I sign up to Facebook, which costs them money (storage costs, network traffic, CPU, etc) and in exchange they make money off me by showing me ads. How is that unfair? It would be like saying it is unfair that meat I buy in the supermarket c

DRM is very hard to get right, it's some sort of challenge. It's no wonder it attracts very bright minds and they probably are happy working on it.

In Spain they get a royalty from everything you can store data on, from hard disks to mobile phones.

>/* aIgnoreCase = */ true Very interesting, is that comment inserted automatically by an IDE?

by iqanq 5y ago
It depends. I understand that ad networks for example take identifying data (such as IP addresses) without consent. But if I sign up to Facebook and I put there my name and my face, it's because I want to. No one has put a gun to my he

>The EU is never held accountable for the laws they make Of course it is. The tech sector is practically non-existant here, and if something works out, they leave for the US. Isn't that what being accountable is?

This does not break DNS, HTTP/3, whatever. It does not affect outgoing connections at all, only incoming connections from the WAN to your router.

That's extremely unlikely.

No, I don't need an apple developer account. Any regular apple id works. Yes, they get signed with my own self-generated key.

You can sideload apps on ios without even being jailbroken using sideloadly or altstore.

by iqanq 5y ago
I haven't. I can sideload apps just fine. But Telegram doesn't provide me with the app file to sideload. As another comment says, I could compile it myself, but that is hard for someone with no expertise. Not to mention that I wou

That argument is not honest. There already are laws against doxing and threats. We don't need to censor a whole platform because of that. Especially if it's done just so we can conveniently muzzle groups that just want to protest

When you tap on the group, instead of the contents, you see a message like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Telegram... The exact message you see is "Unfortunately, this cha

Everybody wants to be the one who decides what is extreme and what is mainstream so they can silence and ostracise those who don't think the way they do.

I don't see the issue. People (should) have a right to meet other people with similar interests and organise.

Exactly, channels, groups, and bots.

On an unrelated note - Telegram is already heavily censored on iPhones because of app store policies and the team refuses to put out an uncensored IPA file that we can sideload to our phones. If someone from the team reads this (I doubt it,

No, I am neutral to them. Respect is earned. But it is a spectrum, not a binary choice. >In my opinion, not giving respect to fellow humans by default is the terrible choice. Not every walking person deserves to be called a "fellow

We need to ensure how? Injecting money senselessly forever like we do in Africa, bringing war to those countries, infiltrating their governments to take them over...? These comments always perplex me.

Firefox is important for the web. Mozilla is severely mismanaged, and that fact is ruining Firefox. As an example, they keep asking for donations which they are not spending on Firefox development. It is that kind of stuff that people such

If you don't like nasty surprises, I recommend that you use Firefox ESR instead: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/enterprise/ (In the same vein, if you use Windows, I recommend Windows LTSC)
