I don’t think he’s smart enough to stick the landing on anything. Based on the new biography, it sounds like he’s just mad at his daughter over “wokeism”.
I appreciate the kindness but no sweat. Not in a hurry but I know it’s a pain to move stuff around the world for a random person on Lemmy. Maybe I’ll get some of those beans when I’m feeling a bit more fancy :)
“Slap in the face” is a bit dramatic when this doesn’t impact the truly private version of this software, the version you host on a system you control.
I’m also not sure what end-to-end encryption has to do with this since preventing the sign up of an abusive user essentially addresses the issue. It’s probably not something they’d wanna do but I’d wager they were getting some subpoenas and/or warrants that they couldn’t provide much information for and LEOs were ratcheting up pressure. Unfortunately, the legal side of tech is more than “ha ha can’t do that, officer”.
Short answer is that a lot of privacy-focused tools get abused like hell and put these companies in an untenable position. It sounds like Jitsi had something fairly bad happening that would’ve put them in a regulatory pinch.
There was likely a broad campaign of abuse that violated some sorta law. There’s not really another reason for this move short of something that puts them in an untenable situation.
Sounds awesome! I'm sure there's a lot of cross-pollination with Vietnamese coffee but I'd love to try some Yunnan roast. My wife just brought back a bundle of beans from Vietnam and it was a real treat.
I think you’re mostly right but there’s a host of nuance and legalese that muddies this up. Social media is always in a conflicted relationship with speech, wanting to have no culpability over what’s posted while also making decisions over what to feature/restrict/etc. They’re actually really cautious to not position themselves as the “town square” for that reason since it does channel a sort of legal definition of such.
I promise I'm not trying to make fun of you but this sounds a bit like a suburban person's perception of the city rather than what the city is actually like. None of this is more common on a subway than anywhere else.
Yeah, because there's zero investment in transit. We literally don't have the resources to make a bunch of EV cars so we're gonna have to invest in transit one way or another.
Stupid idea that’s clearly motivated by the city’s deference to their tech gentry. Self driving anything has too many questions and issues still. I’m also not inclined to table “well what about the problems with people driving?” That only tells me we need transit, not robo taxis.

Honestly, this is kinda making me wanna redeploy a couple app stacks I have on a VPS. Hmm.
