If mass murder at this scale does not horrify and offend you, then you have failed as a human being. That is what destroys things.

As long as investors are willing to pay for it.

Because I live in a very authoritarian government. That is how I know.

The weakest link is not the server. The weakest link is the user device. There is no security without anonymity.

If the mass murder committed by Israel against the Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian people does not horrify you, then you don't have shred of humanity left in you.

Arguing about pedantic details does not change that.

E2EE is nice to have, but not the magic cure Signal advertises it is. The #1 most authoritarian governments access chats is by forcing people to unlock their phone. At which point Signal's obsession with phone numbers becomes a huge liability. You can't claim security while tying a phone number to each and every account.

What is wrong with helping Palestine? Are we to look the other way as the genocidal religious zealots in Tel Aviv commit mass murder?

The bigger news here is that China is rapidly winding down its holdings of US debt. This is very bad for America. We'll see American standards of living decline without the Chinese financing American extravagance.

Yes.

Is Europe or the US engaged in slave trade right now? Israel is committing mass murder right now. There is a difference between past evils that can't be helped and present evils that we have the power to stop.

Rwandan genocide was almost 30 years ago. There is nothing I can do to help there.

Israel is comitting a genocide and attacking/murdering everyone right now.

That is the crucial difference.

I can'e even imagine browsing the web without ublock origin. How and Why Apple users endured it, I fail to comprehend.

People thought this nutjob lunatic would save Intel? Hah, this guy is part of the reason why Intel failed in the first place.

The real gamechanger (pun intended!) was Vulkan. DXVK is very performant.

In my experience, the only Windows games that don't run on Linux are those with malware-esque anti-cheat that explicitly block Linux. Almost all games I tried worked out of the box.

I can't verify this anywhere. The latest information appears to be that Nikolai Durov lives in Dubai.

Why? AWS is neither cheap, nor reliable (as we saw last week).

Anyone who thinks that vendor lock-in is a security feature didn't learn a thing from the Crowdstrike incident last year. The biggest security incident in the history of the entire internet was caused by a cybersecurity ''vendor''.

Telegram's founders are in exile from Russia after the Russian government took over their previous venture (Vkontakte). It is misinformation to associate Telegram with the Russian government.

not AWS apparently

You have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide. Right?

This is yet another red flag from Signal.

Telegram was not disrupted during the AWS crash, so they probably were not using it (or had a decent fail-over mechanism to a backup system). Telegram's user-base is two orders of magnitude larger than Signal, so 'we use AWS because we have to' argument clearly is bogus and nonsense.

Trusted computing is just another name for vendor lock-in. It was never about security.

Answer: companies realized that they can milk you for more money by restricting your options and alternatives.

Good. The Western world needs to get over its China-fetish.

Strix Halo from AMD appears to be a much more consumer-friendly alternative than DGX Spark.

It was never fun to travel to the US, and the border agents have always been rude, unprofessional and arbitrary. But it seems like it has gotten much worse, and there is no way I'm traveling to the US these days.

Republicans were always the party of big government.

Found the religious lunatic. Do you seriously believe this nonsense?
