The bigger issue is monetization. YouTube is popular in no small part because creators are trying to make money.

Calling RCS an industry standard is a bit… Questionable. Still, I’m happy to see Apple finally implementing it so there’s a good cross vendor texting implementation.

I wonder how this scales to large voice rooms.

Maybe; it does sound like reducing the size of the driver is potentially possible as well https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-Headers-Repo-Idea

Right; any solution they come up with presumably needs to be more scalable than “new drivers” and “old drivers”. Eventually there will be too large a set of “old drivers” and we’ll end up in the same situation with a small “new drivers” driver and a large “old drivers” blob.

Yeah… Even as a third party, I definitely have not been enjoying the smell when I’ve bumped into it. I don’t think it should be a criminal offense, but I hope we can move past “I need to light a thing on fire and just screw up the air for everyone in my vicinity.”

That’s really not even close to the optimistic scenario. It’s arguably not even in the pessimistic scenario if you’re not just in the “make stuff up club.”

We’re talking at most half a meter of rise by 2050, at most 2 meters by 2100, at most 4 meters by 2150. The intermediate projection is a third of a meter by 2050. The optimistic projection (which we’re not going to hit) is 3/20th of a meter.

Climate change is real. The risk of famine is real. The risk of global conflict is real. The risk of trying storms is real. However, “doomsday everybody dies” is not really on any serious projections. The worst case is “a lot of people in a lot of poor nations die and rich nations have more wars and more immigration.”

I’ve never met a single human that I know of that feels this strongly about Twitter. Most everyone I know was lukewarm on it at best.

It was best for keeping up with news on organizations more than it was keeping up with people.

While technically true, bridge is ultimately an IMAP server you run yourself … and they do have good reasons for this design.

Plex is moving in the app direction… So Plex is probably moving away from what you want despite being one of the easiest options.

It would probably be helpful to know what you’re trying to accomplish beyond “what”. Like, why do you want to host your music and play it via a web browser.

It’s a shame, back when they were wikia and just hosted mediawikis with light ads, it was actually a really nice service.

There are Ukrainian and Russian ties… AFAIK it’s used heavily on both sides of the conflict. The founder had some commentary as to why the stance they’ve taken is the stance they’ve taken.

His mother is also from Ukraine herself:

… and Pavel is a French / UAE citizen (as additionally demonstrated by the French government holding him for questioning). The “Telegram is a Russian puppet” arguments are fairly weak.

Their crypto is still AES it’s just the stuff around it that’s home brewed… And even then telegram has been around 10+ years now with no known breaches via the encryption.

That argument was a lot stronger years ago.

For my grandfather… The issue wasn’t the shows, but he specifically wants a few news programs and will not under any circumstances go without them.

This was a problem for even going to Internet based streaming options because he just will not accept anything without those shows for more than a few months.

Meanwhile he also complains he doesn’t have enough to watch and says he can’t afford it (he can, he just doesn’t like what it cost)… But those dang news channels… and just his outlook on TV in general.

IIRC telegram does as well

So, the web uses a system called chain of trust. There are public keys stored in your system or browser that are used to validate the public keys given to you by various web sites.

Both letsencrypt and traditional SSL providers work because they have keys on your system in the appropriate place so as to deem them trustworthy.

All that to say, you’re always trusting a certificate authority on some level unless you’re doing self signed certificates… And then nobody trusts you.

The main advantage to a paid cert authority is a bit more flexibility and a fancier certificate for your website that also perhaps includes the business name.

Realistically… There’s not much of a benefit for the average website or even small business.

Even more so, FBI wants to know where the money grandma gave to get her pictures back from the ransomware went.

All this money tracking stuff AFAIK was originally more about organized crime than tax revenue.

I’d give up any and every gun point in favor of police reform, proper election and transition of power legislation, and climate change.
