IIRC, Apple implemented the original spec for RCS too, so none of the Google features like e2e will even work.
I’m disabling that shit day 1, I don’t need my messages sent over Google servers - not even if they were encrypted.
I don’t even know why telecoms in Europe even bothered, and neither do they. (I asked the RCS lead at one of them, and they agreed it was kind of pointless with signal, whatsapp, …. existing)
I’m curious - if you want to listen high quality audio, why not get an actual audio player for that? Surely the DAC in some random android phone can’t be that good?
Also, the 1TB version is really only meant so they are actually somewhat usable for recording proRes or taking pictures in RAW
iDEAL sounds a lot like Bancontact/Payconic in Belgium.
Which doesn’t do everything Paypal does either. Others have mentioned the buyer protection, but there’s also multiple payment methods you can link to it, subscription management, and one-click payments (where it also enters your address for shipping) - and crucially: available worldwide.
Worse is the other way around, but if you then speed because the system doesn’t work, it’s of course still your own fault.
I know why they want it and I mostly agree, but they’re massively downplaying the reliability concerns, saying it is “usually correct” (It’s not) and “data will improve”, conveniently ignoring that these underlying systems aren’t new and the data has consistently sucked over its entire lifetime. They don’t provide a target date by which they want this data to be available, so it will never be.
Anecdotally, on a 30km drive, my car (which receives updates to nav data over cellular) is wrong 5-10 times, in both directions.
I mean that’s the thing - it does happen, but those people are already being caught
And once they catch one, they catch a bunch of others that were part of the whatsapp/telegram/whatever group.
They don’t need these backdoors to catch them, because the ones caught like this are the stupid ones they will catch regardless.
Pretty sure the gpu BIOS is limited by default, nothing the OS can do about that.
Same for other parts like the cpu - core voltage is determined by the motherboard.
I doubt the os can just go “2V vcore” and blow up hardware.
It sounds like you’re looking for a hard link, like the one between the far right and china/russia. There is none, as far as I am aware.
The fact they aligned their views about NATO and the Ukraine invasion with Russia (the “NATO threatened Russia, so they had no choice” narrative you also mentioned), and their general affection towards the USSR is more what I was getting at. To me, that’s sufficient to be considered pro-russian.
As to why I called them “more dangerous” (not “worse”, I agree that the far rights ideas are considerably worse) - It’s a couple of things. I feel they are more competent in general than the right. They’re also more idealistic and consistent.
Those by themselves are not dangerous traits, but I also question how far that affection towards the USSR and China goes.
While I actually agree with much of their points, I’m just not that sure how much of the USSR/China they’d actually like to replicate. Regardless of that, I believe they would be fairly successful in implementing much of it - hence why I think they are more dangerous.
They oppose NATO membership, and are parroting the Russian talking point that the Ukraine invasion was the west’s fault.
While they might not be explicitly supporting Russia (which would be political suicide tbh), some of their talking points sure do align quite nicely with Russia.
I personally find them more dangerous than alt right at this point in time.
The far left party in belgium is pro russian.
So far right are fascists, far left are tankies. Maybe one is worse than the other, but both are bad enough for that not to matter.
Wireguard (which is what tailscale is built on) doesn’t even require you to open ports on both sides.
Set up wireguard on a vps first, where it is accessible, then set it up from within your network. It’ll traverse NAT and everything, and you don’t have to open a port on your network.
Tailscale is the exact same thing, just easier because it does everything for you (key generation, routing, …). Their service replaces your vps, up to you if you think that’s acceptable or not. IMHO, wireguard is worth learning at least. I eventually (partially) switched to tailscale because I’m lazy, and all services I host have authentication anyway, with vpn just being a second layer.
Maybe technically, but in reality there’s just very few “good” tablets when it comes to hardware. Samsung has a few, but the rest’s just plastic trash.
No proper hardware, no sales, no tablet android users, no android apps for tablets.
I don’t see how this would fix that.
How? The sublinks devs started the project just because they didn’t want to work on Lemmy for whatever reason. If they did, they would have worked on Lemmy. It’s either Lemmy AND Sublinks, or Just Lemmy with the same developers.
Having multiple implementations is a good thing, regardless of what language they use. They all implement the same protocol, should be (mostly) compatible, and can learn from (and compete with) each other.
Look at other OSS. There’s so many Linux distributions, Why doesn’t everyone just work on a single one?
Because everyone has a slightly different view on things. This makes the OSS community stronger.
I have seen people wanting to do Java, and while I personally prefer rust, I do see why.
Outside of the entire Sublinks discussion, it’s important to note that Java is not just Java anymore either. Kotlin offers many of the same advantages syntax-wise that Rust does (including the lack of null), and has access to Java’s excellent ecosystem.
Ultimately, it is up to people to decide what they want to use. Regarding of your opinions on Java or Rust, it is a valid choice either way for this type of software. It’s a personal choice.
I’ve never really seen this in (Java/Rust/PHP) backend personally, only in client-side JS (the CORS preflight).
It’s a security feature for browsers doing calls (checking the CORS headers before actually calling the endpoint), but for backends the only place it makes sense is if you’re implementing something like webhooks, to validate the (user submitted) endpoint.
Even if that were true - does it matter?
Java is a perfectly valid choice for something like this.
Yes, Rust is “faster”, uses less memory, etc…
Java is fast enough, though. It offers a fantastic ecosystem and, seeing as these projects are ran by volunteers who do this in their free time, there’s a lot more people willing to chip in some work.
They don’t because it’s not true.
There’s a few things moving to quarkus, but a lot of that is being pushed by Redhat (whose own software was not even spring boot but JEE)
Hey, it’s me, your friendly neighbourhood corporate shill, telling you to not buy any more nonstick cookware because I love Tefal so much. More for me!
But seriously, I’m not disputing that the chemicals you listed are bad, just that the coating itself doesn’t affect you.
PFAS bad, but only there during production. PTFE fine, and that’s what’s on your pan. PTFE does not get into your blood. Any PTFE you consume comes back out, because it is not PFAS.
TL;DR: use pan until pan bad, then buy pan with no PTFE.
There’s no PTFE in that list.
No, they’re not, but Google won’t get them (unless, as you state, they use google’s messaging app) Less Google, more better, in my opinion.
MMS hasn’t been a thing at my provider for years now, so want to send me an image? Use Signal or whatsapp (begrudgingly). I already rarely receive or send SMS, so not enabling RCS isn’t a big loss for me, I don’t get added to Google’s statistics (which they are so very proud off), and I won’t really miss any of its features.
