I don't filter at all, I don't like the chance of false positives. Like I'm sick of content about a particular EV company, but I wouldn't want to miss news about them dumping their CEO

It's not hard to scroll past stuff I don't like

I use it mostly for family chats, I got the extended family to use it rather than Facebook Messenger

What makes you not trust signal as against WhatsApp?

Much the same in Australia, though we now have more American style churches appearing and I'm not yet willing to judge the people who attend those

It's nice that when Australia's equivalent of MAGA came to Canberra (our capital) to protest, and they had far far fewer than our last workers rights protest

We get a test run of it if self driving gets sufficiently good, and is cheaper than human drivers. That'll free up about a third of the labour force

And you only see the error in classical physics is the very fast orbit of mercury or the precision of GPS satellites

That's close enough for radio. You can't cut an antenna much closer than that precision, and it'll stretch or shrink with temperature anyway. I guess the error could add up enough to be a problem in lengths of fibre optic cables, especially as they run at about c/3

There is no way of producing pi as a number. There aren't enough atoms in the visible universe to write out pi in an 8 bit font. There aren't enough atoms to write out pi in binary with atoms representing ones and empty space representing zeros

I think you need this symbol: ≈
