I have not read the news in a really long time just cause paywalls are annoying as frick.

I fucking hate them so much honestly. They can’t even keep my data safe and they are overcharging me so much lmao.

I mean for them to explain why they think signal sucks

Signal is just a messaging app, and worst of all to a ton of people you have to share your phone number, something that is kinda intimate and you might only share it among the closer people in your friend group, even when signal launches usernames unless it builds something around signal it’s just another annoying messaging app to keep track of.

as a gen zer myself I would follow it up with WHY? give me a reason WHY. I don’t really see a difference between instagram groups and signal groups. I think what it is for most people is some lame app they will download for only that specific purpose. The only reason why iMessage is popular is it’s the default. If the EU passed a regulation to force Apple to have a default messager that only supported SMS, and iMessage to be a separate appstore app, or even just an extension for the messages app. it would die within a year. Meta groups are only popular cause they are tired to 2 of the biggest social platform being facebook and instagram.

I love how covid is growing and we are still with this back to the office bullshit.

Not to mention none of this will actually protect children. When I was 14 I told an adult online about my life and they helped me make it through some rougher periods until I got to 18. I know the internet is highly imperfect but I think gate keeping kids out of it will just lead to more underground abuse and abuse that they don’t find was abuse until they are adults.

I love how this “sticking it to big tech” is also funded by big tech. The general goal of someone like Facebook with this legislation is pass a bunch of rules that only large companies like them can comply with, and watch mastodon instances and other attempts to detrown them end in FBI raids and more regulations.

Okay so I think we got mixed up, the app I’m talking about doesn’t seem to be on play yet. I think its only on fdroid and github. Its a client for misskey

Damn this would be great for mastodon too! Imagine a plugin that auto flagged images locally, and gave you a heads up. Kinda like what tech companies have but wont freak out if it finds “extremist” content.

Whenever the feds say “protect the children” I know they are lying. This bill is dangerous and a danger to multiple communities. If it passes ID checks will become a thing, and guess what. ID checks will likely use Web Environment Integrity to verify if your OS is “secure” before allowing you to scan your ID. This bill is a fuck you to adults, Linux users, and queer people!

Yeah just kinda sucks all Foss operating systems feel like they are stuck in 2011 in some cases.

I don’t trust these numbers, I really don’t trust any article that talks about my generation.

Flying cars are danger to everyone, cars and driving suck enough! Please don’t let this happen in our skies. What if someone wrecked one into my house and killed me.

As far as I’m aware find my on iPhone can work even when the phone is off, this is because the phone kinda acts like an airtags where enough information can be exchanged securely.

I don’t see any visible lag on 6a. Just some progress animation until images are loaded. Am I missing something?

are you on graphine?

Detecting people of color have been issues for a really long time, even dating back to Microsoft Xbox Connect. This is a long standing issues and I’m not saying we can’t fix it but I think it shows how bad self driving cars are. I don’t trust companies to not cut corners on safety. I really honestly want public transit but I know I’ll get downvoted to tell. Thankfully my instance doesn’t support that.

Yeah, sorry for the mispelling…

Where would I change that?

Kaiteka is one
