thank you! It felt like xkcd!

 

Can you help me find it? It presents a typical situation like:

  • I love LOtR (or something else)
  • what's that?
  • You never watched LOtR? It's impossible. How could it be? Etc etd
    Then it goes through the mathematics of the rate of discovering things through your lifetime to prove that even if something is popular, it's not unreasonable to be discovered by someone new. And it concludes that situation like those should be a moment of joy and excitement that you are witnessing someone discovering new great art.

Sounds familiar? Please help me find it.

ok... but why? Loss feels like the culture eating it's own tail.
For me loss is a Tic Tack of content: "Suggar free", yet it's all empty calories somehow.

This is the part that resonated with me the most as the casual user. The interface is, so confusing that the differences between various forms of chats seems deliberately unclear. And all that's "useful" is opt-in. And Groups - most used in corporate or project setting, can't be encrypted at all? That's... peculiar.

Again, thanks for the eye-opener.

No, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate it. What I do right now is sending this article with TLDR to all my friends and family.

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Any advice for people that used it in the past? After reading the article, my understanding is that what was sent in "private chat" was in fact encrypted (for the most part) and can be considered secured (to the degree - something is off and, maybe we didn't find out yet, how the encryption is compromised). But it would wise to treat all other conversations as something that is compromised. Is this a fair summary?

Well, it was obvious to you. I'm a casual user, who tries to "do his best" and consider himself "somewhat informed" - obviously not by your standard. It was all news to me, and I find tremendous value in this article.

Go for the Owls and sent the letter up with a rumor that the De-Gnoming procedure is about to start. They are not that bright. They will run down to you.

I don't know.... if only we have something like hard data from things like investing that could prove that women are better and making long-term decision and are less likely to make a rush decisions based on short-lived noise. You write like it's something we know from at least from early 2000s. It's not like it's a strong and growing consensus now, right?
