Do I remember correctly that trump was elected mainly on improving economy?

That, I guess, it’s the whole point. Stopping being tracked 🙂

The chat space is problematic.

• There are a lot of apps that don’t encrypt at all (e.g. Google chat, discord, etc)
• There are apps that encrypt but they are subject to jurisdictions that can or may in the future force backdoors (e.g., Chinese apps, possibly telegram, possibly US apps in the future)
• There are apps that encrypt, are in countries that are privacy focused but are not for free (e.g., threema)

This contributes to a fragmentation that makes WhatsApp the app that-you-must-have

Sure it is supposedly encrypted but I would not bet my money that is without back doors

Not walking can lead to heart issues. You really should stop using this car

I hate that nowadays AI == LLM/chatbot.

I love the AI classifiers that keep me safe from spam or that help me categorise pictures. I love the AI based translators that allow me to write in virtually any language almost like a real speaker.

What I hate is these super advanced stocastic parrots that manage to pass the Turing test and, so, people assume they think.

I am pretty sure that they asked specifically about LLM/chatbots the percentage of people not caring would be even higher

Hahaha No.

Kinda, yeah. Gaming workstation + Network card (and optics) from fs.com + Nixos.

This setup has the benefit that my workstation has also all possible bandwidth. Services run in nixos containers (that are awesome!) for isolation from the routing.

I do 🙂

Written in Switzerland from my 25GBps symmetric connection (for like 60$/month) that I have for a couple of years 🤷‍♂️

Also for personal use the difference between 1Gbps and 25 (or, I guess, 100GBps) is essentially zero… your everyday connection is via WiFi (good luck to get more than 1GBps there) or on a home server/NAS/workstation where likely you run batch jobs where the difference between 1 minute or 5 minutes is not a huge deal (and yes I am not saying 1 vs 25 because at that speed generally the bottleneck is the place where you are getting data from)

All DEI fault for this failure

/s (if it wasn’t obvious 🙂)

No… and what is your point?

And this is exactly the reason I am here 😃

Otherwise you don’t get all operators being able to read your messages, all the vulnerabilities of SS7 (so not only your operator, any random dude with experience can read your messages)

So many advantages!

But it is compatible with iChat that it is what really matters, really 😂

The App Store was there since the first gen. Steve jobs announce already included it and there were dummy apps like pretending to drink a beer from the iPhone. With the iPhone 3G they changed the SDK in a way that either you released apps for the first two gen or for the newer generations that made the fist two generations almost useless (planned obsolescence you said?)

Then they need to find advertisers. This is the hard part. Advertisers are familiar with the platform and tools of YouTube, having them to submit ads in other platforms is where the for-profit video hosting becomes tricky

Every action involves a reaction.

You cut taxes? What will be lost? This is not an exception.

Half million people that have literally nothing to lose (even a prison may be a safer place for them) is quite an army. Desperate people are famous for doing desperate things.

This will not end up well and not only for the homeless

As long he doesn’t win he can run as much as he wants

If flavors don’t incentive addition, why do you think manufacturers are pushing back? Why there is a black market?

Why not?

Your comment sounds whatsboutism but I buy it! Let’s ban flavoured alcohol too.

Prohibitionism doesn’t work because a black market emerges but as long the limitations are small enough to not have a significant black market, it is fine. Blocking flavour in vapes/alchool hardly will create a new Al Capone
