planes already have wheels and can move on the ground, called taxiing.

Making the taxiing part street legal (and more efficient, admittedly) does not really change "what" the plane can do. Only the extent of the capability

you can't land a helicopter just anywhere... so the solution to that is to "need a runway". I fail to follow the logic

there are cars (sports cars, for example) that aren't street legal. There are also street legal things that aren't cars (I don't consider a semi to be a "car", for example.

Being street legal is not what makes something a car.

it's a plane. calling it a "flying car" doesn't change the fact it walks, talks and quacks like a plane

that's probably why i spent most of my time with it cringing

and in a few years + a couple of days, you'll realize that having to turn your whole head that often gets pretty uncomfortable pretty quick

yes I know how tls works, thanks. my point is if they did care, they'd enable e2e by default. but they don't, because they know that the average user will just not use it. They even don't have a setting that says "I want all my chats to be encrypted". you have to opt in, for each individual conversation. manually.

if you want a secure messaging app, use one that encrypts by default, so it's impossible to mess it up. Telegram is not it.

which means it's not on, by default.

which just means it's not

if only I can access it anyway, why the hell does it need to be on a blockchain in the first place? I still don't want everyone to have a copy of it even if it is encrypted. Nobody else should ever need it. I'd rather just sync that data between my own devices, and not everyone else's

it's involved in crypto. That's a permanent red flag for me.

it is a horribly slow, ugly language, with the most braindead scoping rules (apart from js, of course). The only fast parts of it are libraries written in other languages, because python itself is not up to the task for anything more than glueing code from other, better languages together.

python in the same league as cpp, rust and c# is the real joke
