Wow, I’m surprised they got it up that high in a practical application.

They let OpenWhisper do the underlying protocol, so it’s solid. Beats the shit out of a plain text message anyway, and people IRL might actually have it.

Wasn’t Element going to integrate into it as well?

There are people who can do this, I’ve known some. It’s probably genetic, and some people vary in the other direction.

Generally they’re by type of good, IIRC. So, a grocery store can still sell eating apples, but not computers or phones called that.

I’m not sure it was tilted away from them in the first place, but Trump being insane isn’t hurting.

Well, you can put your DNS requests over the proxy as well, so kinda a skill issue. I don’t know if people do though - you’re the professional.

Now that I’ve actually looked at the study, what they did is make an apparatus with continuously adjustable distance to display and try to get people to distinguish scaled, fairly similar clips until they couldn’t anymore.

Actual maximum pixel-per-visual-degree values varied quite a bit based on colours involved and the like. And like @GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org said, they framed the results the opposite way to the article - human vision can distinguish more than previously thought.

A link to the study, because I don’t think I see one in this very clickbait-feeling source.

It sounds like the study actually did include display distance, and gave different requirements depending.

That seems like a failure on their part. Buy more exit IPs.

Because all the videos are still there.

If that seems like a self-perpetuating problem, it’s because it is.

It seems like most people will believe any technical-seeming message shown to them.

No, we’re really all grug cavemen.

Edit: Maybe the programmer gets a copper spear, but we don’t get to be hyperintellegent and still write code this shit.

Like, libertarians? I have to think anyone seriously down the chud rabbithole would be embarrassed to even ride in one. Symbols of tribal loyalty are as big as ever in fascist land.

Looks like somebody’s backpedaling on a definite political statement after it became personally inconvenient.

It’s still possible to be off of the digital surveillance grid, but it is hard and a small subculture at best. I’m in it. It’s less that you’re forced to use whatever thing than that people forget not everyone does.

The Clarke book brought up elsewhere had the the right idea, but the wrong manifestation.

It’s a logical conclusion of facial recognition and mass indexing existing that anywhere remotely public you put your face is just fully public.

Honestly I have less of a problem with that than the illusion of privacy that’s been created anyway. Now we have a whole part of our economy that’s based on creeping on people, which couldn’t possibly exist if it was noticeable.

Dope. This one is new to me.

You can really tell that with the new clusterfucks drawing all the attention, things like social progress and fighting climate change are being neglected.

Edit: And Sudan. I’m less sure about social progress, actually, because it’s always been nebulous, but Sudan has gotten good and ignored.
