The current mood of many people reminds me of the fall of 2001, and the principal author of the Patriot Act is about to be president.

If you need Parler on your Android device:

Choosing Telegram over WhatsApp is a downgrade in terms of privacy: groups are not end-to-end encrypted and end-to-end encryption is opt-in on 1:1 chats. You need to trust them with your data.

With Signal, you don't, *everything* is e2e encrypted.

> that would suck if this place turned into another GAB

It couldn't turn into Gab. There's too much trap porn and anime for that to ever happen.

@tija Everyone that has ever cared about a stream of text and doesn't use awk has done themselves a disservice. Like the initial one-liner version of that would have been like this but on a single line:

$3!=p {print ""; p=$3}
{printf(".")}

It goes "[predicate][block]", each line that comes through (or whatever you use as the record-separator) goes through each block, if the predicate matches it executes the block. Timestamp is the third field, so for each line, it checks it the time it checks if the timestamp is the same as the last one we saw and prints a newline if not, then saves the timestamp. Then it hits the next block, no predicate so it always executes, printing a dot. Really simple, immediately useful.
