Do you take photos and keep those around or you just don’t use cameras? If you do preserve photos, why? Before cameras were invented, most people (who couldn’t paint or pay a painter) had experiences and events only in their memories. You c

It won’t be baffling but appalling to see how the Signal team (moxie in particular) have responded to requests for a backup and restore feature. They’re user hostile and prefer to do things their way. On iOS, Signal has always prohibited it

You can hide your phone numbers from other Telegram users and still chat with them (this is the default). On Signal, anyone you chat with will have your phone number.

I consume one light black coffee late in the morning. It’s about one teaspoon of Nescafé Gold instant coffee in about half a liter of hot water (yeah, I like that it’s instant and am not hooked on to gourmet coffee or having the best coffee

After all that, why would you spend $5/month/user on Fastmail when there are even cheaper and good options? Fastmail sticks out like a sore thumb in this solution. Mailbox.org and many others provide good email and web solutions.

When I read the original blog post by Cellebrite, which is on archive.org [1], it left me scratching my head too. Signal is open source. They had access to the device to dump everything. Then they went through the source code to figure out

To me it seems like it could be a tongue twister initially or for some people all the time. Not a very accessible name since it’s also easy to misspell when heard (“furly”, “flurry”, etc.).

To anyone who’s been self hosting this for sometime — has it been stable, usable and relatively pain free through updates? The hosted plan for $90 a year is way too expensive for me. The reason I ask this question is to figure out if it’s w

Three hours is a very short duration, IMO. In my opinion, it should be at least a day (24 hours) or cover more than one’s average sleep duration so that any messages sent in haste can be removed once better senses prevail. Considering time

What I’m interested in, which may probably take years (or never happen well), is running Linux natively on these Macs after there’s no more macOS support from Apple. Typically Macs stop getting software support at around 7-9 years after fir

A tangential correction: it’s AWS Graviton (one “r”), not Gravitron (two “r”s). I used to misread it as Gravitron too initially.

I don't prefer this feature to remain for end users (those who are not mods). If someone wants to know the most recent post by a user, they can visit their profile and find it. I do not see value in making that easier, and for a reason

I got your (Office Space) reference, but I’m thinking that beating older keyboards, mice and monitors to death may be more appropriate in this instance. Those monsters facilitated the creation of the code. They should die with the code.

Yup. Syncing is cheaper, faster, easier to access and more in your control than iCloud is (or can hope to be).
