The recent duckduckgo ad campaign will surely help rescue googlers and so does my mission to ensure everyone I know doesn’t use google search.

But but goat milk

I believe in the underlying message (use linux), but doesn’t practically every big company change their privacy policy or tos every 10 minutes.

I don’t trust any governmental body, probably for the best.

I like to link to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crony_capitalism because without the people who abuse the system, it would be a lot better. We need to close these loopholes, but of course rich people have the money to keep them open or find new ones.

Removing loopholes that the cronies exploit and removing tax havens, etc (other tax loopholes) would (in my opinion) make leave us in a much better state that we currently are in.

We hate crony capitalism not just capitalism on its own I believe.

Edit: hope this isnt recycled

I believe their license (GPLv3) doesn’t permit modifying the source code without releasing it to anyone who asks for it, but realistically, if it’s only code they have written, they won’t sue themself over it.

I’m no licensing expert, but that’s how I see it.

I didn’t mean to say that it’s (still) trash, I think it’s useable, but there are still a lot of improvements to come.

Element as a client seems to want to do everything, which is probably great for a lot of people, but it (in my experience) has led to a poor user experience (which with more time, will likely improve, they seem to have a lot of backing).

With Element completing voice/video implementation, I imagine it’ll be easier for other clients to reference their work when implementing their own support.

Once the other clients get voice support, I will definitely be trying them out again, I’m sure they will make a much simpler experience that works out the box.

The lost keys problem has luckily never happened to me, it usually boils down the user error I believe, but yeah, if it is a user error that happens often, they should figure out some way to fix that (probably a hard problem, which is sort of fixed (i believe) if you use the client on multiple devices, so if you get logged out of your account you can easily authorize your access from another logged in device, eg desktop/mobile).

I agree, I don’t think it’s trash. From my experience, chatting is very good, voice/video are just the next thing they are tackling.

Better UX will probably come after important features are done.

Just imagine the good they could have done by being a new competent Matrix client that can do everything, but instead they are a Discord clone.

Yeah, they kinda screwed up Element with combining mobile and desktop features into one app. The first time I tried creating a call on desktop, it was suddenly apparent how confusing they had made it, because you can do it in multiple ways (normal calls & conference calls).

There are other UIs that look very nice, but sadly don’t support voice chat. Hopefully these other clients can catch up, but it’ll likely take a while.

When you got unlimited money, you have a finger in everyone’s pie. An unfortunate reality.

Probably depends on where in the world you travel and if you travel long distance at all/often.

I have also never seen a touch screen on a bus or train, only one time on a plane a long time ago.

Either of us deliberately destroy data: locked up.

Company exec does the same: slap on the butt and a $2 fine.

We should all be on the same playing field!

Hosting on your own hardware is much more fun though! In most cases it’s safer too, you don’t really need to worry about much as long as you dont portforward your ssh port & don’t run programs as root.

I would say it’s cheaper as well, but that depends on how expensive the static ip lease is per month.

The internet is full of bots pounding at your machines to get in. It is only a matter of time until the breach Jellyfin.

If you are talking about brute force attacks for your password, then use a good password… and something like fail2ban to block ips that are spamming you.

This point doesn’t exactly match, but: public services like google auth don’t require users use vpns. They have a lot more money to keep stuff secure, but you may see my point… auth isn’t too trivial of a feature to keep secure nowadays. They implement similar protections, something to block spammers and make users have good passwords (if you dont use a good password, you are still vulnerable on any service).

Wow you have totally changed my mind about my original post!

Serious though, just here for discussion, but it seems that there’s a lot of sheep here that dont question anything or try to expand upon their knowledge… which is a problem, why can’t you reply with something constructive?

Keep reading your headlines that fuel your anger if that’s what you want, but don’t reply to people that oppose your views if you have nothing to add.

You had a chance with your reply to help me and possibly others understand your viewpoint more, but all you have done is make me hate u lol.

Tangent warning thats too late

It does, to me, seem like a violation of privacy (looks like patients have no consent in whether their private data is collected).

But, personally, I would think there would have been better, non-public ways of doing this if he really wanted to exterminate austistic people, etc.

It being public, makes me think he wants PR, etc and wants to be the dude to cure autism.

Derek Dash. Derek, the name, suprisingly peaked in popularity (in the US) around the 80s so according to my calculations, you were born then.
