Eh, I have a constitutional right to not be up to date with the latest browser drama. It’s just drama.

Plus, 6.6.6. The pun and connection was just too good to let pass. Relax. Get a grip. Get a life.

6.6.6

Triple six. The evil fork of Firefox (ad-provider owned, etc).

Yeah, it’s a data point it’d be useful not to have to count on. But, then again, it’s only the one. And it mostly serves as a data point only, not as an entry point. It’s not possible to (normally) access anywhjere near all that data — in particular, the chats — primarily via the phone number, so in as much as it’s about privacy, privacy is preserved (note however: not increased). Signal’s intended use is for privacy, not anonymity.

And even if it won’t, there’s still the benefit of some variety in communities so that people can choose.

Eh, it’s not like they are going to somehow get better at it without practice…

“Major contradiction” how? It’s simply admitting a limitation in their reality and working around it. It’s pretty reduced from what it used to be, that would be that the phone number would be known to all chat participants. Do consider that it took some guy spending years in jail to learn enough of the telecom system that he might (not even “will”, but “might”) be able to spin up his own mobilecom that only requires a ZIP code to sign up.

Signal is not 100% perfect, they’re barely reaching 98% perfect, but. Fantastical (fanatical) absolutism in goals helps no one make step progress.

If MySQL is more robust than SQLite of all things, something is going seriously wrong.

Then again, it’s 2025. I no longer bet on what to expect from reality. Next someone points me to a mail indicating linux kernel will move its bookkeeping to MongoDB.

Doesn’t Forgejo support SQLite as a backend?

, and they’re stuck on Android 11

From a technological perspective, wouldn’t that be a win? Each Android version since then is worse (not to mention the changes to the Store). I wonder if, considering these are devices indestructible enough to last, potentially beyond industries, are they equipped with the provisions to upgrade or change the OS out-of-band. Imagine one of those thingies running LineageOS.

Now that’s interesting to know. I like 90’s-level-of-indestructibility devices.

That sounds pretty fine. It’s when the video includes you and goes to a remote system that is the problem.

You also should have, in a well-functioning society, no expectation of violation of personal rights (or even human rights) in public. Yet here we are.

Her “ass-kicking” would only be acceptable to the point where she could be detained and arrested

…And you think cops in this century of 21 would stop there… why?

unless it threatens your well being at that moment

Which in this case it’s doing. Next.

lemmy is dying

[citation needed]

Not really conductive as long as most funds are siphoned by the C-suite ranks. Get rid of the C-fat first, maybe even turn Mozilla into a co-op, then have the People fund it.

False dichotomy. Lemmy is already usable, and the decentralization is not that high that you can’t tell where to post. But if you were posting a more proper form of the question that is not trolling, maintaining a decent level of decentralization is higher priority, as it is one of the foundationally selling attributes of the Fediverse. You can add connecting tissues and UX improvements over that, but if you abandon that you are not too different from Mozilla, and become not too different from the anti-social networks this was born to serve as an alternative to.

No thanks. This is a dark pattern towards centralization. Just go back to reddit.

Time for a new iteration of the selfie stick!

It was self defense, and defense of others around her. In my book, that’s just about as much if not more than the police does these days.
