  • I didn’t compare it to signal. I just asked if that was the facts of the situation.

    If I were to compare it might be to the topic of this thread which I can self host and thus control.

    However, since you opened the door on signal I’d comment that the entire signal org would have to go down for that to happen, not just a few servers. Is simplex managed by a large well funded entity that is unlikely to fail or are the servers more mom & pop setups? What happens if Kurt Cobain wakes up one morning and shuts down his server?


  • But those are still identifiers linked to you and in a global space because it says multiple servers need to know how to route data.

    Nvmd: seemingly if the server hosting your queues shuts down you lose all contact, so your UIDs are shared but only to a specific set of servers you choose with the drawback of fragility. Seems like someone else shutting down a server kills your contact list?












  • No, they arent dumb for not liking price increases. It’s the lack of understanding of cause and effect that makes them dumb, not liking or disliking an effect.

    The reason that saying is relevant is because people are stupid. The president has to care about the economy but the reverse is almost never true

    Of course as with many situations, trump is the exception to the rule: because congress isn’t doing its job and is allowing trump to randomly increase costs by 100% then 50% then 200% then 100% over the course of a single summer, he has had an outsized impact on the economy in a way that no other president has had for generations. And he managed to do it twice, the first time bungling covid so badly that he contributed heavily to the massive inflation we’ve experienced since he was last in office.

    The economy grows on stability, not random acts of chaos, violence, and retribution.





  • All of these problems are caused by a remarkably small network of people. I’m not even necessarily talking about the CEOs. It’s the boards of directors. This is also the pool from which CEOs are drawn one and the pool to which CEOs return after their golden parachute. They function as a living repository of evil. A warehouse of criminals and nepo-babies. (Ex: Airbnb guy joined DOGE and is on teslas board. So first he destroys the housing market for a generation, and then destroys the government, and he is the person who directs Tesla.)

    Like, could fit in one big room.
