1) #CloudAct is just #CyberFacism, look it up!

2) @signalapp 's #Server code is proprietary and since it's centralized we can't trust that the code they release is what's running on their backend!

3) #Signal still demands #PhoneNumbers which are #PII either by association (#Number => #ICCID = #SIM = #IMSI => #IMEI => Location Data as I explained beforetwice) or mandatory #KYC / #ID requirements (even on prepaid cards), which an increasing amount of juristictions do...

→ Stop Treating Phone Numbers As A Digital ID
notthesolution.substack.com/p/

“The big drawback is that [the phone number] approach requires you entirely surrender your privacy. If you know a person’s phone number, it’s not hard to track down all of their personal information from there.”

“Perhaps we might need to work towards […] breaking the internet down into smaller communities that are easier to manage.”

@riffraff. Use buffer ans tabs and terminal commands

Like vim -p $(find ..... )

Then buffalo tabnew
In thé fiesta tab (empty) use terminal to open shell inside vm bellow you keep a vim space to take notes or whatever you want
And tabnext or tabn #number to navigate between tabs

Can be a good help to force productivity

→ -2000 Lines Of Code (via @nitot)

In 1982, managers of the Lisa software team began tracking engineers' progress by the number of lines of code written weekly. Bill Atkinson, a key implementer, optimized Quickdraw's region calculation, reducing code by 2,000 lines and making it six times faster. He reported "-2000" lines of code on the form. Soon after, managers stopped asking him to fill it out.

“The soldiers turned us from names into numbers, and every detainee had a number that they used to provoke him during his arrest and call him by number instead of name. To them, we are just numbers.”

Jeffrey Goldberg

Every once in a while I encounter someone asking how define a #number like 3. And I respond by saying that there are mathematical definitions that define these in ways that get us the right mathematical properties, but those definitions are not going to give you insight into what numbers are.

It will be interesting to see what Frédéric Patras has to say in “The Essence of Numbers”, which I’ve just started to read. The introduction contains

“to justify the existence of the most ordinary numbers, one, two, three…, [the theory] had to resort to abstract processes whose complexity seems to be out of proportion with that of the entities that were being defined.”

SpringerLinkThe Essence of NumbersThis book describes a rich variety of possible approaches to the concept of number. Mathematics, epistemology, history and philosophy are used in turn to address the various problems posed by the existence of numbers. Philosophers and mathematicians interested in philosophy will benefit from it.

"By'm bye, by'm bye,
Star shining,
Number #number 1, number 2, number 3, good Lord,"
sang Ava to the fretful baby in her arms.

It was a cloudy night: you couldn't see star number 1, number 2, number 3, but Ava imagined they must smile when their number came up. But there were billions of stars up there. What about stars beyond 10?

Ava started singing only numbers: 3,799,434,388,234,421,577,236

"That's for you, faraway star, " she whispered, once the baby drifted off.
