3·2 months agoI guess the point was to NOT buy devices that require tinkering.
I see you like when something threatens your livelihood.
Unfortunately most of our local politicians remained there with the crazies.
3·2 months agoI have Mullvad running all the time, and I’ve had this issue with one unpopular app and one online store website.
What’s really bad is the number of captchas 🤖
Interestingly, I use Instagram with Mullvad for over a year now, both app and web. Reddit seems to be working fine too. Maybe that’s because I opened accounts without a VPN.
As someone who self-hosted it, I can’t say this is true.
The MySQL or MariaDB databases are the recommended database engines.
The standard might be complicated if you want the specifics, but for everyday use it’s incredibly simple, and I love it. The number of times I needed this information is 1, even though most of my devices, including an external monitor, are USB-C.
Do people care? You just plug in your thing and it works, fast enough in most of the cases.
I’d be down if Discord offered optional/default compression for images/videos. Yeah maybe my photos are 10 MB each, but with a slight quality loss they can get under 1 MB. Telegram does it well.
What issues does 6 have? My experience has been great, but I have nothing to compare it to.
- push notifications
- websites that tell you “use our app”
- better UX
Can’t wait for your self-driving car to go out of memory mid ride.
I’m so fucking tired of reading musk nonsense…
- All of my banking apps work, I have 6 of them.
- You can buy an older Pixel, 5 or 6. They’re still great.
Can they develop a paint that reduces the amount of cars? That would be more helpful.
I feel like the difference is not that big, though.
If you rent, your landlord has a right to enter your apartment, even though they rarely use that right. Sometimes, they can check on things. The same applies to apartments in personal ownership: if police has a warrant, they can enter and see if there’s illegal activity. So based on this analogy, no, apartments are not “encrypted” chat rooms, and I don’t think any significant number of places would be considered “encrypted” or “fully private”, if you must.
Continuing with the analogy, Telegram can view and intervene in the activity on the platform, just like landlords or police, but Durov, let’s call him a landlord, protects privacy of his tenants, not letting the law enforcement in.
Speaking of E2EE platforms, I’m sure there’s crime happening on them, because it’s logical for criminals to use more secure protocols, yet I don’t see the same arguments made about them. It’s just they are providing the same (better!) tools to the criminals without an option for law enforcement to see the content (but perhaps with options to ban on request).
And frankly I don’t think there’s too big of a difference between E2EE and non-E2EE platforms in terms of conscience: the former just deliberately deprive themselves of an opportunity to see what content goes through their services.
P.S. that said, I don’t think it’s ok that Telegram promotes the service as private, and that Durov ignored requests to nuke known illegal activity.
Does that mean if you provide an E2EE service, you are a criminal too, because you let people to commit crimes on your platform, you’re just unable to see them? It’s like having a mall with no surveillance or security.
For SMS/MMS, I find Right Messages to be quite good. For RCS, I don’t think there are any alternatives. And surely you know about the variety of messengers (Matrix, Signal, …).
