It absolutely is. Why should people receive a free service while their democratically elected officials enact laws that enable them to target global revenue in their fines?

I understand that you’re using it as an example, but I still find it very misleading. Estonia is pro-privacy and has consistently voted against Chat Control. On the other hand, France has been undermining privacy for a few years now. They s

A £150 back market phone is not a secure device. It probably stopped receiving security patches a month after its release.

If only banks cared about state-of-the-art security. In reality, banks couldn’t care less. They only care about checking boxes and don’t consider where these boxes come from; every unchecked box is a risk. Did the latest sham "security

Who exactly are "they" in this context? Shared documents don't mention anything like that.

And so another myth was born, thanks to an anonymous fiction writer from Reddit! People still believe that "Uber raises prices when your battery is low!", and now they'll be parroting this for years to come. Great job.

I assume that police compile such lists, right? If so, this once again says a lot about their competence.

Why would it? 5G modems are expensive. GL.iNet makes something like that, Puli AX — it usually goes for around $350 [1]. [1]: https://store.gl-inet.com/products/puli-ax-xe3000-wi-fi-6-5g...

As opposed to blindly trusting the police and LEA? Yes, absolutely — I'd rather trust computer scientists.

I am sorry, but I don't follow — are you saying that Chat Control is a solution to any of these problems? It achieves the opposite. Undermining encryption under the pretext of "think of the children" won't end well. It o

I am not criticizing Codeberg, I'm just adding context that seems very important from my experience. As mentioned above — I am glad that they exist and do what they do. However, that doesn't mean I should ignore issues like this.

I fail to see how this is relevant to the point I was making. With uptime being so low, it's not a viable alternative: budget / resources / etc. don't change that fact. Don't get me wrong — I am glad that they are d

Pay even more to bring your own hardware? Well, that's new. I get that self-hosted runners generate huge egress traffic, but this is still wild. Hope it pushes more companies to look into self-hosted Gitea / Forgejo / etc.

Another centralized platform isn’t a great candidate for fixing "the public square". The future is decentralized. Many people have learned the hard way what happens with centralized social media.

I understand that the author is struggling in the current job market. I can't even imagine how hard it is right now with entry-level positions. However, dismissing the overhead associated with such positions is a very simplistic view.

I doubt that. Netflix has an app on TVs as old as 8-10 years now. SoCs in such TVs aren't enough to decode AV1. They're stuck with H.264 for a long time.
