  • See, this is the benefit of stem cells. I was able to cut off my face a few years back and now I have several copies of it that I grew and surgically attached to my doubles.

  • Wire is the best for security (it literally won't let you send messages unencrypted), cost (its free), privacy (no phone number required), and usability for the masses (Foss client on all the platforms, messages sync between each client like you'd expect)

    I haven't found anything that checks all those boxes other than Wire (though I do wish we had other options that came close)

  • It doesn't exist. The devs said they won't make clients sync by design. And that means I will never use SimpleX because its a required feature for me (and most other people).

  • How do you turn that off? Its so fucking frustrating when I'm really digging what I'm listening to, so crank up the volume -- only to have it skip to the next track!!

    Ive searched the app settings and can't find how to disable this. Its maddening!

  • You could also add telemetry. If >50% of your users all skip in the same spot, its an ad break

  • This doesn't affect non-profit companies, who legally cannot have anyone who takes profits away from the company.

    For profit companies should be illegal

  • I mean, usually when I download podcasts there's just 5 or so ads that get injected over-and-over. I don't think it would be too complicated to have some software recognizes the length of an ad, and that it occurs >2x in a file, and then just mark that section as "ad" and auto skip over it

    Can a VPN read my traffic to know what I'm doing?

  • Lol OK. Every US company has to legally provide their private keys (or a subordinate CA) to the US government if asked, due to NSL laws. We have examples of the US doing this historically, only because some companies broke the law and spoke out publicly.

    So go ahead and remove all CAs issued from US companies. Verisign, cloudflare, akamai, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.

    Now 80% of the Internet is broke.

  • The damages causes to the developers are equal to the profits made by the company that took their code and made improvements to it, without sharing it upstream as legally required

  • In this age where PIs have been replaced with Facebook scrapers and lawyers have been replaced with ChatGPT, it can more easily be hidden -- especially if you use tools like Tor.

  • So does Wire. The reason Wire is better than Signal and Telegram is privacy.

    The reason Wire is better than SimpleX is usability. Namely, it has clients on all platforms, and the messages sync between all those devices.
