The real correct answer is that it only works mod 4

Hanlon's razor. I myself had no idea that 88 had any nazi-related meaning before I read this article and thought nothing of the title when I first heard it. It seems perfectly reasonable that the dev could have done the same, especially since they were willing to almost immediately change the name and remove all existing promotional material once they found out.

Something that I've noticed across most of the microwave ovens that I've used is that when they hum while cooking food, I can pick out 2 distinct tones. One of them is pretty clearly ~~60~~ 120 hz, the 2nd harmonic of the AC power frequency. The other is consistently a minor 7th above that (which would be somewhere around ~~106-108~~ 212-214 hz depending on the exact ratio). What causes this 2nd frequency to be produced?

Edit: after checking against a tone generator, the low frequency is actually 120 hz, double the grid frequency. The question is still the same, just an octave higher.

Unfortunately, until and unless peertube can pay creators (so basically never), it will only ever see use by foss enthusiasts, and even then only hobbyists will use it as their primary platform. For someone making a career out of it, youtube is pretty much the only real option at the moment.

A QA tester walks into a bar,
orders a beer,
orders 2 beers,
orders 0 beers,
orders 4294967296 beers,
orders -1/12 beers,
orders HGdIhFNPiHPWUDmUfWIFi beers,
orders a zebra

First real customer walks in,
asks where the bathroom is,
the whole bar catches on fire

I would use "what's known as", e.g. "Western countries belong to what's known as the Paris club"

That's often also used in the other way though.

first they had machine code
then they wrote the assembler in machine code
then they rewrote the assembler in assembly
and assembled it with the machine code assembler
then they wrote the C compiler in assembly
and assembled it with the assembly assembler
then they rewrote the C compiler in C
and compiled it with the assembly C compiler
then they had the C compiler
and everything else was written in C

(note: this is a massive oversimplification and ignores much of the history of programming languages, but it at least gets across the idea of how bootstrapping is done)

Signal doesn't trust messages server side.

What does this have to do with their ability to support reproducible builds?

Because they have unfathomably ridiculous amounts of money that they spend on lobbying (read: bribery) so that they stay not responsible.
