Not quite sure about the On by default aspect; on my non-Google phone running stock android, it keeps asking me to enable RCS.

I keep clicking no because there's a lot of ads pushed through RCS. This is annoying on top of the usual telemarketing stuff you might get due to phone numbers being sold.

Any particular resources that you trust to share proper information?

To get governments interested in it… for tracking it’s own netizens… because just about everyone is dealing with CSAM!

TL;DR of the article - Arcane > Cyberpunk Edgerunners > Castlevania > Sonic Boom > The Last of Us > The Witcher.

They did figure out having 1 service for watching a huge library of movies/TV with a Netflix. But they have started imploding because of corporate greed, which is bringing back piracy by the masses.

Other people have given you recommendations, I want to give you my commendation on the first time I have heard someone describe easy to play games in this manner.

I reckon you would have aced my school’s internal exams back in the day where they were more concerned with the size of the content.

I think card view in a native app mainly works well for communities with high image/video content, other communities are okay either way.

When I used to use Reddit on my desktop’s browser the styling would typically be list view, because that was something which I was used to.

I didn’t notice the 3 years part till I read in your comment.

Are there any privacy respecting CDN services though?

I won’t comment on what Session is/was doing with Cloudflare services, but say if I am using DoT on my device for encrypted DNS requests, and the traffic is also E2E encrypted, how much can such a provider really see ?

Tools that we have at my job won’t be effective if they receive an encrypted payload.

Could you elaborate on your point of them using Cloudflare ?

My understanding is that their websites would be behind Cloudflare for their CDN and anti-DDoS services, maybe WAF as well. Solely looking at CDN services essentially the options come down to Cloudflare or Akamai who have a global domination of the market.

I like the phrase “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

KOSA is not the only thing one should be worried about, illiterates from UK are bringing in an Online Safety Bill which needs all services with encryption to provide a backdoor for the UK government under the reasoning of “monitoring for CSAM content”.

This doesn’t just impact UK citizens, but will do for the world.

If I recall correctly, Australia did something similar.

Interesting to see how the 5-eyes try to push similar dumb ideas together.

I just use DDG, and I was told in a different post that it fetches results through Bing.

Much like what you said, Google is better than other engines with regional results being a non-US person.

This adds up really nicely with the newest video of Razbuten “How Games Make Villains Sound Evil”

I see, but how is this different in a phone app? Wouldn’t the request still be made to a backend?

Uhh… not clear on what you’re claiming here… you can validate the traffic is going to the expected instance using a web app, without requiring any special software by running Developer tools and heading to the network tab.

TTY seesion is definitely not a desktop experience, the pizzaz is lacking which makes it difficult to use for all purposes. I’ve used it mainly for specialized work on servers.

You could just switch your Desktop Environment/Windown Manager with a TTY session to Ctrl+Alt+F2 (F3, …, F7) and not install any Xorg/Wayland DE on these sessions.

More drastic measures would be to install a Server version, or remove the DE/WM from the install.

Unless the book is being bought directly from the writer, isn’t it really the publisher who is gaining the rewards? My understanding is that the writer is paid a lumpsum for rights of a book by a publisher.

If the entire motto is “benefit of others”, the writer themselves can publish it for the public to read openly, or make it a collaborative project where their and other people’s contributions are added together.

It’s not black and white, both sides of a piracy debate (much like anything else) have their arguments, and could have had reached a better medium.

Probably because of MS’s stranglehold on so many customers with their O365 and standalone Office suite ?

Over here we consider Broadcom is where things go to die a slow death. There should be some form of rule if a company is not actively working on their products / retiring them then they need to make it freely accessible to the public.

Probably as a result of this: https://youtu.be/B5d_MPw1nQs ?

Regarding the undemocratic part, let’s not forget it was a part of the Axis. Ideologies of leadership don’t change so easily…
