It’s a conspiracy!

I’m not familiar with Lunduke. Could you elaborate?

This doesn’t seem surprising at all. Isn’t that what Google Play Services is for? If you don’t want it, custom ROMs are easily installed.

Lemmy is a free and open-source software for running self-hosted social news aggregation and discussion forums. These hosts, known as “instances”, communicate with each other using the ActivityPub protocol.

I see you settled on a design for the toaster. Love the mustache.

Oooohhhh that looks very nice. Although the battery is much smaller than the Glucosent.

LEDs and rechargeable batteries have changed everything. Mine lasts for many hours before it needs to be recharged. And it only takes a little bit to recharge it.

My Glucusent book light, I use it every night when I read before bed. It is the best book light I’ve ever had and I absolutely love it.

It’s kind of like imposter syndrome for taking a break. Are you really bored enough to enjoy relaxing? Have you really relaxed enough to get back to work?

I wish Telegram would just enable default E2EE. Oh well, time to switch to Signal!

I believe they were bought by someone and eventually implemented some questionable practices. I don’t remember the exact details, maybe someone else does.

Here’s a link to the chatbot. It’s pretty good at explaining things and has a lot of patience for the hopeless drivel conspiracy theories contain. I like how it doesn’t just refute them with specific evidence, but tears apart the very logic of the conspiracy theories.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Art Masters Jewelry is amazing. Just look at this masterpiece:

TIL there’s a term for this: Schrödinger’s joke

Go vote everyone!

It’s a twofold issue. One is that Telegram is operating an encrypted messaging platform that violates French law. That’s where I disagree with French law, messages should be allowed to be encrypted and the government shouldn’t be allowed to interfere with it.

The other issue is the public communications that take place on Telegram that are facilitating horrible stuff like CSAM, animal abuse, and terrorism. This is well documented and I’ve seen two articles about Telegram’s horrible uses just today (see my comment for the other): https://dubvee.org/post/1782604

Telegram could provide a large majority of the communications. There are public channels and groups that anyone can view, a Telegram account isn’t needed. Even Telegram calls itself a “social media app” so it’s disingenuous to describe all of its communications as private. The issue is that they choose not to cooperate with governments, which violates the law. This is where I have a problem with Telegram. They should help law enforcement if they have access to the messages.

I say all this as an avid Telegram user. I really wish they would just encrypt all communications and force people to seek things out instead of allowing the horrible stuff to be publicly broadcast. That’s what Signal does. The real question is, why doesn’t Telegram?

This is an unfair characterization of the issue. It’s more like the government asking to enter your home because they have evidence that you’ve been hosting known murderers for their “We love to murder people” social club. And when asked for permission to enter your response was, “these people have every right to talk about all the murders they’ve committed.”

This is the second story I read today about the terrible things people are using Telegram for. Here’s the second one and beware, it’s very disturbing. https://arstechnica.com/culture/2024/08/thanks-internet-its-now-shockingly-easy-to-become-an-international-monkey-torturer/
