Telegram is the worst kind of "secure" messaging in that it gives you a false sense of security while not really being secure.

Maybe it has to be vim in emacs on an emac

I suspect the world would collapse into some kind of singularity if someone ever ran vim on an emac.

One cool thing about these leaks is: if you weren't saying batshit crazy stuff, no one would care.

This "China's AI is taking your data and that's bad" is shockingly similar to "TikTok is taking your data and that's bad". Lots of US counterparts do the same thing, but I don't see (as much) media coverage about that.

AI is data hungry. If they opt you in, they also get more data from you automatically.

Even if everyone opts out on day 2, they get a crap ton of free stuff in the meantime.

Proprietary by Sony, but they did open source it

The bitrate is manually enforceable on Linux, too

As unfortunate as the naming misdirection is, I have to say: LDAC sounds significantly better (to me) than other Bluetooth codecs I have tried. It also works on Linux and android with no issues whatsoever. Open source is good.

I use it with a pair of Sony XM5's, which can also be used in wired mode, so you kind of get the best of both worlds.

I am curious if the MAGA-esque approach to politics is new for the US, or if there have been other examples of similar political movements which may be considered "cult-like". To better define what I mean, here are some examples:

  • Large amounts of signs bearing a candidate's name being shown by single individuals (e.g. big trucks covered in Trump signs everywhere)

  • Use of a candidate name over the US flag

  • Use of a kind of supporter uniform (e.g. the red MAGA hat)

  • The "alternative facts" of MAGA, where debate can be impossible because supporters believe anyone who is a detractor must be lying

  • In some cases, voter intimidation or coercion from staunch supporters

It seems to me that some of this is new but I'd love to hear other thoughts. I have heard and seen many relatively obvious parallels to German politics in the 20s-40s, but I'm specifically wondering if anything similar has ever been seen in the US before.
