I don’t have a lot of T-Shirts anymore, but my favourite is probably one from a youth club in eastern Germany with Boss “MyName” (but the wrong spelling) on the back, and the logo of my late father’s long bankrupt company as a sponsor on the front.
It’s funny, but more in a nostalgic way.
It’s not a smiley.
That’s a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.
I’d go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It’s wrong when the U.S. do it, it’s wrong when Canada does, it’s wrong when China does it.
I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.
I wouldn’t even say that. Even if they had a truly unique LLM that ran partially locally with a custom co-processor, Android might still have been a good choice. It’s just hard to beat an open source base that’s already compatible with most mobile hardware, and relatively easy to find Devs for.
I love how everyone is debating “Sells that information to companies”, but no one’s talking about “knows everything you do”.
Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.
Huh, I’ve been in that train. Sudden, random hit of Nostalgia.
I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn’t really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.
I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they’re certainly a pillar of it.
Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.
Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I’m feeling frisky.
I mean, if I felt morally obliged to disclose illegal or immoral practices to the public, I’d be sure to run so somewhere they can’t get me. If there aren’t proper whistleblower protections, you gotta make your own.
one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned
Yeah, let’s keep it to one kind of gambling. I like and use opensuse tumbleweed. Rolling release, never had stability problems.
If I do have time for a night out, my friends and I tend to favour queer establishments. Now a considerable portion of them are queer themselves, but considering the behaviour I’ve seen displayed towards female presenting people in straight clubs and bars, I don’t see how I could stand for excluding anyone from a space where they might feel less unsafe.
Also, I don’t walk on eggshells around my straight friends, or any straight people, really, especially not on a night out. There are OK straight people, and there are not-OK queer people. If someone behaves badly in a bar, they should be kicked out regardless of their identity.
If they don’t have much data on those people’s opinions, how would they check whether the output has anything to do with reality?
I have never worked on a properly hardened desktop app, so I don’t have much of a perspective on that, and can definitely see that it might not be worthwhile for the signal team.
I would appreciate some level of encryption, thinking that it might help with less targeted attacks. I’d also appreciate a Web client, like Threema’s with none permanent sessions. But all that’s, as you’d say in German, “Meckern auf hohem Niveau”, especially since I’m not currently contributing to Signal.
Yes and no. I personally would like to be asked permission for such behaviour, but a gallery application, for example, could have legitimate reasons to index all photos on your system. I personally prefer to manually set the folders it is supposed to index, but that doesn’t seem to be a generally accepted paradigm.
In general, I see why you need to trust that a system your app runs on is uncompromised to a a certain degree, but measures to potentially limit harm in case it is still seem sensible, especially for an app with a focus on privacy and security.
It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.
