I think we are somewhat on the same page here. What matters isn't the word you use, it's the intention behind, which is hopefully obvious from context.

When I get called a nerd, my response goes anywhere between being proud and being insulted depending on context. The word itself has no emotion by itself.

Shouldn't it be the same with many of these words that some people consider racist?

unless you pay for a "service" that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.

Here it's cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I'll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.

The point is they don't have to proof if a piece of random data is indeed an encrypted blob.

But they do need to suspect it.

If they find an encrypted blob, ask for the decryption key, they decrypt the data and analyse the decrypted data, then they may not suspect that a different decryption key will reveal a different set of data.

I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.

Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I'm a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don't see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.

Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don't want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for "the blackness" (I'm very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.

So don't just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.

As far as I can tell, there's basically two kinds of people:

1 - People who just don't care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there's nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.

2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don't always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That's what they are already trying to do.

My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

My first computer wasn't a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.

Security is a spectrum. Telegram has never been the most secure alternative, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have any security.

It's cheaper, especially for such a relatively uncommon battery type.

Yep, the included feet are just something you might be able to use until you get a real mount.

If you really want the TV to stand on furniture, buy a proper vesa mounted stand (they can be very cheap) and maybe even a proper TV table.

Seemingly. ๐Ÿ™‚

My ISP only has symmetric. The cheapest one they advertise costs about 10 Big Macs per month.

I can't speed test my connection as my wifi is the bottleneck. But the way our law is, they can't really lie about speed. The "up to" trick was banned a long time ago.

Wow, US really is different. Here, if you don't have a contract, you don't have a job. Don't even show up for work before you have a signed contract.
