If Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you’d only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can’t have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.

Yea, I couldn’t tell you the specifics. I know new members of group chats don’t see any previous messages. I think it might re-negotiate the keys every time someone is added. It’s probably not meant to scale up to very large groups (tho I’ve never tried), but I’ve noticed no issues in 25ish people chats.

It works about the same as any other app’s group invite link. It can be set to automatically add the person or be treated as a request to join that needs approval.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Signal does have location sharing and invite links, FWIW.

What polish and features is signal missing?

Fair enough. Happy May Day.

I did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I’ve since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don’t occasionally do the same. Maybe I’m asking you to better understand myself.

Honestly I looked at your comments and they’re all just aggressive, and I was genuinely wondering why. You’re not trying to share info, and you’re not trying to convince anyone of anything. What’s the point? Is this helpful to you? It just seems like you’re upsetting yourself.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back partially. You are sharing links. On my mobile app I only saw your comments, not your posts.

I am home, and saying literally anything besides an insult isn’t “debate”. Are you just afraid of actual discussion? Why are you saying anything at all?

Thoughtful contribution that really explained your position while repudiating theirs. I can tell you’ve thought deeply about your position.

This article is also only applicable to EU, where (as your link mentions) alternative browsers don’t need to be WebKit. Chrome and Firefox are already working on switching.

You need to meet more young people they don’t know either specifically because companies like google and apple try to obscure competition by making their way seem like the only way.

Amateur advice. Don’t own your own device. ask your friends to look up things for you on their devices, then print them out and mail them to your PO Box. Untraceable.

I don’t agree that Wikipedia used to be the only place. There were plenty of competing encyclopedias, it was simply the best long-term.

That’s a good comparison I hadn’t honestly thought of! Thanks

Anyone using a work or school Chromebook is, actually.

It had a leak a few years back. Not a huge one, but it’d add up on devices that had a ton of tabs or were always on.

Discord has real advantages over many of those, and communities are slow to pick up and move. It’ll take either a very bad decision from discord or a good competitor. I want that competitor to be Matrix, but it’s far from perfect.

I’m glad I skipped release day. Definitely waiting to buy it on sale after it’s been fixed with updates and DLC. Sucks to see companies treat buyers like testers.

I like how gaps make things feel a little less cluttered, and show off the colors of my wallpaper. Same reason I use i3 with gaps on. It feels like everything is nicely organized instead of shoved together. In the end it’s just an aesthetic preference.
