    Without some sort of reproducible builds (which are really finnickey to actually get) this doesn't really help though. Adding some set of malicious patches before doing the binary release is trivial.

    It's good that LibreOffice exists and it can be a decent replacement for someone writing a simple document every once in a while. I can not take anyone seriously who claims it is anywhere near as good as the MS stuff. Recently I created a presentation in Impress and it was hell on earth. I ran into multiple bugs and handling formatting was just horrid working with the master/template slides (or whatever they are called) was essentially impossible.

    Currently working with OnlyOffice which works better by a considerable margin.

    If enough people think that a simple "yay" is funny enough to be upvoted near the top it probably is. If it is not upvoted it is not really a problem. Sure they are low-effort comments but in the age of ChatGPT, you can also write low-effort answers that are much longer. It is the voter's responsibility, not the moderator's, to separate interesting posts from non-interesting ones.

    I would add exercise to point 4, doesn't have to be a lot just get your body moving. If you are not into sports: a longer walk counts!

    Ultimately, even for me as someone who cares about it, it's just become one of those things that I don't prioritize. Life is hard and at some point I'd rather get something cool done with gmail reading all my private conversations than struggle with my own email server.

    Not saying it's a great choice but ultimately life is short and we need to focus on doing what feels right. People have to pick their battles and that's life.

    Go for it my man (or your gender-aligned equivalent term)! At that age, you can still hang out with your classmates without it being weird, so you can still build connections like everyone else. Even if you were 40 though you could still do it, networking would be harder though.

    No offense but for me as a developer this post raises a couple of red flags. If you want to get me on board and excited about this you will have to announce some more details. In particular: what sort of technology stack are you using? Right now all I can see are mockups and the vague idea of releasing to iOS and Android at some point.

    Again, not trying to attack you or your project but I feel like with the technical audience on this platform some more concrete information is warranted. I hope this turns into an amazing client someday soon :)

    As stated in my original post: other servers seem to work. Generally (browser and jerboa), lemm.ee access also works. My guess is that this may be related to some endpoint not being reverse proxied by cloudflare but I am on the go so I can't investigate properly.

    As the title says, I get the "instance not found" error message when trying to add the lemm.ee server. Other instances work fine.

    I'll visit New York City in a few weeks (for a week). What are some things that I should see/experience? Doesn't need to be an unknown attraction but maybe not something that is in every top 10 list. So far I was advised to go to the Top of The Rock rather than the Empire State (since you can see the latter from the former).

    To clarify because this is always a point of confusion whenever the topic comes up. Telegram is, of course, transport encrypted. Someone listening on the wire cannot read your data. It is not end-to-end encrypted, meaning Telegram can always read your messages and can, in principle, give anyone access.

    Yes! This is an amazing book! It has all the neural models in great detail, considering the detail it goes into it's also very readable.

    Blockchains have the property of being append-only, so a blockchain is precisely what makes it impossible to delete transactions. That being said, in a distributed system, once the message leaves trusted servers, it is obviously also impossible to delete it.
