Yeah, I am personally against that as well. Enforcing laws is a police job, not the average citizen's, because they “supposedly” undergo certain training to do that. If everyone started acting like a police officer or reporting insigni

It won’t work as you expect. Most of these drivers don’t have insurance. Second, you might make things worse, as now you have other Karen-like drivers who will eventually start threatening other people to report them, and that will escalate

I think I started around 2009 and before that in slashdot, mostly lurking around. Then, using alt accounts, the internet back in the day taught you to never post real info about yourself, so it was lurking through RSS feeds.

> Knowing someone's phone number doesn't automatically One way or another, phone numbers are like home addresses in the digital world. Once exposed, it’s just a matter of time and resources dedicated to that. Not to mention, so

It isn’t about me picking a lane; I’m just stating things as they are. If you want a feature-rich chat and social app that has a user base too, but you don’t care much about security, go for Telegram. Although some might argue that chats ar

> allows edits and deleting messages for all users And it has those little features like masked text and what not, features wise, telegram is just the best. I didn’t use Signal for a long time, you can’t edit the messages there!?

User base, large groups (I think the max is 200k members), channels, bots to automate work, animated stickers, video messages (not the calls one), and video/voice calls within the group (not sure if Signal has that), file storage and f

> but the user experience just in creating an account was pretty abysmal I agree it was, probably better now, but for the average person, it’s too much to “process” compared to just adding your phone number and signing up.

> And I think WhatsApp probably does it Rule of thumb: never trust anything Facebook. I’m sure sending your messages through mail is more secure and private than WhatsApp these days.

I agree, but I wouldn’t compare Signal to a Zephyr. Classic cars have that charm and magic. I would say Signal is more like a Honda Civic; its users are loud and annoying, and yet it’s mediocre in all categories. :)

Knowing someone's phone number is enough to potentially compromise it. Sophisticated methods can involve zero-click attacks, where just sending you an SMS that you won’t even see can lead to a compromised device. You can check how Tuck

That’s Telegram's CEO saying how he and his employees were “persuaded and pressured” by US FBI agents to integrate open-source libraries into Telegram (1).. There are a lot of questions to ask, like if the open-source libraries are ind

It’s not encrypted by default, and even if it were encrypted, you should never trust any connected device with anything important. That being said, Telegram is hands down the best communication platform right now. It is feature-rich, with f

Just because he is the CEO doesn’t mean he is directly liable. The company is a separate entity. I don’t see anyone arresting Elon or other CEOs because of “not enough moderation.” Most actions are to block platform access. There must be so

A while ago, I did something similar but with an AirTag. I found a few at a local thrift store, and whoever donated them still had them linked to their iCloud, so they were useless. But it was easier since the area code was known. I tried a

I will give it a try. Firefox has recently not been the best, especially in private browsing mode. Opening less than 15 tabs there, and it’s already using 25 GiB of RAM!

Cool, it works on Firefox but not on Safari for iPhone. The volume change of the Rick Roll song at the end is predefined. I thought for a second it was automatic once the narrator spoke, which would be cool!

I like LocalSend and Landrop. The latter performed better when I sent large files. However, neither of them does it automatically; you have to manually do it every time, which is okay since they don’t claim to be sync software.

Nope, it does sync in the background, just few minutes ago I had a notification that it synced.

I don’t see an issue with that comment. Sometimes when people ask this, it opens another dimension of discussion and comparisons. Maybe there is already a library and someone will post it. Maybe it will encourage someone to create one, give

Fun fact: About 89% of Canada's land area (8,886,356 km² or 3,431,041 sq mi) is Crown land: 41% is federal Crown land and 48% is provincial Crown land. The remaining 11% is privately owned. For example, 92% of Quebec, 87% of Ontario, 9

I’m more interested in using tools like hashcat, any benchmark on these? As the docs link returns error.
