I mean, arithmetic order is just convention, not a mathematical truth. But that convention works in the way we know, yes, because that’s what’s… well… convention

Absolutely, google does that shit constantly, well known within the internet standards community

I suppose when you make a ring out of natural rust it will break in not too long

So I went and looked it up, and signal-desktop is listed as a reproducible build, so theoretically you should be able to go and check that it conforms to the source

https://reproducible.archlinux.org/

But this isn’t anything I’ve looked into myself, so feel free to look into it

And you also need to trust your OS not taking screenshots of your apps or recording the text displayed onto your screen

There’s plenty of links in this chain, there’s a lot you need to be aware of if you’re going to those lengths. Pick your battles

It’s also in the official arch repositories, so any arch-derived distro has an easy install. I don’t know about other distros however

Signal has a Linux client though? I literally use it myself

Two editions, the current one and previous one, I believe

And the space hog is like a few gigabytes. I think that’s well worth it for a beginner when it means that in the worst case you can always roll back when we have like terabytes of space

I do also want to point out that stuff like “The conservation of energy” law, in other words, that energy cannot be created or destroyed, does not hold for our universe with our current models. An expanding universe violates the time-translation symmetry

This is our current models. This is what our current physics says. And we know it’s incomplete.

When it comes to scientific predictions, you always, always, need the caveat, “under our current model of”.

Time capsule for future society that can crack our encryption

Perfect protein to write a paper about

“we can’t ensure the data is safe because there’s too much of it”

…sounds like an especially big reason to figure something out, huh? Not to mention, 858 TB isn’t even that much for a whole ass government. For a consumer it might be 10$ per TB for a new drive, so it would be less when you’re a government, which makes it just a bit under 10 000 USD for a full backup. That’s it. Even if you budget in having to replace all drives once a year, 10 000 USD/yr is a bargain

Well, a properly managed cloud storage service very much should be multiple locations with redundant copies of data lol yes. So you’re not wrong in that.

That’s really funny. It’s such a specific situation too. Almost like a comedy sketch

What else would it be? What do people think the cloud is?

Unless you play modded 1.7.10, which has a mod (LWJGL3ify) that has had some sort of ungodly work done to allow it to run with modern java versions.

GregTech: New Horizons is a modpack that famously uses it (and I can confirm the modpack runs better than it has any right to do)

I’m not on my PC so can’t check, but I recall the Godot engine binary being less than 1GB

That’s pretty wild for a modern engine

I think you have no idea what you are talking about

Do you think that European countries want to go on an offensive war with Russia or something? No, the discussion has always been about a defensive one

The statement doesn’t follow. Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok have nothing to do with people’s willingness to break laws. Those platforms are popular because people want what they offer.
