Tbh, I’m surprised this post isn’t removed yet. Comments where I’ve been way less straight about the topic than in this post are usually removed. Maybe the professor reference saved the day this time?

That’s a pretty strong guess I may concede. Still sad. This is the fediverse. Censorship shouldn’t be dictated by how renowned the subject is.

That is a shame, but still not a big surprise. In comparison Apple has been sharing all kind of iPhone push notifications with the US government. I guess no other app will save your privacy from gvt. iPhone notifications to US gvt.

Okey, but I mean what are the threats to my privacy if I use telegram?

What are the biggest threats in telegram? Corporations, widespread scams or individual ppl closer to me?

Source?

Youtube servers are terrible. Why not focus on offering a smoother experience? Then charge what you want.

How do you do that?

Yeah, when I read this I was like ‘is anyone still denying ads use of microphone?’ Eight years ago I would be called paranoid, but now everybody experienced smartphone at it’s best.

Still, as from a mechanical engineer perspective I would trust slightly more a combustion motor system to work offline rather than an electrical, where I could never know how the motor really works and relays on.

Personally I enjoy driving a 1987 bensine Ford.

It’s not that. Western cityboys will never understand arabic culture.

Donald Trump photo without eyebrow bandage raises ears.

You are the dude. Nowadays ppl have zero common sense about human contact behaviour.

Wow, in Europe we haven’t reached that gas station modernization stage yet.

FBI: *confiscates Hunter’s laptop.

Republicans: Where is the laptop?

FBI: I don’t know what laptop means.

Steam

Windows updates anyways after several restarts choosing not to. I guess it’s some kind of default setting that may be set off too.

What about importing tabs without consent? Is that also lack of user knowledge? Even when it was turned off in settings?

How can ‘will be bad’ be worse than being already bad? Somebody please explain me that logic.

It’s good to speculate a bit, but let’s check the facts and admit Biden have killed tens of thousands lifes and that is really evil no matter what.

The difference may be Windows forces to update, while i.e. Ubuntu has several older versions still working.

In short: Trump is the lesser evil.

I just can’t understand how ppl think of Biden as a better human being after how he handles Afghanistan, Palestine, Yemen…

That guy has zero appreciation for human life!
