Democratic elections are always potentially mini-revolutions. That's the risk of democracy.

Yes. Thank you for making it succinctly.

I'm not doing anything of the sort. The kind of problem I'm flagging in is experienced every day by governments all over the world. Would anyone disagree? People on here who want to put their heads in the sand about it are just be

Lincoln famously suspended the law of habeas corpus (due process) for the purposes of preserving the Union and his ability to govern, and many consider him to be one of our greatest statesmen. There is no government on earth that can functi

The government is not a unitary entity. The Constitution provides for three branches of government explicitly to offset each other's power. And the civil service is essentially a 4th branch of government. Just replacing the titular hea

"The law" is for you and me. It can resolve contract disputes and punish some crimes. This is politics. It's a different order, and a category error to conflate the two. The sooner one disabuses oneself of having no distincti

I've had a similar experience.

Hard to take someone using your tone seriously, friend. If you're just here to rant and rave, you're wasting your time.

I don't think it was a particularly good tactic, but if there was some motivation, it may have been more about political sabotage than foreign adversaries. I think that is the more interesting conversation, personally. What do you do i

I'm sorry, are you some kind of troll? You should work on your delivery a bit. Get a grip.

A stupid simple way to do it would be to use control groups as security pools. If you are not a member some master control group, then you can't be added to related spawned "child" groups. Better than what is there now, which

Secretly? Surely you're not suggesting people on Signal Foundation's board are intelligence assets? Surely, you're joking. That could never, ever, ever be the case. Why would you say such things.

by ctrlp 2y ago
Not arguing it was the best choice. But, I'm curious, if you were in the position where you had strong reasons to believe the official secure channels available to you were compromised by your political opponents who were leaking infor

Many people are making the argument that this administration is unlike all previous administrations. I infer you disagree with that.

by ctrlp 2y ago
Sure, those are the reasons for, but would be interesting for you to address the salient point of not trusting those government systems. I'm sure you can make the counterargument.

Some layer of ACL and better controls over group membership and message visibility. In this case, if it were an inadvertent added member, then there could be a group/role level restrictions on channels that restrict members from a pool

It would be interesting and valuable to have additional security controls in Signal group chats. It's frustrating that the platform is so feature limited.

In my opinion there are at least two ways to interpret this: a) It's an unintentional opsec failure. Perhaps there was an address book collision with another intended user. Perhaps it was fat-fingered. This seems likely. b) It was an i

I wouldn't class world leaders together with politicians. If you find the heads of state boring that's fine I guess, but some of us find long form interviews with the political leaders of major countries fascinating. Keep them com

Much of the tech churn in frontend is likely attributable to it being an entry door for beginner coders over other pathways. Most of us got started in web dev and made big messes using frameworks we didn't understand. So e of us got be

Ironically, that would certainly solve this woman's visa problems.

It is also clear that Mooney had already "found God," so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about for this woman to affirm her beliefs in this context. Politics aside, this woman was clearly a comfort to her in a very difficul

Amateur researchers are frequently derided as dilettantes. Sometimes they are. But "Science" is filled with gatekeepers demanding institutional credentials. For good and bad.

Yes, I'm saying that if you need collaboration, sure, but if all you want is personal note management then I don't see the appeal over plain text files.

Would be great to have multiple layers of times so you can plan out possible routes over days.

This is great! I've been thinking about building something like this for ages since I started using Smappen [0] for mapping travel times on road trips. Super useful way to travel if you're on an open-ended trip with flexibility. [

I'm saying that there are already collaboration tools like Google Docs or whatever. I don't see how managing notes in such a tool beats having some text files. Working with a browser kind of sucks for write operations. It's f

Hmm, I find it easy enough to open a link or even embed an image in a text editor.

by ctrlp 2y ago
I just cannot understand the appeal of these browser based note taking apps. Notion, Obsidian, Outline? Is it the collaboration feature? Why not just use Google Docs or equivalent? For notes, I don't see the appeal of having a browser

You must be quite young to hold such beliefs. Whether you approve of stoicism or not, we all will die one day. Someone once said that to philosophize is to learn how to die. I hope you don't spend the last moments of your life screamin
