Sure? I did WK in 1.5 years and then just started reading stuff. Now I'm about 4 years into studying and read about 30-40 books. Wanikani is just the tip of the iceberg, as it doesn't give you nearly enough vocabulary to be comfortable with texts. Of course I did spend a lot of time listening, too, which helped. I'm just now starting to not have to really lookup stuff when reading Murakami or Higashino Keigo. Still see new words every day, though.

Although I'd say there's not really a point in saying one 'knows' kanji, the bulk of your understanding comes from knowing words. There's so many of them reading is going to be a struggle anyway, but it slowly gets easier.

Unfortunately no group calls yet.

> WhatsApp doesn't do it and that's just for text. I'm pretty sure Signal doesn't either.

Wow this is news to me. Glad I'm not using whatsapp since forever.

Signal definitely encrypts group chats since forever: https://signal.org/blog/the-new-textsecure/

Even better, Signal.

Why? Longtime irssi user here.

I stopped using DDG a few days ago, when I noticed the !g flag is not encrypting traffic to google anymore, it just redirects to google.com. Do you know what is up with that? Using startpage now.
