Did you even read that article? It has nothing to do with what I said. I pointed out that you don't understand how public key encryption works, and you replied with an article about an exploit that does not refute what I said. An exploit that does An exploit that can be avoided by simply not clicking "load images". An exploit that has probably been fixed in a client like Thunderbird anytime over the past six years. An exploit that has nothing to do with revealing your private key.
I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you. You can't even argue in good faith.
You need the private key to sign anything. The public key is only for encrypting outgoing emails which only the person with the private key can decrypt.
People have been using PGP over email for literally decades. You do not know what you're talking about.
I feel very weird calling old games that I thought of as retro "vintage" now, but I guess I have to.
Nah. Maybe? Even I call them retro games sometimes. My favorite gaming hardware YouTube channel is called "Retro Game Corps". It what gamers call them. Depending on who I'm addressing, I use either.
Like I said in my original comment, I was mostly being pedantic. Then again, if the entire gaming world shifted to calling them "vintage games", I'd be thrilled. Someone recently started a thread here titled "What's your favorite vintage game?" And I did a "Not bad Obama" face and nod.
in Victoria, Australia...
Well, yeah! I expect everything be upsidedown and backwards there! 😜
Now I'm curious how the Macquarie Dictionary defines the word. I can't search it myself because it requires a login.
When people are calling modern things they know are modern "retro", I think it's just a simpler form of saying "retro-style".
"People" in general? No. Only certain gamers.
It seems like you missed the entire point of my comment, and you're the exact kind of person I'm talking about. A person who has no idea what retro means. You are using it wrong. And by wrong I mean unlike everybody else in the world.
This is what people mean when they say retro, (except you and some other gamers):
relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past : fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned
Since you mentioned VSCode. I wanted to bring up VSCodium. It's
a fork of VSCode with no telemetry. Yes, it's a full fledged IDE, and probably too much if you just want to markdown editor, but I use it for much more than that, and I think it's great.
Retro means new things that look like they're old. As in "looking backwards" for inspiration. Like pixel art. Prime example: VVVVVV.
I'm mostly being pedantic, but it's a pet peeve of mine that gamers (and only gamers) use "retro" wrong. Every other type of collector correctly uses the word "vintage" instead: Vintage clothing, furniture, coins, wine, etc. And they use "retro" to mean new things that look old, like retro clothing. Only gamers call vintage things "retro".
In my experience when I point this out, gamers just get mad. I don't understand that. But I'm kind of a language nerd who watches linguistics videos for fun. And yes, I know language changes and evolves, and words mean how people use them, and dictionaries are not prescriptive, etc., etc. It's still wrong, damnit! It's a niche use by specific group of people that confuses everyone else with its wrongness.
I had mine off for years. I would look at my subscribed channel feed and that's pretty much it. But I recently turned it back on, and I actually like it. I pretty much only watch videos about science, math, philosophy, technology, SNL, and... Symphony of the Night randomizer races.
My entire recommended feed is just more of the same, and I've discovered tons of new channels to subscribe to. A lot of the channels I subscribe to only post like once every 2-4 weeks. I don't want to have to do a search just to have something to watch at mealtime. Having random things recommended is nice.
If I watch a weird video out of the blue, I might see two or three recommended videos of that kind next time I open YouTube. Not at all like what OP's screenshot is showing. I even went on a deep dive watching Snooker videos and it would still only recommend a few a day. And after I stopped watching him, I no longer see a single one of those videos in my feed.
I'd say it's working pretty great for me. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
I imagine speed limits will be put on DMs at some point in the future. There's no reason to have it wide open so you can firehose multiple people with the same message.
Like, if you're sending a message to someone and they reply back, you can immediately reply back, back-and-forth, as fast as you want. Other than that, you should only be able to send a message once every five or ten minutes.
Sure, but did you at least add context about why you're messaging them? Like some comment or post they made that you liked and you wanted to talk about similar stuff?
Because that would be kind of normal. That's what private messages are for. But this one is just bait.
