my favourite is Amazon’s:

• buy without prime (2$ shipping fees)
• buy with prime (free shipping)

exept you must pay amazon prime 10$ and it’s a monthly recuring subscription.

I’m fine with Rofi. I’ve used xfce4-appfinder also, it’s less minimal, not configurable (good graphical defaults, might be what you want).

I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

I use BTRFS for the same. Being able to check for and repair silent corruptions is a must (and this is without needing to read the whole drives, only the actual files). I’ve had a lot of them over the years, including (but not only) because of a cheap USB controller also.

the Android VLC is absolutely different from the desktop version.

This statement was later retracted. The Engadget article was redacted accordingly.

Unfortunately we are at a point where Cisco Cloudflare and Google are held liable for filesharing-related domains their DNS relays are resolving IPs for…

No, every service provider must remove infringing content when reported. That is not the case on Telegram.

No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).

How come those big hosters get away with such infringements? I guess they must be less popular than Megaupload and such

i2Psnark is an alternative. With a lot less features (and not mentioning the UX)

Unfortunately, google maps is much more than a map. Shops with ratings and business hours, traffic, public transports, sattelite and street views are typically missing from these alternatives (fair rating is likely impossible).

I like Organic Maps though in case if network issues. Hopes Kartaview succeeds too.

All your session cookies are stored in plaintext.

63.3K commits from 1K+ contributors and still pre-alpha, it’s amazing what a nightmare web browsers have become!

I use Signal, but I’m unable to force everybody to do the same.

Re-implementation means reverse-engineering and building new binaries. What’s the point of MicroG if it is just downloading google binaries? An app with privileged access is different than a remote access trojan. The whole point of a sandbox is not to have the same access as the original app.

What you are saying doesn’t make any sense.

Any chance to use Whatsapp on /e/ ?

Yeah that’s unbelievable, I had the same experience! You must never install your bank app, otherwise it will start always requiring it.

It seems to me that there will be much less relays than there are AP nodes. Users won’t publish/subscribe to hundred of relays (if they did, relays would not scale). Hence more bad content to less moderators, and poor moderation.

Adding client filters would just shift the censorship power to those maintaining them.
