When I was in school every room had a landline phone that could make calls both within the building and externally. Is this not the case now? What advantage does it give for everyone to have a phone? Wouldn’t that just create more variables, chaos and panic to deal with during an actual emergency?

We have only received two emails to our legal team inbox, last one on Sep 6 with a 48-hour deadline. This is unrealistic for a company the size of Proton, especially since the message was sent to our legal team inbox on a Saturday, rather than through the proper customer support channels.

Semi-unrelated, but back when I worked weekends in phone support, nothing came close to the satisfaction of delivering a “no, we can’t do that right now” or “sorry, but that’s not even our issue” to some cranky bastard on a Saturday morning. Then, after listening to a fully grown adult have a tantrum, promising that a superior would reach out during business hours… Monday. I knew full well they would spend 2 full days stewing, only to hear back from someone in management who would say something like “the agent you spoke to was absolutely correct, we don’t have any control over the quality of your Internet connection, we are not your ISP, go talk to them, goodbye.” I was lucky to have some pretty based individuals I would report to - sometimes they’d even let me listen in on those escalation calls live to enjoy the resulting unhinged meltdowns. Talk about catharsis.

This is exactly how it’s meant to be used. People who think it’s to be used for more than what you’ve described are not serious people.

Thanks!

Very cool, thanks for your response!

For some reason I assumed this was already how the fediverse worked, but I haven’t been here very long and it does explain some things, including the “empty” vibe in some lesser-populated places.

This is super exciting for the fediverse and, naturally, I have questions. While this change will mostly bring positives and a better experience for users, there could also be more opportunities for shenanigans.

What considerations are being given to data integrity/mutability and trust? Will all servers that touch a post have a distributed record of all comments and give network confirmation (a la blockchain)? Or does one server (e.g. the originator of each post, or the server with the most resources) act as a single authority of that post? Something else?

Could one server be instructed to “go rogue” and submit bad content to the network, or go on a deletion/overwriting spree that ends up becoming permanent?

What about resources? What impact will backfilling have on your average dude hosting a small instance?

This is just where my mind goes, you see. I’m sure all this and more have been discussed and figured out already. If a public discussion is available to look at, I would love a link!

Wow, you really managed to suck the fun out of it huh

Ok

I’m adding it to my KinkedIn

Ideally, they wouldn’t

I graduated in 2011, and same. My high school had a pretty janky mix of various Dell Inspiron towers, running mostly Windows XP but with a handful of Windows 2000 and ME machines that for some reason (prolly hardware too old) escaped their upgrades. We went through impressively comprehensive MS Office training and even Computer Tech classes (essentially an intro to an intro to computer science where we learned data concepts and built a PC).

A few years later, 90% of those machines had been scrapped, the mandatory courses were all gone and the kids all had cheap crappy Chromebooks. Now any tech courses are just electives and the students are expected to magically know how to use the software they’re required to use. (Because “they’re young, of course they know it!” Nevermind that they’ve only used iPads since birth).

Consequently, any class involving a computer, even if it’s just word processing for English essays and such, has the teacher taking time out of instruction to show the students how to use the stuff. Otherwise there are problems. It’s a sorry state of affairs and a lot more kids are getting left behind when it comes to tech. Google might be the worst thing happening to education now if it weren’t for the GOP.

I don’t believe you
