*we all have our cross to bear

you mean

90% of piracy is technically savvy workers taking back something they produced for a tiny fraction of what it was worth, often something which was abandoned, or people stealing movies. Yes, there are teenagers who will pirate indie games. Most of them didn’t have the money for them anyways.

If piracy wasn’t possible I would probably be against computers entirely

Xi Jinping.

Movim if they’re private, or interested in computers, otherwise I have had success with Pixelfed and Funkwhale. I don’t bother explaining any of the weirder forks or what Mastodon or Pleroma is. People want somewhere to post photos and videos on, and I just want to be able to see ActivityPub posts

I have heard the reasons why, but I still can’t wrap my head around Mastodon’s decisions regarding the ability of reactions to carry between instances & profile search. The solution to a problem should never be “scroll for 7 minutes”. All of the instances still doing that should move on, because the whole “dopamine loop” neuroscience meme is nothing confirmed or worth breaking core site features over.

Oh hey it’s one of Signal’s main vulnerabilities again @rysiek@szmer.info

Oh, you’ll just have forgive me for not diving into the high-level discussion of whether Signal is better for furries because of the UI needs of differently-abled individuals. It’s just too complicated for me. 😖

That answers all my questions about you, like whether you’re able to provide an answer in good faith. It seems your issue is that I understood your clear subtext. I’m sure you’re not worried about a country with telecom and botnet rivals to the USA producing anything of consequence, why would you write about anything of consequence?

What would me exploding first contribute to the UI? Please don’t treat this as a joke suggestion. It would be good.

So what’s your explanation if Russia follows through on this messenger development? It’s not unrealistic at all. Do you dislike this point because it doesn’t play into your characterization of Durov? He’s been very clear that his platform is for idiots and he will comply with any government’s law enforcement. Is the scandal just that it isn’t exclusive to the USA? The west’s telecom monopolies as they extend into law and covert action can’t last forever. Other countries are rapidly developing now, and as neoliberalism continues dying it will accelerate. Telegram seems more like a product of this weird interegnum period.

That guy again lmao why do “security researchers” keep recommending signal with that softheaded blog. Get real

Cool. I use Chrono for clock, just try it, it’s the best.

I don’t recall Fossify Clock being worth it. Calendar is fine although I would be wary of using certain notification settings (which are a bit annoying since they can only be changed by category, and need to fire once per category before being edited), since I ended up unable to turn mine off without restarting my phone. 😅 I was really messing around with those settings though. I just use it to keep track of historical birthdays and event anniversaries now since Orgzly Revived is my preferred time thing. The caldav syncing is a no brainer, though. It would be fine with Thunderbird/Betterbird on desktop.

Voice Recorder is good, I’ve been using it a lot actually. Paint seemed superfluous. Calculator is awful. The Launcher exists. Notes is okay, they should add encrypted sync and I might use it someday. Joplin and Markor are better. Camera is okay + exists. Keyboard gave me a horrible bug where it was unable to work on my phone unlock screen, three times. I had to wait for my phone battery to run out when that happened, because of its charmingly unremovable battery. Have not used music player since I have VLC.

Honestly it really depends, I found their phone app somewhat buggy. The contacts are great. Messages I had an issue where the archive didn’t even work and just seemed to delete stuff. Which would have been really annoying if I actually needed anything deleted. Gallery is okay, nothing wrong with it. The file manager is as good as your operating system lets it be (IYKYK), but you’re already on Lineage so you’re fine.

If liberals refuse to say water is wet, eventually the Nazis will be trotting it out like they came up with it. Doesn’t really help anyone to deny that intelligence collaboration with USA bloc is mandatory for tech companies.

Does Carlson, who wanted to join the CIA and supported all kinds of neoconservatives throughout his career, really pose any challenge to this? No, he is just going to inoculate Trump supporters from the information being used against the right, which paints itself as “against the New World Order”. Fascism has done this since its inception, such as with Mussolini and others posing as anticapitalist critics as part of their eclectic strategy to gain support while out of power.

This article you guys are getting worked up about is just silly. Telegram is obvious cop shit, but like most “cybersecurity” analysis, this only treats enemies of the US as a threat. Imagine if we gave any real weight to this kind of association with US, Europe, or Israeli intelligence. They’re the actual pioneers of spying technology for the past 70 years.
