I'm also hearing a bunch of grumblings and speculation that Valve is developing a non kernel level anti cheat.

I personally like the way that Obsidian and Typora hide the styling: when you get to where it would be, it shows up on screen to show you it's there causing the styling. When your typing indicator moves away from it, it hides it. Some

I disagree. Universal just implies everyone gets it. If the system includes a gradual fall off, it's still universally applied to everyone, no?

The difference is that money was created then for that purpose. In an ideal universal basic income, the money comes from taxes; not just printed on the spot. This to my (probably base and naive understanding of economics) would not result i

Because of critical mass. A significant amount of non-technically inclined people use Windows. Some use Mac. And they're intimidated by anything different.

True, and it can work... As long as the ad spots are static and not dynamically placed.

It's certainly coming soon. I've noticed it in podcasts recently. There have been a few hiccups with them recently.

After briefly having used both, the main difference besides layout and aesthetics, is that 010 has a bigger repo of premade templates.

In the past, you could only see the last 10,000 messages. Currently you can only see the last 90 days of messages.

I can't find an app that lets me record both sides of the conversation on Android. Only my side. When I looked into, it seems that Google has disabled that part of the API that apps cannot record both sides of a conversation. Does anyo

A friend of my recently purchased the GL-iNet Flint 2[0], and is quite happy with it. It by default runs OpenWRT. There's a recent video on LTT's sub channel ShortCircuit about it [1]. [0]: https://www.gl-inet.com/

Likely not. The most egregious offenders around me are Mexican restaurants. They often have 4 or 5 double sided page menus.

I can Ctrl+F on a web menu. I have to manually scan to find stuff in a paper menu for one.

Restaurants don't often print their menus in house. They get the printed at a print shop. Which takes time, and labor. And unless you're doing them at volume, isn't a negligible costs. Don't get me wrong, I prefer paper

I'm not quite sure how having to reprint paper menus is cheaper than a static CDN website. Especially if you have multiple locations. As much as Restaurants moan and complain about raising prices, having to reprint menus isn't 0 c

The winning in this case was they had to fight to be allowed to release what they provided. As nice as it would be to not have to provide that information, Signal proved that the only information they have to give is largely useless to law

As I stated in a sister comment, Dubai is marginally better, but not significantly better. If it's the same original developers, they could be squeezed through their family.

EDIT: Disregard below. I'm an idiot when it comes to maps. The statement regarding if the developers are still Russian I believe is still relevant. Considering the state of Saudi Arabia, having it there is marginally better, but still

Another thing that wasn't pointed out: Du Rove said "Signal messages have been exploited against them in US courts or media." This would be the same case for Telegram as well, if someone has your phone. I believe that Signal
