If you think about it, all files are binary, some just happen to be human-readable.

It’s success. Not huge success, but success. It maintains a mediocre status quo in the face of the possibility of it worsening.

I keep a webcam because I trust my personal computer far more than my phone when it comes to private comms.

I keep my webcam unplugged when not in use.

I am indeed aware that philosophers are not a monolith. They are, however, way more likely to like Freud.

There are counter-trends, but there is a lot of Freudian shenanigans about. The fact that they are a major force bothers and intrigues me.

Your psychologists are Lacanian? And I thought it couldn’t get any weirder after being told you fellows get blue dollars from caves.

Look up “penis envy”. Or “Oedipus complex”. Or some of his views on women.

I get that for the artists, but what about the philosophers? Are they not big dick academics who will lose their standing if their ideas are nonesense?

Ever seen a log file be a binary file, not text?

Ever seen an init system that was also cron?

Do you want to be forced to use a specific init system in order to use udev?

Then SystemD is for you!

It was dope but man did they not give a damn about people who didn’t like Unity.

Jokes on you I use NVIDIA

Yeah but a lot of that C code has inline assembly so it’s more like 5-10% asm.

Yeah, man. I tested with a friend. We used Pidgin, Dino, all the famous clients. I don’t know what’s up.

OMEMO didn’t allow it either, and IIRC I couldn’t do it while doing it in plaintext either.

Yes, I have. With various clients. It sucked.

2^32 different incompatible extensions for receiving images and an inability to receive messages when offline. Glorious.

It is often sketchy. The search function doesn’t work properly. Loading older messages often makes your client spaz out. There’s several glitchy commands. Spamming snowflakes can slow down your client to a crawl. A friend once crashed Element on my phone using a lot of nested quotes with muscle emojis. We had to spam other stuff so I could open Element again because the moment those messages started loading my client crashed again, preventing me from even changing the channel so I could open my app again.

I use Element and Matrix because it is the best privacy-respecting option, but it has a long way to go.

There is one huge thing of value in Matrix: e2ee.

Sadly, the normies don’t care about stuff like that, and the UX is indeed atrocious.
