First of all I just want to say that I completely agree with all of the technical things you talked about in his question but I think you kind of miss his question.

OP doesn’t wanna be on SS7 (the thing that gives you your phone number), neither do I. I’ve just come to the conclusion that when it comes to infrastructure and paying for your goods SS7 is the only realistic option I have.

There is no distributed communication network anyone can just connect to. And the dream of leaving WiFi access points open for free (or for some kinda crypto-pay, e.g SkyNet) is just a dream, individuals have to invest in it and nobody wants to or take responsibility for it.

Here are some rules:

1. Somebody* has to build the radios and computers that our phones connect to and has to build them all over the world (*doesn’t have to be an individual, could be a company or government)
2. You gotta pay to use it (whether it’s with a billing account where they have your full name and house address, or crypto)
3. It’s gotta be the easiest option

If we can come with a solution that fits these rules we can do away with the SS7 cellular protocol and have a truly anonymous network.

I have no fear of implementing anything I’m asked to in typescript go rust java c# f# or nix… They’re all the same tool just kinda different in some places.

Nix and home-manager, those are the only 2 I have off the top of my head.

TF2.

I feel like I struggle to visually identify my opponents in every other videogame but TF2.

Same tbh idk if it’s the community or the app for me

Discreet math, Calculus, and Physics change the way I think about code

I’ve been using it for years. That plus i3 and vim means that I never touch my mouse while working

Forget neovim, try using ED

Id pay to watch that

I mean… Sure it can look alittle different in the database but I’d assume 99% of my Internet footprint is plain text

Convention over configuration feels like such a fight when I’m trying to configure something

I guess another way to phrase that is “is the concept of creating fire” creative.

Because sure you can have many ways to create it but if everyone is doing it then is it creative? Because if everyone is creative then is anyone creative?

Maybe that’s why current year sitcoms are so lame, the laugh track made the "mean"ness a joke

This “Amazon’s Choice” is actually really valid, I’ve had mine for a few years and they perform great

I entirely disagree, Go has some of the most straightforward and meaningful syntax I’ve ever used.

TBH I kinda agree with the states here… I started watching porn waaayyyy too early and it’s fucking me up… without a doubt… I shouldn’t have seen all the things I looked for and now I gotta put up with it.

But I also agree with PornHubs decision. There is no way to verify age without exposing your identity. There isn’t even a way to trust a 3rd party to verify someone’s age.

There really isn’t a middle ground, the only way to protect kinds (like little me) is to block the porn. But websites go on and offline every few minutes, VPNs and Tor are free and hard to blacklist.

How do we censor internet porn?? ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I mean if it’s just a private server for just the people he knows then I don’t get why this would be a concern, but if it is to mitigate family drama then rocket chat definitely has end-to-end encryption https://docs.rocket.chat/use-rocket.chat/workspace-administration/settings/e2e-encryption

Rocket chat is like slack but FOSS… haven’t tried it myself but it could be something

We’ll know if he ever finds some funny way to say he’s using Windows… that or he’s genuine and it’s a click bait title, didn’t watch it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
