Just download Signal. Cross platform, verifably E2E, and verifiably no data collected by Open Whisper (as per their submission in a lawsuit). Also, one of the authors/architects of Signal occasionally trolls the companies that provide mobile spyware.

In related news, Twitter is up to 80% nazi billionaire despot disinformation bots now. Congratulations!

FYI, finding an incidentaloma and doing another scan 3 months later to see that it's disappeared is also life saving. My mother had a lung problem, got some imaging done, they found a lump in her lung, and instead of going directly to poking it for a biopsy or surgery, they checked 4 months later, and saw that it resolved on it's own. If it was cancer, they would have seen changes in it, and known it was something to be investigated further at the time of the second scan. Doctors need to manage expectations and refer people for therapy if they have anxiety around their health.

To add to this, self-hosting is also best when you minimize everything - limited service, with limited functionality, on dedicated hardware that doesn't share access to your internal network or storage. Folks who use point-and-click apps to install a half dozen unauthenticated docker containers, all open to the internet, running on the same PC they store the only copy of their family photos and music/movie collection on... make me crazy.

Total newb question -- don't these CPUs support multiple clock speeds? You could set it high on install in preparation for compiling a bunch of software, then once you're done, knock it down to 50% or less of the maximum to add longevity?

I always heard this joke as "If you hold a stoat up to your ear, you can hear the sound of your own voice, screaming."

Reeks of desperation to bring back the porn after how literally every other mainstream platform has walked away from it.

Uh, one side is unrelenting about suppressing everyone else's rights, and has demonstrated that they're willing to take control by force and violence if they don't get 'their ideals'. If you're on that side, you're an asshole, and being 'painted' as an asshole is the least that you deserve.

Please stop for a moment, step outside your yourself, and ask... "Am I the baddie?"

The problem is the CPU effort it takes to produce 100 Xits for your timeline, then search that list for everyone on your blocklist, remove those Xits, then possibly go back to the suggestion API to get more since there are only 40 Xits left, etc. etc. is cost prohibitive... Especially when you have millions of users with thousands of accounts on their blocklists.

As a little more background, the letter 'X' can be pronounced as "sh" in a lot of languages, turning tweets into 'zits' or 'shits'. I like 'Xitter' as a pejorative, pronounced 'Shitter'.

I’m going to concede defeat here because obviously I’m not doing a good enough job in explaining my position.

It's because your position is indefensible given recent history and the trajectory of the political landscape.
