Android emulators exist on both windows and Linux allowing the android variant to run on desktop. With most modern machines this is a viable alternative to running natively, with some overhead of course.

Since you seem to understand it then:

How do two clients communicsting over a proprietary network negotiate an end to end encrypted chat channel without sharing keys in an easily decrypted manner?

It seems to me that some kind of handshake needs to occur where the clients need to agree on a cypher, so how does this happen securely?

I’m not worried about encryption being broken, it just seems like if you’re handing the keys over the mail, it’s pretty easy to xray the package and copy the key, is the same not true over digital communication?

Not by default, but yea it is encrypted, I use almost exclusively encrypted chats through TG, even my voice and video calls are encrypted through TG.

E2e encryption is security theater though, a chance for companies to tell states “We’D lOvE tO hAnD oVeR tHaT dAtA bUt ItS eNcYpTeD”.

In reality, it doesn’t matter, if someone wants to snoop on your convos you can’t stop them.

This is an XY solution but…

Telegram and similar services offer both calling and texting and can be carried across devices. It’s linked to the same phone number, all folks would have to know is “between these hours call telegram”

~~At 5’8" a BMI of 17 has you at 90 pounds. Being “accustomed” to being dangerously thin just means you’re ignoring the warnign signs that your body is eating itself alive. ~~

Ok that’s on me for trusting random charts in a duck duck go search.

Can confirm, even when I was still in the closet my barista game went the fuck off when I dyed my hair.

In all seriousness, doing wild stuff with your appearance can give you a lot of confidence, confidence you need to make bomb drinks and do cool tricks on the bar.

My one complaint in your comment is the “if you’re a good artist you’ll find work”, it’s simply not true.

I’m a shit artist (im an untrained outsider slapping paint on surfaces to vaguely resemble what my clients ask for) and I find work, yet none of my friends who are legitimately talented are finding anything.

Twm, I’ll extend it as needed.

See if postmarket has a release for your device, pretty sure it’s alpine with a mobile UI

I wish Fedora worked for me, something about it just doesn’t run right on my lappy and I like to have the same distro on all my machines so it’s a nogo across the board for me.

I like Fedora, it’s nice, it just absolutely won’t play nice with my macbook and I’m not gonna get a new laptop just for better Fedora support when this 14 year old hunk’o’junk still works perfectly with mint.

Rolling release/bleeding edge means security updates roll out fast.

I’ve got a blank macbook air at home waiting for a project.

I’ve never undergone a project like this without cheating by using bedrock linux as an intermediary then “Unbedrocking” my install (officially impossible, unofficially insane) with another PM as my default to convert from debian to arch years ago.

This is gonna be fun, or hellish, idk I’ll find out.

For stuff like this to work correctly it must not be filtered through an MoE, it needs to be a direct prompt to a GenAI model that supports negative prompts.

Edit: I suppose a properly configured MoE with reasoning capabilities could probably do it

My game changer was circa 2014 when I broke something and got dropped to a basic shell and for the first time instead of panicking and immediately reinstalling I thought for a moment about what I had just done to break it, and undid the change manually. Wouldn’t you know it booted right up like normal.

The lesson here: if it broke, you probably broke it, and if you know how you broke it, you know how to fix it.

I use mint on my daily-driver/gaming-rig/mediaserver. I’ve been a Linux user for 20 years, eventually you just want a normal distro with sane defaults. Mint is wonderful.

Stevchard Jollman is making me really uncomfortable.

It’s because men, as you are demonstrating perfectly, are really good at being toxic without realizing it. Many women avoid male content crestirs for this reason.

Weirdest experience I ever had back in my barista days was an older gentleman approaching my counter and ordering a “GI Coffee”. I had no idea what he meant and he had to explain it to me. It’s an Americano.

Nothing like discovering live-leak before first grade

I don’t think Puerto Rico wants statehood, pretty sure they (like most of the US’s other stolen land outside of the continental span) would prefer to be an independent nation

Carl says I’m wrong and brought reciepts.
