Signal literally couldn’t give away your communications if they wanted to, everyone who disagrees with the way things are going should be using it.

That’s what that means, yes. Worked for me though.

Altavista was the shit when it came out. My classmates and friends were surprised at how quick I was getting answers or general information. Altavista, that’s it. If you’re using Ask Jeeves or Yahoo you’re going to have a hard time.

I can’t remember how I found out about it, but it’s what I used until Google came out. Anyone know if they were the first to use web crawlers like that or did they just popularize the concept?

My challenger’s whole plastic front end is connected with zip ties at this point. Those pathetic plastic clips they use just break apart if you try to work on them. I realize my solution to preventing plastic dragging on the road is less important than preventing metal on metal contact though.

They will be neutered even further soon, they’re on the project 2025 list.

I hear you for sure. I very much prefer local software and saved files local as well. The problem is there’s more money to be made doing it the other way. Unless it’s FOSS you can pretty much count on the company to follow the money.

I wouldn’t expect most users to understand how to use it, but has there not been a tiktok downloader made yet? If not that’s a good opportunity for someone looking for a project.

Trump lifted the tariffs. At this point I think it was just a smoke screen so there would be less coverage of Elon taking over the Treasury.

Anonymous social media like this is not what people think of when someone says “social media”.

The generation that can’t figure out their TV remote is attempting to legislate on cutting edge technology. Fucking series of tubes all over again. It never stopped though really.

It’s a great idea. I think half the people just don’t give a fuck at all.

Among people who say they care- look how rapidly disinformation is spread about anything and everything. Billionaires would be gaming the system from the get-go. I’m just pessimistic. I really do love the idea and I hope we get there some day.

Based on how Trump 2.0 is going though we might just get that tragedy.

How do you solve the problem that half the country can’t even be bothered to participate once every four years?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m with you 100%, but how would we get people to engage with such a system?
