Why is calculus a required course for computer science? Is it just some kind of humiliation ritual that faggot college professors like to force on everybody because they were forced to go through it too? What does memorizing all the different specific intricacies of how to integrate functions by hand possibly have to do with writing software? I honestly don't understand it and I've never seen anyone offer a rational explanation for it.

Bst battle station - paper towels ready to go on desk edition

Odd question but the one I have to ask - how "safe" it is to use social media nowadays?

By "safe" I mean the whole data collection and profile making, even when you don't provide info on your own, totally aware of the fact. Let me explain the problem. Since last few years, I constantly hit the wall of social media - I cannot play board/wargames because everyone uses solely Facebook to arrange meetings, I cannot show photos outside of /p/ because everyone insist on using FB/IG and don't want to visit my private site, people think I'm suspicious for not owning FB account and so on. I was not using it so far, I even tried making account few years ago but it was auto-blocked after few hours, probably because I used protonmail but it could be something else with IP (since I didn't post anything, only provided name, surname and phone number). I have spare (or two) Gmail addresses so I could try again but question is - assuming I would use separate Firefox profile, just for using FB, would it still collect more data than what I already would provide it (like few photos I'm content with losing but also combination of name, surname, face photo and phone number, which are however already present on LinkedIn)? Assuming I would use it "just" for said meeting arrangements and communication with models, completely avoiding posting on other places, commenting, etc - would it be "safe"? I once heard that only thing FB knows is what you tells it on your own but I want to know how true is that.
