If “rooted” is a requirement, then this won't work.

1. All of my banking apps work, I have 6 of them.
2. You can buy an older Pixel, 5 or 6. They're still great.

Can they develop a paint that reduces the amount of cars? That would be more helpful.

I feel like the difference is not that big, though.

If you rent, your landlord has a right to enter your apartment, even though they rarely use that right. Sometimes, they can check on things. The same applies to apartments in personal ownership: if police has a warrant, they can enter and see if there's illegal activity. So based on this analogy, no, apartments are not “encrypted” chat rooms, and I don't think any significant number of places would be considered “encrypted” or “fully private”, if you must.

Continuing with the analogy, Telegram can view and intervene in the activity on the platform, just like landlords or police, but Durov, let's call him a landlord, protects privacy of his tenants, not letting the law enforcement in.

Speaking of E2EE platforms, I'm sure there's crime happening on them, because it's logical for criminals to use more secure protocols, yet I don't see the same arguments made about them. It's just they are providing the same (better!) tools to the criminals without an option for law enforcement to see the content (but perhaps with options to ban on request).

And frankly I don't think there's too big of a difference between E2EE and non-E2EE platforms in terms of conscience: the former just deliberately deprive themselves of an opportunity to see what content goes through their services.

P.S. that said, I don't think it's ok that Telegram promotes the service as private, and that Durov ignored requests to nuke known illegal activity.

Does that mean if you provide an E2EE service, you are a criminal too, because you let people to commit crimes on your platform, you're just unable to see them? It's like having a mall with no surveillance or security.

And as someone who walks and bikes, I fucking hate that.

That sucks.

I deleted all my comments/posts on reddit a couple of years ago via a UI automation script, and they are still deleted, luckily.

Slightly off-topic, but when I stopped playing multiplayer games with anti-cheats (competitive FPS mostly), I've got more time to explore more productive hobbies, and my mental health improved. Might be worth trying 🙂

Looks like a wankpanzer to me.

“Each charge comes with an automatic roadside licence suspension of 30 days and a 14-day vehicle impound.”

The penalties are too lenient.

Flameshot was great. One day it just stopped working on my Ubuntu (Gnome). Now I use the default tool that comes with KDE, and it's nearly perfect.

I guess they should've been more transparent about it.

This is one of the publications from 2022 where they mentioned working on privacy-preserving advertising: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/privacy-preserving-attribution-for-advertising/

Maybe it wasn't as popular in the media because there's nothing exciting about it for the public.

Adding capacity. Fossil fuel usage is still growing.

Mozilla has been working on anonymized advertising for quite some time now, there were news and job postings.

We're not spending too much on weapons? Good.

It's right there in the article. Local keychain.

Disappointed to learn that Nvidia drivers are still having such serious issues.

What argument? I'm just saying that it works for me and many others.

Most commutes aren't 40 miles even for suburbanites. Some people get worked up for suggesting that biking is viable for a lot of us for no reason, talking about edge cases, that often could be covered by public transport.

Could you elaborate on the ethical part, please?
