Am I the only one that hates third-party clients for Desktop? They all have terrible UI and UX. Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go. For the phone it’s NewPipe or Grayjay.

What is with these headlines these days… “Fueling a slowdown”.

doodledup ,

What do you mean? Hypersonic are a multitude faster than 1200 km/h.

The coal is still left why exactly? Besides, neuclear is perfecly climate neutral.

Telegram was never safe because it’s not encrypted. Use something encrypted and open-source, so you don’t need to rely on their promises and service.

Signal is the most popular alternative. Others are Threema, Matrix, Session.

It’s not even encrypted except for encryption at rest. What are you talking about?

Texas State Police Gear Up for Massive Expansion of Surveillance Tech (www.texasobserver.org)

In June, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) signed an acquisition plan for a 5-year, nearly $5.3 million contract for a controversial surveillance tool called Tangles from tech firm PenLink, according to records obtained by the Texas Observer through a public information request. The deal is nearly twice as large as the...

Isn’t the US already a surveillance country?

Do you feel attacked?

Good. Competition is good.

This is completely unrelated.

Besides, how does AI suddenly become sentient?

German leader vows tougher knife laws and more deportations after fatal attack in Solingen (apnews.com)

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed to toughen knife laws and step up deportations of rejected asylum-seekers Monday as he visited the scene of the knife attack in which a suspected Islamic extremist from Syria is accused of killing three people.

Are you American?

This is a phenomenon that’s literally thousands of years old. It’s just basic economics. If there was good competition, there wouldn’t be any price gauging. And that’s the regulator’s fault not the company’s. Americans want their free market, they get their free market. So stop complaining.

That’s why he hired an economist as his minister of defense.

This has nothing to do with privacy either. First of all Telegram is not a private messenger. Secondly, this is a about public forums and groups called Channels. This has nothing to do with backdoors eithe. They are simply asking them to do moderation on chats they already have access too.

Telegram has full access to this data and knowingly ignores child pornography and other criminal activity. If Facebook did such a thing for years you’d be screaming right now.

doodledup ,

This is unrelated to privacy. Telegram isn’t even a private messenger…

Dumbass didn’t encrypt the chats and didn’t do moderation according to local laws. If Facebook did the same as his company did, Mark Zuckerberg would share his fate.

Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 (www.neowin.net)

Let’s put it this way; when Microsoft announced its plans to start adding features to Windows 10 once again, despite the operating system’s inevitable demise in October 2025, everyone expected slightly different things to see ported over from Windows 11. Sadly, the latest addition to Windows 10 is one of the most annoying...

M-Disc Blu-rays last a thousand years literally. It will outlive all of your other mediums a hundred-fold.

Get M-discs. It’s a special type of Blu-ray that lasts for hundrets if not thousands of years. You can use a regular Blu-ray burner to write to it.

If you’re this paranoid for your backups, I’d just go with AWS Glacia and dump all your encrypted data twice a year. You can get a TB of backup for about 1 € / month.

doodledup ,

Do you have any idea what the cost is to restore 50 TB from that?

I assumed you’re only paying per GB storage. At least that’s what their S3 pricing page says. I believe transfer cost only applies if you transfer from one S3 solution to another. I’m not using it myself, so I don’t know the details. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

What happens when they decide to raise the price?

If you depend on AWS you’re doing something wrong. You should at least adher to the 3-2-1 backup plan. If you do so, you can switch away from AWS any time they change their policy.

Valve doing their Valve thing.

doodledup , (edited )

I gave Epic’s store a chance but even after all this time it’s still shit and very far from feature parity with Steam. There’s not even proper reviews. No big-picture equivalent. No good out-of-the-box Linux support. No Steam-Deck. The list is very very long. Until Epic starts delivering, the 30% cut Valve takes is more than justified.

It’s beyond me how they can affors all of these free games and exclusive but not a single capable developer to make this platform beyond just the bare minimum.

You have to go well outside the US to find reliable and neutral news. They don’t know about it or are in denial.

And we called it what?

It looks like it was written in plain html.

Not if they improve it. But I doubt they will.

Why are so many leaders in tech evil?

I remember when I was growing up, tech industry has so many people that were admirable, and you wanted to aspire to be in life. Bill Gates, founders of Google Larry Page, Sergey brin, Steve Jobs (wasn’t perfect but on a surface level, he was still at least a pretty decent guy), basically everyone involved in gaming from Xbox...

The workers also just care for profits. Nobody is working for free. Everyone needs to pay their bills. Companies will stop making profits when workers dispense with their wages, but I bet that’s not gonna happen.

doodledup ,

Wages are also subject to change based on performance or company profits.

But what I mean is that the company and the worker have the same interests in some way. Everyone wants to make money to pay the bills. Companies are no charities and your work isn’t either. If you dislike your relationship with the company, you can just resign that relationship any time. But one thing will never change: the worker will only do the work required from him and the company will only pay the wage required from them. There is nothing evil about that. It’s human nature for the past 20.000 years.

It’s more about the psychological damage than anything else.

Why is this here?

I’d be willing to pay for their service if it didn’t entail creating an account and letting me get tracked even further.

I don’t know what the solution is, but ads isn’t, a Google account isn’t, but piracy isn’t either.

You die if your website is not indexed by the largest search engine.

A lot of people (especially on Reddit and Lemmy too) don’t understand even the basics of economics. They see “luxury” and immediately make their judgement. “The rich”, “up there”, and “elite” are probably the most used words in comments. Not everything is immediately a conspiracy. Most of it is just basic economics. Plain and simple.

Nobody needs marketing people.

I wish there was better public transport on the level of Oeffi. Google Maps is still way ahead in this regard unfortunately.

“Don’t be evil”, they say.

Google is long doing the same thing.

You can make new derivative work without being creative. Just look at all the YouTubers copying each other.

There is accessibility settings for everything. Why not for this?

It’s not wasted. It’s an investment.

doodledup ,

You’re completely oblivious to modern day society. It’s not difficult to understand that this idealized reality doesn’t exist. It’s basic economics.

doodledup ,

Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.
