  • The self-contained webxdc apps are a pretty cool bonus to what already feels like a normal chat app. I primarily use Signal, but given the current climate of governments trying to force backdoors in to encrypted apps, and the fact it's a US server, I wanted a decentralized backup. And email isn't going anywhere, so it seems like a good option.

  • Yeah, that's when I first used it too, it had to go through your email. Now it just uses the email backbone to send messages back and forth. Also, self-contained webxdc apps you can use with people in your chat, which is kinda cool.

  • There are dozens of us! Dozens!

  • But it worked so well in the 90s! Any year now it's bound to pay off!

  • That's a shame but totally understandable. I hope we return to something sane before they destroy the parks for drilling or logging or whatever. The national park service really has some amazing natural resources.

  • If 2020 Portland was any indication, you're not going to get answers even if they are "legitimate".

  • Can you, uh, remind everyone why that is? I obviously know, but for all those people that need to hear it again?

  • Spain did the same thing after Franco died. All the fascists got off because "it's time to heal and move on" and now they're all in politics.

  • Yeah, I honestly don't know how we come back from this level of radicalization without some form of conflict. If we're going to Balkanize, hopefully it can be done without bloodshed, but…

    Tangentially related, The Office fans jokingly asking if I'd ever been to "Scranton" and then being surprised to learn it was a real place.

  • Can the PNW join you, and thence the EU? You can give up Alberta if it makes it any easier?

  • Same thing happens to me where I'll start emulating local accents. The result is no one can accurately guess where I'm from, even people from my own country. The general answer is "northern Europe" but not from the country of whomever is guessing. But it's the same reason… something is up with my accent, but no one is able to place it.

  • Grew up NEPA, went to school on the main line. Moved away almost 20 years ago, but this brings me back.

  • I've been curious about The Talos Principle if that's still on the table?

  • Oh that's good to know. I took a look at notesnook a bit ago and immediately noped out when it appeared I'd have to get a subscription to do basic stuff.
