Signal Facing Collapse After CIA Cuts Funding (kitklarenberg.substack.com)

On November 16th, Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal, published a detailed breakdown of the popular encrypted messaging app’s running costs for the very first time. The unprecedented disclosure’s motivation was simple - the platform is rapidly running out of money, and in dire need of donations to stay afloat....

phoneymouse,

He wasn’t gonna hire dude bigger than him.

phoneymouse,

My friend is a meteorologist for the government. He hates the weather channel. I’m not a weather nerd, so I guess I don’t understand the gripe.

phoneymouse,

Sucks about the trees, but your other repairs you’ve made don’t seem too bad. It could’ve been worse… trees could’ve been neglected and fallen on your property.

phoneymouse,

I’m in both of these pictures.

phoneymouse,

But why did they default to zsh?

phoneymouse,

Agree. Windows sucks ass. Most professional software developers I know use MacOS actually.

phoneymouse,

That’s a lot of money, but same sentiment in the opposite. I would avoid any dev job requiring me to use Windows. Chances are they’re also using some crap tech stack too.

phoneymouse,

There is new research that marijuana may be bad for your heart.

The top post on here has someone claiming bud is safer without linking and there many other posts in this thread doing the same, but they are greatly upvoted. I hope you have the same feedback for people with opinions that support your biases.

There are multiple studies beyond the Forbes article.

I do have a close friend that has used heavily cannabis for years and she has been treated for heart issues recently. She’s still young… too young for heart issues. I can see the link.

But, people are gonna do what they want. I provided multiple studies and people don’t care. They still downvote my comments because they use cannabis themselves and want to believe what they want to believe so they don’t feel bad about it.

phoneymouse,

Idk heart disease is kind of a big deal. Using neither is probably best.

phoneymouse,

You can provide evidence of that if you have a study, otherwise I think we can’t really say that with certainty.

phoneymouse,

Still too early to really say for sure. You don’t really know yourself and you aren’t citing any studies.

phoneymouse, (edited )

Did you open the articles? Did anyone open the articles? Sorry to burst your bubble. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch. Cannabis maybe isn’t the wonder drug you all hoped for. You all act like I shot your dog. It’s ridiculous.

phoneymouse,

I’m not really interested in arguing about it with someone who would rather be stubborn or insult others. When the conversation goes there, as it has, it usually is cover for something. It’s probably an indication you’ve got some personal connection to the issue that is making you biased about it (present cannabis user, seller, etc.) and feel like you need to protect something. That’s a lot of the people on this thread. I don’t have that. I’ve used marijuana. I’m over it. It’s fine if others want to. I don’t really care.

From the studies, there is a potential risk to your heart (heart disease, heart attack, stroke) from Cannabis use. I’ve already provided more information than I really cared to about the topic. Do with the info what you will. Or don’t. It makes zero difference to my life. I’m done with this conversation.

phoneymouse,

This isn’t really a comparison between the two, so it’s not really addressing the issue.

phoneymouse,

Okay internet rando, I’ll take your word for it because you’re “confident”

phoneymouse,

Are you actively trying not to see the several studies linked?

phoneymouse, (edited )

Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, X, Tesla, Sweet Green, Chick-fil-A, etc.

Google/Facebook: spyware

Microsoft: Windows is spyware and I’m just done with Windows. There are many better options for software.

Reddit: CEO is a prick. Gone the way of Facebook

X/Tesla: CEO is a prick, racist and anti-semite

Sweet Green: CEO blacklisting students for protesting war

Chick-fil-A: Run by far right bigots

phoneymouse,

Lemme just say I think Keith Gill as a real life person, looks better than Paul Dano playing him.

phoneymouse,

Academic philosophy is mostly concerned with the Greeks and Germans. The Romans had their philosophers, but they did not have the same influence on modern thought.

Also, often times philosophers do use an original word or phrase because it cannot be translated well into English. Language evolves over time and concepts as they were originally understood can be lost or muddled by modern uses of a word used to substitute. Also, etymology is more and more important in philosophy.
