will be borne by the individual.. as part of being a warrior, regardless of care, but this isn't an excuse to cheap out or abuse GIs. (One of great uncles was a DV who died homeless while his (ex-)wife took his check and the VA did nothing.)
Recruits need to realize the real potential for life-long mental and physical disability like my college roommate and also my neighbor. If you do become a DV, the cheapest place to live is TX and the cost of living is relatively very cheap short of moving to a Central American country. Typical injuries include exposure to chemicals like my dad being gassed with Agent Orange causing bladder cancer and type-1 adult-onset diabetes, college roommate busted their back doing a benchpress. Grandpa had a bad jump in combat that busted his neck and knees, and neighbor was blown up in a vehicle hit with an IED.
Compared to wartime: Both grandfathers lied about their ages (17) to enter WW2 and weren't particularly ultra-fit or healthy: one became a paratrooper commando who was severely injured (paratroopers don't actually jump into combat anymore), and the other was a forward-deployed radio tech. Each topped out at E8 and E7 respectively. First grandpa retired with triple retirements when that was possible.
