Devs today are just lazy
what's wrong with setting physical switches, store those bytes and after a very short hour you have your basic interpreter typed in and can start inputting your code from paper.
Of course you need to do this every time you turn the device on.
Todays devs with all their ansible, complex pipelines and mental health are just lazy and detached and lack the extreme hazing and alcoholism used back in the good old days.
Yeah i'm not serious I just spitball

If only the unix gods saw how much processing power I use to open a pretty version of kdiff3
(no the impl is not related at all and the DX of kdiff3 is total ass and jetbrains diff is heaven on earth but this was the only way I was able to make that parallel grammatically work in my head)

My usage of emacs in the past was more intense.
I noticed that I unironically use nano for text processing on console and every time I neee a digital post-it note I open a gedit, detach it from i3 and then it floats as a post it sized window atop my other windows.
Yeah I feel like in the future I might want to use vim or set up emacs server but that future is not very near as I am quite fine using the worst editors possible.
Also:
idea diff
only opens the diff tool without a project etc

unironically i have no idea how to copy and paste in emacs. I only remember y = yank and even there I was not sure what that does
muscle memory is the only way I can copy paste, create new buffer, change between windows or access the undo tree. As soon as start thinking I'm like "I have no idea I don't even remember why my hands are on M-x o"
it's funny because it's like "i have no idea what to do now"
* deactivate brain *
oh wow the text now looks like what I wanted but what the fuck did I do

people dislike how I genuinly not eat nutella or ketchup. They think I want to feel special and I think it's just that I dislike the taste.
Especially the hela curry gewürz ketchup fans are fanatics who act like I killed their prophet.
I DO like Volkswagen Gewürz Ketchup it's a bit spicy. Yeah I know I doxxed myself there's only one place where that's a cultural beacon

:BoostOK:
Suche: #Wacken Gruppe
So für gemeinsam Grillen, Chillen, Zelten, Orga.
Als Gruppe kann man Wasseranschluss oder separate Toilette mieten etc.
Suche noch eine Gruppe wo meine Freundin & ich beitreten können.
Kommen beide aus der Region Braunschweig.
Im Freundeskreis und lokalen Metalverein herumzufragen war bisher erfolglos.
Selbstredlich beteiligen wir uns an alle Kosten, helfen beim Planen, Einkaufen, etc.
Ich habe BE Führerschein.

side note: it has been years since Iast used delta.chat
I assume it still uses Autocrypt with its TOFU and PGP.
tl;dr modern encryptions are safe and delta.chat uses modern encryptions

also (an argument which I personally don't like because I prefer encryption never to be broken) assume in 20 years the NSA will decrypt my message of today that I will meet friday with friends at the cinema will the infirmation even have any value? Information has a halflife and in 20 years I won't care that the NSA knows my seating for Furiosa.
Assuming hypothetical quantum computer breakthroughts that don't exist yet.
Assuming not using quantum mitigation which already exists

also, the mentioned attack doesn't really exist in the real world.
As mentioned above, quantum computers would be required to break RSA-based encryption and there are mitigations available for RSA as well as different algorithms which are not vulnerabe to the capabilities of quantum computers.
Many modern encryption standards like AES are unlikely to be broken even if all the energy and all the time of the universe is used to attempt to crack a single message

Delta Chat uses standard encryption technologies so every storage and reply also applies to every signal/telegram/whatsapp/imessage/discord/… message, https connection, vpn et cetera. It's not like delta chat has a unique vulnerability.
Different to other services it's quite resilient in that you can continue chatting in whatever way your mail server enables and you can use other autocrypt/pgp software too there's no vendor lock in it's all open

that's true and cool
I really like the conceptual simplicity of Delta
