Corruption is what it is. i recall there being news reports in the past about how Facebook didn’t do anything even when content was reported by users. Facebook likes the money coming from ads but is unwilling to care enough. It’s a sick com

It’s a bit disingenuous to say that Signal has nothing to share. Signal has access logs as well as metadata about the phone number, the name given on the app, group memberships, etc. With Signal, it’s also trivial to find out if someone i

How is the latency for such a setup? And how is the general browsing experience with said latency (I realize it also depends on which sites you frequently access)? I see some cloud providers/CDNs using a caching TTL as low as five minu

The number of people who can flee and are able and/or willing to do it must be a tiny percentage, no? Among those, many may also be privileged in certain ways to actually do it. I wonder how those who are left behind (or stay behind) m

Tangentially, apps like this are why I’d like to have sideloading on iOS. We need to be able to access these platforms with something other than a plain browser or the official platform app.
