moving from iphone to stock android is arguably a downgrade in regards to security & privacy. a rough rule of thumb is grapheneOS on a pixel (security & privacy) > stock ios (secur…

Japan and most of Europe do not really use iMessage (Japan uses LINE, Europe generally uses WhatsApp), so I'm not sure exactly how iPhone market dominance is relevant to the previo…

a large chunk of Georgian territory is occupied by Russia, Abkhazia is one (which essentially functions as basically a breakaway state but is de facto russian controlled), and Sout…

hadn't heard of this project before, but their github does include instructions on how to claim it even in a network-less dedicated docker container if you're truly paranoid. https…

Different contracts between Twitch partners have different levels of ad density, as well as differing amounts of cuts of subs/bits taken by Twitch. It's pretty negligible though, a…

It seems to be an AWS outage or fastly or something, Reddit, Twitch, parts of Amazon (their CSS for example) all seem to be having issues.

Some people in the article either have no ties to the US at all or have renounced US citizenship, so it _will not_ be corrected next year as they don't file tax returns. Regardless…
