It seems important for society that these spaces still exist.

TCOM is a combination of my two projects, terminalphone, and terminalcam.

Using very limited resources, you can establish a connection to any terminal via Tor as the backbone, then using openssl as a second layer encrypt the entire payload independently of Tor for another layer of defense.

Please give it a look! Soon, I am working on a way to shrink the video message even further with some different techniques. In it's current state, the audio/video compression is very nice and usable with the bottleneck of Tor latency

From google

>We had previously announced Play Age Signals API (beta) to help you meet your obligations. Play Age Signals API version 0.0.3 is ready for your integration now. In the coming weeks, Google Play will require age verification for new users in Texas and the API will start returning age signals for eligible Texas users.

Does this mean I can't distribute to Texas unless I implement this into my application?

I think I will probably just end up not distributing to Texas I do not support this at all.

I use your comment

The same way you [prevent] yourself from [engaging] with trolls. Be alert, [pay attention], when you get the [sense] you are engaging in [fake content] (or with a troll) then [disengage].

The same way you [prohibit] yourself from [involving] with trolls. Be alert, [take note], when you get the [hunch] you are engaging in [fluff] (or with a troll) then [withdrawal].

That's enough data to encode.

Does even matter? As long as the replies are sufficiently relevant, and I am completely blinded.

Ive made something I was surprised is even possible to make which is both fun and daunting in the context of what will be possible in the future.

I asked AI to scrape HN comments into the a large corpus of templates that would be ideal to encode messages in. To my surprise it had nothing preventing it from doing this. It did it instantly. Then I asked it to plug the corpus of templates into this other thing I made which encodes plaintext into small compressed data.

Now I can encode secret messages into HN comments.

Here are a few examples:

> 71 coherent cover texts hiding a secret message https://postimg.cc/mtMmxPkD

and

> 30 cover texts https://postimg.cc/crXVHDwQ

All this really got me thinking, with a sufficient amount of data, you could eventually make something that looks completely believable and relevant to a conversation that is taking place.

How will we know in the future that what we are replying to is not some bot with alter motive? And, how much of this place is already that?

On the topic, what have you guys made that made you think... "Wow, I can't believe I can make this seems potentially dangerous" ?

If one piece of the message is missing it will not decode.

Then it dawned on me while I was playing guitar...why don't I make a program that records audio and hashes the input. Is this not a TRNG? The input would never repeat since there will always be slight difference.

What am I missing?

So I'm not actually being more productive, but I've cut my costs significantly to do the same things I could do before.
