You presumably have a common usage for it, why not create an alias for that usage?

I dont consider Bezos or Zuck as “tech nerds”, more MBA scum. Tech nerds give us stuff like Linux kernel and 3d printers. MBAs look for how they can exploit those gifts to exploit us.

I got my family onto signal. The app is basic, but that is kinda a benefit when getting half-blind 90yo’s onto it.

I switched from hangouts when they killed group calls by trying to be zoom.

No regrets, but group calls sometimes dont ring, which is annoying. Mostly good though.

"I hear you, and I get what your saying. If I understand you correctly, what you really need is AI in a watch! Dont even need NFC, the AI will do the Payments for you! Its gonna be amazing. And if the AI is good enough, we can just drop the screen entirely!! How cool will that be!! I got our best engineers on it, releasing next quarter, $599. Pro version packs a vape at $799. Single use battery as well, save you needing to charge it!! "

Turned your dream into a nightmare, you’re welcome :)

How is the “fraction of compute” being verified? Is the model available for independent analysis?

I think idea is that the app would already be there, for a journalist, having Signal is probably a given.

A journalist or political figure can install a $5 VPN.

And even in their own example attack against the Discord CTO, their location got them down to 90% of the US. I could have guessed that without the attack.

Do any of the good VPN providers leak DNS? Most VPNs claim to allow evading geolocation, if they leaked DNS that wouldnt be true?

Doesn’t even guarantee physical location, only the location of their VPN endpoint.

Quite overblown, this tracks people to the nearest cloudflare region. Not really de-anonymising, especially as you have to already know their contact details.

Its not for me, but at least its not “Love is patient” 🤮

Semi related, but I hate how every wedding seems to do the “Love is patient, love is kind” reading. Have some originality…

Are you running zfs on multiple slow spinning disks? Might just be that they are taking too long to spin up?

The kernel boot time is very slow, that is probably worth investigating first, but I dont have any theories there :(

Regulatory intervention is supposed to happen before the issue occurs, not after…

As a developer (not affiliated with either of those projects), you have to understand a couple of points:

1. Adding features means increased maintenance burden. Any feature that is added must be tested and maintained, and once released, often cannot be changed without significant user push back.

2. Users often have no idea what they actually want. If a project just implements what every user asks for, it’ll end up being a disjointed mess of a project. Developers have to draw a line somewhere.

3. Unless someone is paying for the work, developers have zero incentive to make changes. A democratic committee can make all the requests they like, but unless the developers are on board, nothing will happen. (Also, tying into 2, but good luck getting a committee of users to agree on anything)

The only real answer is to fork the software, make the changes and hope that either everyone switches to your fork, or the upstream accepts the changes. That is the Open Source way of doing things.

If you have a cheapo handheld radio and a phone you can get them, doesn’t take very special equipment.

Does take a lot of luck though.

Got this with a bf-f8iii + phone, got super lucky
