The fact that telegram operates in a country that scores 18/100 on global freedom and 30/100 on internet freedom.

Any reasons why?

Honestly, I was going to say Tuta, but seeing how proton changed, I would now add the option of self hosting.

I am unsure how difficult or easy it is, but it’s becoming a very viable option now.

Teams does record how much a member talked and displays a bar that shows that information.

I wouldn’t be surprised if zoom does something similar.

I have an old pc running windows 10, it would be cool if it stops getting updates. Makes for a nice offline pc to get some old apps and games running in the future.

They will take it seriously if their personal information becomes visible.

I can but the issue is that I won’t be using it. My current phone will be better than a used phone bought.

I don’t mind giving graphene a try but I’ll be honest, I have the following issues:

• Need to buy a pixel phone for this.
• I use a memory card so pixel phones might not be an option.
• fear of bricking a phone that I just got.

I do have two questions here to be honest,

1. Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?
2. Why use this instead of RedReader?

Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.

What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.

The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.

It’s a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?

I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can’t shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.

Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).

It’s a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

File level access to files. I would love to have the option of moving files in folders and connecting it to a PC to drag and drop files.

True multi tasking.

Ability to install apps from other sources.

Ask a Ninja.

They will still keep them green. You know how teens react to those bubbles.

First recall, then getting rid of local accounts, and now this.

Might shift back to Linux now.

Honestly, one month of a service like Netflix or Disney. I’m against these services but I feel $15 will give great value for a month.

Tuner. A great app to use.

That’s actually a great one.

What about it’s batteries?

They are still chemical so they wouldn’t last forever.
