Sorry for the lousy work in structure / syntax etc, I was in a hurry. But I HOPE people get the point and realize how serious all this is.

Let's talk about Microsoft as serious mail provider: I self-host my mail server for Eventually I find a portal from MS to do exactly that: Appeal. I tried to use the portal but I g…

There is a fork of it called "barrier". Using it every day. https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

...which has the root of the Greek verb "κυβερνώ", which means "to govern", and is also the root of Kubernetes, which means "governor/captain" :)

I believe it is not about the means and the tooling. Systemic problems need to fix the system, not various outcomes of such problems. Assuming we are talking about democracies, I g…

Well, to the best of my knowledge, in most countries, the constitutions themselves suggest some actions to the people in the case somebody is not complying with the constitution. D…

>There's no reason why this should not hold for spying and policing agencies Isn't that what democracies call "constitution"? Something that protects citizens' rights again wrong-d…

WhatsApp has streams.

"Streams" for example. You cannot create a group of contacts that only receive messages from you, but they cannot send into the group. Replies of stream-members only come to the cr…

Is there any plan in making it part of pulse audio shipped with Ubuntu? Is there a straight-fw way to install it somehow and enable high-quality calls for BT Headsets? I am sure th…

The point is that the same headset works perfectly fine on windows/android/apple devices. The call quality there is just great. Only calls on Linux are with that issue.

A HUGE issue for me is the quality during calls with a BT headset (HSP/HFP) profiles. This is a killer in my workflow as I need to be in calls all the time, and for that I need to …

With basic auth you give something more than that. You give the ACTUAL credentials, because they are base64 encoded and not hashed. It is trivial to decode them and have the raw va…

Yes, i guessed the same, but after i posted the original answer.

1. Telegram - Not p2p 2. Tox - p2p 3. Whatsapp - Not p2p 4. Signal - Not p2p Putting the above aside: If Tox doesn't work for you, your best mobile-friendly options are: 1) Signal …

Yes I did that, but the gui looked horrible, as it was not using my themes, colors etc. I then found out that this was a known issue of snap at that time.

An official ppa repository for Ubuntu would be great! There is a link to an unofficial one in your page, but since this is a security app, installing it from some random repo just …

No I have not misunderstood you, maybe I haven't made myself clear enough(not a native English speaker here...). As you also say, the context itself is what matters. For example, t…

Obviously then, you appreciate "having a clean, web-free house" more compared to the contribution of the webs in your home to the environment. Same same way, the hunter appreciates…

But still, nobody really claims to appreciate the pork the schnitzel he enjoys in the cafeteria used to be. It is much easier to get emotionally engaged with a living being when yo…

Are you suggesting that if he had claimed that he generally appreciates elks but not the ones he kills, would make more sense?

Of course it is only speculation, but this is my argument: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13390564

What you say makes blocking Signal pointless. If they blocked Signal just because it was less of a trouble to block compared to WhatsApp, then all the people that were on Signal wi…
