An unstable misogynist, anti-vaxxer making racist statements decides to make their own version of X11. With hookers and blackjack.

I wouldn’t waste your time even reporting on it. All their submitted patches to X11 were just refactoring, and even then they managed to break tests and fail to compile.

Just because you struggle to have a normal relationship, doesnt mean we all can’t.

And nzb360

Also if anyone else wrote it, there would be so much savaging of weasel words.

They brag that they don’t retain this data, so when governments request historical data they don’t have it.

They don’t say that they don’t provide it for anyone else to retain, so if they are given the to and from to process the message, and provide this to the CIA to retain then all of this security would be useless but would also fulfill all of the claims here.

No.

We have been exploring techniques to further reduce the amount of information that is accessible to the service, and the latest beta release includes changes designed to move Signal incrementally closer to the goal of hiding another piece of metadata: who is messaging whom.

They haven’t hidden it yet. It’s a goal.

Are you going to actually tell us what they took down or just give links to a cesspool?

They are referring to message metadata.

Even if they don’t show the content of messages, if they can show that phone number A is sending messages and getting replies to number B then that’s all the government needs.

For the purpose of operating our Services, you agree to our data practices as described in our Privacy Policy, as well as the transfer of your encrypted information and metadata to the United States and other countries where we have or use facilities, service providers or partners.

They store metadata, which is distinct from encrypted data.

Are you saying sealed sender is a lie?

When you send a traditional piece of physical mail, the outside of the package typically includes the address of both the sender and the recipient. The same basic components are present in a Signal message. The service can’t “see into” the encrypted package contents, but it uses the information written on the outside of the package to facilitate asynchronous message delivery between users.

They have a list of encrypted messages, who it’s from and who it’s to, based upon the sealed sender description. If you are using phone numbers then you are not anonymous, and a TLA agency can search known bad numbers even if Signal does not try to build that graph.

The difference between an asset and a moron is how much they are paid.

I don’t believe Russia is paying him, because he has never demonstrated restraint before.

Note how I didn’t reference any of those for ports.

I said that the small factor computer has more USB4 ports than any other, which the Mac Mini does. I also see people downvoted, but couldn’t provide a single alternative.

Apple customers are return customers, regardless of how badly they are treated.

Because Apple hardware is just better for certain use-cases. I can’t think of a single other manufacturer that would sell me a small form factor computer with 4 or 5 Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports. I would have to purchase a system and add a couple of PCIe cards.

Because of this, you get a halo effect.

Again?

I’m not sure how many times I’ve read about Lenovo partnering with a Linux distro (usually Fedora). Why do they keep dropping the policy?

Does apt remove remove apt?

£11.99 a month.

Or theres that Mubi Go, which seems to be Mubi, and a monthly cinema ticket to get bums in seats for independent cinema for £18.99.

Yeah, it’s an interesting difference.

There was a lot of pop culture references in IT Crowd, all the music posters, the retro computers, etc. but the cast didn’t even acknowledge it.

Do either of them work on the Steam Deck yet?

Last time I tried, last year I think, I couldn’t get the controller to work correctly.

I haven’t been on Reddit for about 2 years now, and it was getting terrible, but Daily Mail was generally downvoted.

Has it really got that bad? That’s really bad for the mental health of those folks still on it.

At least it used to be filled with Labour supporters who didn’t seem to have any idea of what their party actually represented, and hoped that it was some magical unicorn despite the voting patterns of the majority of their MPs.

Just because our government are a bunch of raging arseholes, doesn’t make everyone else here the same.

No one agrees with their policies, unfortunately all parties keep stepping on our necks so it ends up happening through a lack of choice.

Think? I have one, and I’ve had it for just over two years.

It’s a portable PC with joysticks for it’s primary input.

Even the sales page refers to it being a portable PC and only “console-like”.

https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

Powerful, portable PC gaming, designed for comfort and a console-like user experience.

It provides a KDE desktop out of the box. It’s not locked down, there is nothing console about it except in vague appearance because it comes with joysticks. If it lets my write my own code (which it does) and run them (which it does) then it is a general purpose computer.

Ergonomically I would plug in a keyboard rather than write Python on the touchscreen, but I would do that with a desktop too.

It’s okay that your wrong. It’s obvious that you’ve never used one, or really understand what it is. Which is a general purpose computing device.

I can, but you seem to be confused as to what a Steam Deck is.

if that’s not possible, either work with other nations that the US government wants to work with

Oh, about that…
