WhatsApp is using Signals protocol for communication: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/

I don’t fully understand what it entails, but from what I understand is that yes, WhatsApp is using the same encryption and message flow that signal uses, but you’re still using Meta’s app, and they can just read the plaintext message from there.

And the EU has been on a roll recently with threatening privacy with chat control, net neutrality, rising right-wing politics in many countries. We’re not a mini america yet, but let’s not pretend it’s all roses and unicorns here, there is a lot of fighting still to be done.

You. When you said “we should” that does kinda imply you’re willing to engage in this as well :P

That’s a fair take. I can relate to the feeling of uncertainty. When I make small donations of a couple of euros I have to push away my feelings that the donation could be seen as insultingly low. It’s hard to judge what a “fair” price is. But after all, many donation buttons say “Buy me a coffee” so I would hope the amount is appreciated either way.

You’re not throwing money out the window though, you’re giving it directly to someone. Someone who has used their craft to create something that has value to you. I’m not necessarily criticising you for not donating, I just want to shift your perspective that your money wouldn’t be valued by other people.

I have quite a few domains through them as well. Haven’t seen anything bad about them and I’ve been treated as a valued customer so far.

It’s not normal to become alienated from your SO because of a meme. The healthy thing for him to do is to open up to his SO about these feelings. This is the same thing as being mad at someone because they were mean in a dream. Bring it up in a conversation, laugh at the silliness of it, and move on.

Oh cool, I didn’t know that and it was the main fear I had from swapping. I really should have just looked it up by now, but oh well.

I don’t think many data hoarders are sitting on the AI generated stuff 😁

I’ve had Spotify since it basically released. I fully switched to a self hosted music library about 5 months ago. I imagine I’ve supported artists more in those 5 months than I did during my 18-ish years of Spotify premium. I still use Soulseek for large artists or quite old albums, but most new releases and remix tracks I pay for.

GPUs also need memory. So they aren’t escaping this from a consumer POV. Not to mention how production capacity is still being sucked up data centres, but now for AI.

Very well said. It’s very much the same vibes as the bear in the woods. If you feel offended by a bear winning out, maybe you should ask yourself why that hurts, and understand why women would make that choice.

I’m a tab collector myself (only around 200 or so), but having multiple windows is just insane. I’m sorry, but that is a hard line I won’t cross. I might open a second window for either private browsing or to keep a video open while browsing in the main window.

I don’t think there is much they can do. No one is going to want to stand up against the US in this, and any escalation from Venezuela would be incredibly costly for them. I suppose there are two things they can hope for; hope the US population throws up enough of a stink the trump changes his mind or wait for something else to come around to occupy his attention.

Are you’re doing it again. Stop the insulting, and ask for a feature like a normal person and someone is a lot more likely to be encouraged to work on it.

Pretty much the entire OSM sphere is developed and populated by volunteers. And they you come along and say they should take their heads out of their ass. Yes, the burden is on the users, because the developers are users themselves. No, not everyone has programming skills, but even nontechnical people can still contribute to the dataset with bus station locations and bus routes.

It’s completely okay to not use a piece of software, and if you have some feedback to give that might sway you, great! But don’t insult the developers because they have limited time and resources.

I mean it’s open source, so you can help out. And there’s no standard for publishing public transport time tables, so it is an incredibly hard task to stay on top of updates from even a single country’s bus and train companies.

Yeah, you’re right. I looked at the GitHub releases which seems to be a very new thing. Their updates in their website goes back much further!

You wouldn’t hear anything bad about it because the project, as far as I can tell, us like 4 months old. It’s far too young for any daily use and to see what the project matures into.
