Yeah, I like to read Hacker news from time to time. Since reading this article I will surely remember that friendship.
Could not have said it better.
And what would you do on that other planet without Internet and stuck with Microsoft Windows and no way to activate your OEM license ? At least Linux has nice manual pages to read in the main time off-line 😄
In addition to the ban on sharing data with third parties for advertising, the proposed order with Monument, which must be approved by a federal court before it can go into effect, also prohibits the company from misrepresenting its data collection and disclosure practices and imposes a $2.5 million civil penalty for violating OARFPA, which will be suspended due to the company’s inability to pay.
They didn't make enough money with this data selling to pay this fine ? Right.
When I first heard of Beeper I thought it was interesting. But reading later that they were buying really old iPhones to jail break them for bridging with iMessage I had some doubts. Now they're bought by the Wordpress people, who also bought Tumblr, and apparently selling user data to AI.. And from what I've read about bridges there is no E2EE with Matrix (what Beeper seems to use) to Signal bridge.
The Arch Linux wiki has been the best source for information for a long time for me. Many years ago the Gentoo wiki was good as well, till they lost all content and had to start from scratch.
Reminds me of the days that cdroms were brand new and advertised like indestructible, with photos of elephants walking over it. Having said that I assume SSD disks can break like other hard disks can break, and in that case RAID can save a lot of time to get a computer back up especially when a lot of data is involved.
Good point, except that this, paying for services and still not getting any privacy, is a reality. But maybe your remark was ironic :)

Yes, we were aware of the possibility of suspension from the start
-
Yes, we were aware that political circumstances could change
-
But thumbing your nose at conservative autocrats as an even minor form of protest is fun

In the end pretty much everyone has migrated out successfully (and I’ll continue to help anyone who remains)

We’ve all gotten a fun story out of this
Is OpenSESAME taken already ?
