You should use your bridge off of a residential IP in the same city as your other devices, or else Facebook finds the activity suspicious.

It does. I use ntfy with a ntfy server on one of my VPSs, and I use the official ntfy account on GMS as an intermediary. It works fine, but I'll probably switch back to Matrix's pu…

Gitlab and Element's website structure is different. element.io is the site for the managed product, so even their "on-premise" installer is meant to be used in a commercial relati…

Unless they installed conda on an Apple machine, because I'm pretty sure that constitutes original sin.

...and where do you go when AWS/Signal's servers go down? How about choosing something that's federated? https://matrix.org/

This is NPR One, no? That's why I've been using it - it gives you a nice steady stream of NPR's programming and outside podcasts, randomly sampled at first, which in time starts pr…

...because it's a different protocol with different needs that are satisfied by its own notation? Edit: Just read Arathorn's comment above, very cool - I hadn't seen that one befor…

Guess I was just skipped, then. C'est la vie - still a great project, and one worth sponsoring if you can (IMO).

I was on their Patreon for a while, but had to hop off because of financial fun. Sadly none of the rewards are updated and the flair is no longer given out; at this point it makes …

Matrix[1] is trying to solve that issue, I'd highly recommend looking into it. I actually pipe most of my various "chat" networks (including WhatsApp) into it via bridges[2]. As yo…

An incognito browser would ignore all client-side cookies, so the Slack web client would not try to - say - resume a previous user's session or re-use any previously saved data. Li…

Telegram? Signal? Viber? Matrix? I feel like all of these apps (with special emphasis on Telegram and Signal) have almost the exact same UX and features of WhatsApp... beyond adopt…

Shame, that "Essential Gem" looked pretty promising...

Just as a heads up, you should probably remove the yaourt xmake section of the install section (the Arch Linux instructions). Yaourt is no longer actively maintained and poses secu…

It was pretty straight forward to install/set up? There are some requirements to be able to federate, namely having a domain and associated certs for encryption, but otherwise noth…

Yeah, the overall UI is significantly cleaner. The team did a great job with this one. Can't wait for it to replace the old Riot completely.

> Isn't this also the case with Matrix that no implementations except the official ones support E2E encryption? A general purpose project to provide all clients with E2E encryption…

When you consider the costs associated with running, say, a proper VPN or cloud storage solution it doesn't seem unreasonable to offer a paid plan. Supporting Firefox and getting s…

Completely valid response.

Yes, correct. Ironsource is an advertisement/UA company that doesn't offer any "toolbar". What you're angry at (and rightly so) is the fact that their network was used to offer mal…

> spam-bundleware-crapware-search-bar Ironsource doesn't offer any sort of "search-bar" as far as I am aware - they're a mobile advertisement/UA company.

> Calling it gaming would be a stretch. Maybe by your personal definition it would, but they are most definitely games.

Hypercasual games don't monetize through in-app purchases, but through advertisements (interstitial, banner, and rewarded video ads). A hyper-casual game is only profitable if it c…

One thing to note is that hypercasual can reach a much wider audience than traditional gaming genres; it isn't male dominated and isn't exclusive to younger (15-30) demographics. T…

Been using Linux as my daily driver for the past ~7 years or so. I use Elementary and Arch as my two go to systems - one for work/stability, other for Wayland/playing around. Contr…
