I love cryptography! Technical explanation please.

Reminds me of Triangle every time.

Personally I literally cannot finish an entire book until I’m already interested in the subject. I can look up one specific aspect at a time in the encyclopedia, which has worked really well for me in other fields - including other social sciences and philosophies. Then something sparks and the heavy reading doesn’t feel heavy.

I’m interested in human progress in general, but keep being presented with what looks like an imposing wall.

I don’t expect you to spend the time and energy explaining whatever part about communism to that dude right here and now. I just wish they were links to lines of a FAQ, or anything that requires less up-front investment. Capitalism defends itself by limiting our time to read volumes of books.

Of course. What I’m curious about is why (only?) this particular idea requires that particular format. One can explain some pretty complicated ideas over Lemmy! I can be wrong about frogs, someone tells me how their spots work, but I don’t have to read a book about frogs looking for an answer.

The open source alternative to those is currently doing quite well.

I assume they aren’t even bothering anymore. Redditors have proven they’ll put up with anything.

I don’t want to read it either. Are you implying that ICEblock isn’t worth downloading? In your own words, why or why not?

I hope she’s not mad that it worked!

It’s the Live Internet Theory. Everything you’re reading is the sock puppets of one hyperfocused person getting all the dopamine.

She’s hot?
