I'd suggest waiting for more details from French officials, they have already said that they'll address it tomorrow. So far claims from the media sound like Durov's being prosecuted due to very little moderation on the platfo

Isn't this a consequence of Telegram's actions? It was their decision to become something bigger than a simple messaging app by adding channels and group chats with tons of participants. It was also their decision to understaff co

Seems like other platforms without E2EE are managing to do that without any issues whatsoever (e.g. Discord)

You're missing the key part: Telegram doesn’t have E2EE enabled by default. Group chats and channels aren’t encrypted at all. The only E2EE in Telegram is called "secret chats" and they're 1-on-1.

He holds French citizenship, apparently broke French laws, and got arrested on French soil. How is that a political decision?

I have a hard time taking seriously a poll with n=500 and absolutely no other sample observations provided. Are all respondents from US? Are they using it at work or at home for pet projects? What's the median size of the company they

I understand that chances are pretty slim but I still hope that this will make Apple do something regarding AirPods updates on other OSes or at least on Android.

Not in the hot-swappable way but yeah, they kinda do: e.g. latest AMD CPUs use sockets called FP7 / FP7r2 / FP8. However, I don't think footprints of these sockets are public.

Gaussian splatting is such an impressive technique. I wish it finds real-world applications useful for average person -- right now it's probably the best way to show photorealistic scenes in VR. There ought to be more usages out there.
