Sounds like thought crime to me.

Got 3 of these messages already. My client doesn’t delete them. So they are stacking up.

So the userbase is worth $12bn.

From now on; whenever they can’t find incriminating messages elsewhere, they will come to you. You suspicious, secret, something to hide-guy.

Everyone deserves private communication.

One of the things skype did first and best was decent noise filtering, transforming peoples shit audio equipment to something you could listen to for more than 5 minutes without going crazy.

You use your own software and read bug reports.

If people can have the right to private communication, and that privilege being extended to criminals as well, surely that is worth it.

Police can do old fassioned police work. Every job doesn’t need to be behind a desk, issuing database queries.

Assumption is that they ask apple to remove it for swedish apple accounts. Apple does that for goverments all the time.

When i see a monitor having network hardware built in, on the spec sheet, i get very suspicious.

Syncthing has been discontinued for android. Or so I heard.

The world would be a better place if locked bootloaders were not a thing. I agree that there needs to be laws in place to prevent the sale of these devices.

That is not entirely accurate. Those laws will be selectively enforced against you in particular, cause they don’t like you. This is a very common tactic in less civilized places. Have rules that no one is following and you have something to hold against your citizens when it suits you. So it does indeed matter.

Yea, troubleshooting is not that fun. That is why I would just abandon a piece of software that gives me trouble. As long as there is an alternative.

It is not recommended to paste things blindly. I would double check every command that is suggested. Chatgpt is good at it, in the sense that it usually gives something that looks alright and works. Sometimes it doesn’t even make sense. But instead of composing the commandline from scratch, I take what it gave me and look up what each switch does. It saves time and I am bad at figuring out how some commands are formated, based on the man file.

Yea chatgpt is great at this. Yea, installing stuff can be confusing some times. Happens more rarely in windows. Pick the method that is easiest for you. If it does not work right away, use an alternative software. The more popular, the better support and ease of use. Hopefuly Valves efforts in linux gaming and microsofts crackdown on privacy, pushes more people towards linux. Only the future will tell where this is going. I remain optimistic.

How do we get more mass surveillance? I know! Lets make up a reason why we should implement it. Children!

Are all browsers configured to use the same dns servers, all on dot\doh? Have you verified they are consistently not blocking those servers? Are they all configured to not revert to default servers on failed attempts? Perhaps there is longer lasting dns caches in some of your software. What about proxy settings?

I’m just throwing stuff on the wall here.

Older, out of support, nvidia drivers tend to break from time to time.

I think that is a setting in freetube. Also some browser extensions can do that.

If this is just a rebranding; why does there need to be beta test?

Privacy, I wager.
