I was only ever a mediocre cellist (Suzuki book 7) but my sister was legit good and won a scholarship-ish thing to borrow some hundreds-of-years-old cello worth six figures. When playing it, even I could immediately tell the difference betw

That's actually exactly what I thought of when reading the article: the sinking silence where everyone knows we're gonna wipe, but nobody wants to be the first to say it. Or, conversely, the busy silence where everybody's con

Heh: my employer has done the inverse, where desktop slack sessions live forever but phone slack gets (silently!) logged out every 24h. This makes it basically useless for getting pings when afk. As a result, I'm actually quite happy a

Just for context, on public safety/mil radios the user usually can't manage key material from within the UI of the radio: there's literally a distinct piece of hardware called a keyloader that's required to do it, e.g.

An argument in favor of this viewpoint is the treatment of sectoral/sympathy strikes (and other important solidarity tactics like sectoral boycotts) under the Taft-Hartley act: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft%

I agree that sticking with an unmaintained house of cards isn't a great idea, and I agree that fully self-hosted email is pretty likely to be jank in one way or another - I'm just trying to push back a little on two ideas floating
