OK, so it sounds like anger should he directed at Microsoft here, not the dude that forked it

Cargo ships can lose anywhere from a single container to hundreds at a time in rough seas

D:

Much of the debris that washed up on Lewis’ beach matched items lost off the giant cargo ship ONE Apus in November 2020. When the ship hit heavy swells on a voyage from China to California, nearly 2,000 containers slid into the Pacific

Court documents and industry reports show the vessel was carrying...hazardous goods: batteries, ethanol and 54 containers of fireworks.

These aren't tech companies, and they try to keep costs as low as possible

Wtf does this phrase "Jewish space lasers" mean? Did you mean to say "Israeli Space Lasers"?

Israel may have laser systems (iron dome) and they may have satellites in space, but I don't know about them combined. And, most importantly, Israel is not "Jews". Conflating the Zionist project with Judaism is antisemitic.

It doesn't exist. The devs said they won't make clients sync by design. And that means I will never use SimpleX because its a required feature for me (and most other people).

I don't think you need AI for this problem

How do you turn that off? Its so fucking frustrating when I'm really digging what I'm listening to, so crank up the volume -- only to have it skip to the next track!!

Ive searched the app settings and can't find how to disable this. Its maddening!

You could also add telemetry. If >50% of your users all skip in the same spot, its an ad break

This doesn't affect non-profit companies, who legally cannot have anyone who takes profits away from the company.

For profit companies should be illegal

I mean, usually when I download podcasts there's just 5 or so ads that get injected over-and-over. I don't think it would be too complicated to have some software recognizes the length of an ad, and that it occurs >2x in a file, and then just mark that section as "ad" and auto skip over it

Wut

Lol OK. Every US company has to legally provide their private keys (or a subordinate CA) to the US government if asked, due to NSL laws. We have examples of the US doing this historically, only because some companies broke the law and spoke out publicly.

So go ahead and remove all CAs issued from US companies. Verisign, cloudflare, akamai, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.

Now 80% of the Internet is broke.

DigiCert isn't the only one. There's a bunch of others. Just google "Mozilla CA removed" or "google CA removed"

Here's a couple more examples, but this sort of thing happens all the time, because X.509 is just a terrible design that breaks https

The damages causes to the developers are equal to the profits made by the company that took their code and made improvements to it, without sharing it upstream as legally required

In this age where PIs have been replaced with Facebook scrapers and lawyers have been replaced with ChatGPT, it can more easily be hidden -- especially if you use tools like Tor.

IVPN, AirVPN, cryptostorm

So does Wire. The reason Wire is better than Signal and Telegram is privacy.

The reason Wire is better than SimpleX is usability. Namely, it has clients on all platforms, and the messages sync between all those devices.

There is such a thing as credibility. You can extend trust to others that have credibility. For example, security audits from companies that are credible. Or, you use an app because a trustworthy techie friend of yours says they're safe.

But a prerequisite in all these cases is going to be FOSS code and client side encrypt.

Are you mad? The phone number tells you what phone company to call. In most countries, that tells them your name and government ID.

The phone number is the thing that tells them everything about you.

In some countries, if they find you on the streets they'll grab your ass and throw it into an apartment. And put a fat wad of cash in your hand! The nerve of some countries, man..
