A pretty comprehensive introduction into what end-to-end encryption *actually* means in the context of instant messengers (mostly): what data specifically is encrypted where, and what popular misconceptions in this field are routinely used for marketing purposes.

Friendly reminder: Discord is insane spyware. Don't use it under any circumstances.

Before giving online data, I ask myself:
1. What am I providing?
2. Who can see it?
3. What can they do with it?
When in doubt, don't let it out.

Pero el término está basado en una idea errónea 🐺👇

i would advise anyone wishing to migrate to America from a developing country to consider other countries, perhaps one in Western Europe. while America may improve your standard of living, it's a very tough and competitive environment, you will receive minimal help from the government, healthcare costs you money, wages are poor for the working class even for the locals, and the politicians are more corrupt than most other developed countries.

if you migrate to the EU/EFTA/EEA area, you have more options. once you're established, you can easily move to another country if you don't like the one you're in at the moment. just find a job within 3 months of arriving there and you're good to go. you don't have to apply for a visa. within the Schengen area, you don't even need to display your passport to cross the borders.

Instance admin just lost their job, might need help 

Mstdn.social is one of the largest and nicest instances on the Fediverse, run by an enthusiastic admin called @stux

Unfortunately Stux has today found out that they are fired from their day job 😞

However, by happy coincidence, Stux had just set up a hosting company. If you need web hosting, domain names etc please consider using Stuxhost so that Stux can continue working:

IQ Tests? 

@Angle iirc, the numbers are supposed to be adjusted so that 10 points represents one standard deviation. So 130 would be around top 2%ish, mid 120s and 4% seems about right.

If you read up on the development of IQ, it's pretty much bullshit. The tests are more likely checking similarity to white dude college professors, because those are the 'smartest' people the test writers know. Toss in some eugenics use, cultural bias, and the fact that you can study for a test that supposedly tests something innate, and separating baby from bathwater gets complex.
