I think it’s by request. the fdroid team build every single app in their repos which means that they are not always fully up to date, so signal argues that whenever they need to push a security release people on froid would take forever to update.

I think I’ve had this issue with simplex. I’ve had to wait over 2 weeks for an update. That’s why I’m using obtanium for it instead

Tbh. This took waaay longer than i expected. They bought it con 2014. I didn’t even know a company was capable of holding its enshitification tendencies that long

Found a paper about it

What did you do to get banned BTW?

Those devices may have a fingerprint. A lot devices can be uniquely identified. Here is an example that I read a long time ago so it might be wrong or I might not remember correctly.

Your phone has a gyroscope, compass and accelerometer. Those tools are not perfect. Your compass does not point straight north, so it has to be calibrated. That calibration produces like a 6digits offset (0.739842). If you look at all the calibration numbers for a device you get a number that is basically unique for each phone. So even if you used different networks, they can still know that you used a device that you had previously used or associated with you account somehow. That’s why brave is an important step in what I said.

Unbanned? No.

Make a new account? Maybe. But I don’t really know. I’d try with a paid VPN, and brave browser private window ( some time ago I tested brave, Firefox and chrome for fingerprinting, and brave gave good results out of the box)

The thing is that you (probably) made not effort to hide your identity. The people that make the bots, use all of them

For you the process is :They banned one of your accounts. That account last logged in from IP A. Right after that, someone using that IP is making a new account. Probably same person. Banned again

For the bots, at a minimum is: they just banned and account. That account always logs in using a very popular VPN. Their browser is non fingerprintable. We can’t just ban any new accounts created from that VPN. Registration allowed. (Probably show a captcha)

The right amount

The other day I realized they did that because its APPle. I have no evidence but I’m sticking with it

The people that voted for “people” get a (small) payout.

Up next: the Taliban authorities indecisive about it’s next move, after people start betting on what they’ll ban next

I’d round up to one and a half. Also remove “bytes” and “bites”. 1.32 MB is “one and a half megs” or even “a meg and a half”

Agree. I have to assume this is satire.

I guess its a matter of opinion. To me it’s parody. In fact, I find this joke more fun BECAUSE I know the original.

Ill bet right before the deadline, they will magically make TPM optional, even though they said they wouldn’t.

Instead of commenting about wikipeading on a wikipediaing comment. Just move on

AFAIK, lina is a trans woman, so you might want to rephrase the alter ego part. Also, I do not understand the part that they “quit already”. Do you mean that this dude started working on Apple GPU drivers then quit and then line picked it up? Why would that be a bad thing?

You can compress with the method above to save more space. But you have to uncompress before watching

What. If you compress them to zip, 7zip, rar, etc. You will never get any artifacts

I got some serious skirym flashback
