You think someone writing custom software can't solve problems?
Also, a 3d printer is just an additive cnc machine, learning how to operate, tweak, tune, write gcode, etc, is an incredibly important skill in manufacturing and r&d, CAD skills are not niche, they are incredibly sought after.
Learning how to use and modify a 3d printer at an early age, as well as learning software development, and practicing connecting disparate systems is one of the best things you could do if you want to become an engineer.
"He can't do back of the envelope calculations, think quickly, or solve problems." This is just made up, completely. That is literally just a fantasy created in your head.
Forever audits of free software are unsustainable in my opinion.
To truly audit every piece of software, you need an independent party to spend time (often more than the development) to look through the code, that person needs to be equally or more experienced than the developers of the software, and have specific knowledge for vulnerabilities and malicious techniques.
They then need to audit and monitor all of the channels of distribution for that software, including various websites and repositories. This needs to be done constantly.
You effectively need to double or more the total level of effort for all software.
Yes, high profile software (sometimes) gets audited regularly, but the assumption that anything you grab from your package manager has been truly audited leads to a false sense of security, additionally the assumption that an audit being performed means there are no issues with the code also leads to problems.
The reality is that most open source software doesn't get audited because it is too much work.
But they didn't implement rcs, which isn't even new, android messaging has supported rcs for four years. Rcs as a whole is 15 years old.
If the plan was to implement rcs, they could have done that during the phase out of sms. But just removing one of the key features that helped people adopt signal (a feature which no other real messaging app did since the dissolution of Google hangouts), with no plan or consumer messaging about a replacement, and basically no real reasoning communicated to the end user is a pretty bad decision regardless of a 'we know best' mentality.
I think both of those exist, I know the first one does, you just have to enable it in settings, and if I swipe to the left all the way on a post it becomes hidden.
I also wasn't challenging you or anything, I just like to hear what other people want to see if it's something I didn't know I would want.
What features? I want to know if I should want them too, haha.
Sync gained a big following because it had a core feature many many moons ago, when having constant cell service was much less common, it allowed you download and save hundreds of posts and all the comments while you were on wifi, so you could browse reddit offline, it did this automatically and in the background (based on your settings ) hence the name 'Sync'. This was a killer feature back in the day, at least for me. As that became less of a need, the app continued to change and add a lot of nice features, like lots of customizations, random NSFW, a very good OLED dark mode, etc, so there was no point in switching to something else.
My .02¢
Amiunique is a good one that demonstrates how just with the specs of the device you are using (os, browser, screen size, browser version, user agent, color pallette, js engine, language, keyboard type, etc) you can create a totally unique fingerprint that can be used to track you without ever knowing your name, or who you are as a person.
