GigglyBobble,

some right wing nut job is projecting what the republicans are currently right now trying to do (and have been trying to do since Trump lost) onto the democrats

It's bizarre. The donkey's hair even resembles Trump's.

GigglyBobble,

BwMessenger was launched in 2020 and Android Playstore shows 50k downloads. That doesn't seem like mass-adoption. I don't see anything replacing WhatsApp in Germany, unfortunately.

GigglyBobble,

Calendar app devs will love the migration project.

GigglyBobble,

Why doesn't the screenshot show the prompt but only its title? Unnecessarirly suspicious since it wouldn't even be hard to fake it.

GigglyBobble,

Not only carbs but tons of sugar. Zero fiber. Zero healthy but lots of trans fats. It's pretty much poison.

GigglyBobble,

Both are so stupid and I still chuckle every time I see those.

GigglyBobble,

I'm sure that's not an outer wall and they added the blue glass to emulate daylight.

GigglyBobble,

Java seems to be the culprit then.

GigglyBobble,

Applicable and economic solutions are needed now though. The tech isn't there and yet the moron of a Minister tries to force it, no matter the cost.

Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal (tuta.com)

The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

GigglyBobble,

Damn right he will! Wait, who again?

Smartphone Keyboard Information Bonanza: What's available and what's best for your needs

Howdy. I wanted a central place for information surrounding smartphone keyboards since there have been some changes recently to a few of them. I hope to keep this post afloat over the long term so we can share experiences, information, news, etc to find the perfect smartphone keyboard for ourselves and help others do the same....

GigglyBobble, (edited )

Unfortunately, it's an abandoned project that hasn't gotten updates for 2 years.

There's an active fork but no release yet, you can only install by building it yourself: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

GigglyBobble,

You're right, scratch that.

I've just never downloaded apks directly from Github and probably shouldn't recommend it for the reasons OP gave wrt keyboard apps.

I got confused by that issue about naming conflicts with the original OpenBoard. If you have installed that one, you need make your own debug build to run them in parallel.

GigglyBobble,

Also, most countries don't honor their politicians as god-kings. Maybe US hillbillies will (try to) build a pyramid when Trump finally dies.

GigglyBobble,

Thanks. That's some advanced internet shit.

GigglyBobble,

What a stupid thing to say.

Whatever your favorite (and probably shitty) proprietary or open source messaging service - not everybody uses it. But hey, everyone has email, so let's kill that.

BTW since you said encryption is important to you: your walled-garden messaging service has a much easier time profiling you and your friends than they would in a heterogenous environment like email. They don't need the content anyway, just metadata.

GigglyBobble,

No, they can't since I don't have a Google mail address. Even if I had, they'd have a harder time building a social graph when I communicate with others outside of Gmail.

GigglyBobble,

That's the superior approach and Firefox introduced it far earlier than Google addressed the problem.

Why OP is blindly arguing in that corp's favor and ignoring all the reasoning provided here, is beyond me. Shilling?

GigglyBobble,

I had no idea how to properly set up the filesystem, so I mounted them to /mnt/f and /mnt/h. It caused me many hours of headache later.

Can you elaborate? What kind of headaches? How would you set it up now? While I've been using Linux quite a while I don't have multiple hard drives and am always interested in best practices.

GigglyBobble,

make sure you don’t do the XY problem.

Thanks for the link. That's funny because translating Y to X is basically the core task when developing client-specific solutions.

GigglyBobble,

I don't think it'll be as easy as calculating SHA256 hashes, so ASICs as small as this might never be a thing.

On the other hand, brains do use orders of magnitude less power, so who knows.

GigglyBobble,

Proprietary messaging is worse though. Email is interoperable and relevant as ever. Just nobody bothered to seamlessly apply PGP for encryption (probably spy agencies actively worked against that too).

GigglyBobble,

TIL IT is volunteer work.

GigglyBobble,

I happily shelled out $600 for the first iPhone. But $3,500? For a V1 product that will get way better (and cheaper) in the next few years?

Cheaper? When has the next gen Apple product ever become cheaper?

GigglyBobble,

Interesting. I see it the other way around and believe it's only AR that'll be a real benefit (once it lasts indefinitely and is tiny or even implanted some time in the future). Pulling out your phone to navigate somewhere is cumbersome, for example.

GigglyBobble,

According to the article, WhatsApp requires the Signal Protocol for message encryption.

Signal is the single third party that shouldn't have a problem with that since it's been using that protocol before WhatsApp adopted it, too (they hired Moxi himself to help them do it, remember?)
