Xmpp servers can be configured to log history. I don't know if Matrix always logs history, but I've read that it keeps a lot of metadata.

Thanks for enumerating the counter points. I'm immediately turned off by his vocal style, but I can look past that long enough to evaluate the content.

I have two big issues with it:

• His assertions lack references to supporting evidence
• his political allegiance gives me pause

I will check out his content more before I write him off.

It appears the android client he used is Cheogram, which I use. It is forked from Conversations, and is excellent. JMP.CHAT maintains it, and pretty much supports all of the xmpp standards. Including gateways to phone PBX, SMS, and Matrix.

They and sopranica offer fully compliant servers, including self hosting.

I saw that as I continued reading other comments.

I generally stick with Firefox, but I do have chromite ony degoogled secondary phone as a backup in case something only works with chromium renderer.

A fellow old-schooler, I see! Me too!

Depends on if someone uploaded the data for the target area, and the lookup is not intuitive for North Americans.

OsmAnd is a favorite of mine. If you live in one of the covered areas (North America for sure) OpenSuperMaps merges a US style address search and most street addresses into the maps.

OsmAnd search goes by town, street, number while these maps work with "25 oak street Chicago Illinois". Also, the open street maps rely on croud sharing for map details, so many areas have very little detail, while others put Google Maps to shame.

For navigation, I like Magic Earth. It includes similar search ability and has Waze-like features. The only problem is a lack of critical mass of users to get good traffic and hazard warnings. You can be one more user to supply such info.

I was not saying 25 for a dev job, i was saying that for other kinds of work i might be able to get without getting a new degree.

I understand how it works. The fact remains that companies already laid off people because of AI, and until now, I have never been unemployed more than 2 months.

I've also never seen a market in which most job posting garner 200 to 500 applications within 24 hours. It is armageddon out here.

Wow. You mean people might gave to read actual books for entertainment?

If by some miracle the legal establishment takes this schmuck seriously, it is the end of the entertainment industry.

Oh, i dunno... my chromecast for tv is holding up okay, and i don't get advertisements in it's main ui.

My 2013 LG lcd is doing okay although i brole a bunch of the dots. I will have to replace it soon, and there aren't any non smart units available. I guess i'll gave to block the traffic.

I've been unemployed for 7 months. Every online job I see that's been posted for at least 6 hours has over 200 applications. I'm a senior Dev with 30 years experience, and I can't find work.

I'd say generative AI is an existential threat as bad as offshoring was for steel in the early 80s. I'm now left with the prospect of spending the last 20 years of my work life at or near minimum wage.

After all, I can't afford to spend $250,000 on a new bachelor's degree, and a community college degree might get me to $25/hr, and still costs thousands. This is causing impoverishment on a massive scale.

Ignore this threat at your peril.

Remember that to stay in business, they must sell something. Since they are selling something designed to last a very long time, they need to expand their customers and sell other products, or both.

Some consumers want to get new product regularly. There is reason to stop them. As long as they continue to make their products to last, the rest of us get what we want, and the company is more profitable, sounds like a win-win.

This appears to be an effort to convince people to try their products - good for them! My answer to your last question is yes. Capitalism is not bad - amoral or unregulated capitalism is bad.

Glad to see it. Is anybody else having trouble with the space bar writing "v" or "c" instead if space? It seems I have to be focused on hitting the bar near the bottom for it to work.

True, but I was thinking of something with a GUI that helps one delete duplicates selectively.

You are welcome! You're making me blush.

However you use heat energy to generate other energy, it will not solve the problem of heat being increased in cities. Heat is an end State energy form.

This is why you may have heard the phrase the heat death of the universe. Entropy can be thought of as all energy being converted to heat, evenly distributed in the universe. The best you can do is move the heat elsewhere.

Heat death of the Universe happens when the heat is evenly distributed and there's no way to move it to produce other forms of energy, like electricity.

Theoretically, heat can be turned into matter per Einstein, but we haven't figured that out yet.

Another problem is extensions like expressvpn and keypass won't work, probably due to the sandboxing.

If you'd find one I'd be interested in hearing what it is. As an alternative, you might be able to use a Linux app while connected through MTP.

Lying about voting locations and dates aren't subverting the constitution? Really? So we only have the constitutional right to vote if we can figure out the real times and locations on our own, and giving false information that causes people to be unable to Vote is all just lulz?
