Their real argument (to shareholders etc) is that they want that 30% rake on everything you buy, so they want you to have 900 apps on your phone instead of a web browser than visits 900 websites.
Getting messages to flow across lots of different platforms for a single account has been a source for a number of very bad security problems in other messengers. (Recent example: Matrix, Nebuchadnezzar). Different projects, different priorities.
Signal already has the ability to register multiple devices with the same account, though. The only thing they haven't done with this is support sync of past messages. That seems like it should be much simpler than supporting multiple devices in the first place, and I'm wondering if there's some non-obvious attack that they're simply not talking about or if it just hasn't reached the top of their priority list yet.
Literally specifically said that. Yet Edge and Chrome on iOS actively suppressed JXL in prior builds (yes they can do that — actually calling it a skin is technically wrong as while the engine is Safari, they have a lot of flexibility), and very recently exposed it.
Apple is dropping requirements for all browsers to use WebKit, but that doesn’t mean Mozzila/Google/Brave have started releasing them, especially with iOS 17 still being a beta.
There are many file explorer apps ( MiXplorer is my favorite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixplorer.... ) on Google Play that have optional root access as well. You can use it w/o root, but if you have root it prompts for elevation and then lets you use it.
I also use MiXplorer, and wouldn't be able to read my camera's SD cards on my phone without it because Android doesn't support exfat for some reason. Root is required for it to use its own filesystem drivers of course.
I don't think I knew it was on the Play store. It's a free download from the website, but paid on the Play store. I'd like to make a donation without giving Google a cut - the author deserves to get paid.
We're one killer global war / pandemic / etc away from extinction
Being on multiple planets (and eventually multiple solar systems) prevents a species from going extinct if something catastrophic happens to their home world
> We're one killer global war / pandemic / etc away from extinction
No, we're not. And whatever we end up doing to the Earth, it's still going to be vastly more suitable for human life than anywhere else in the solar system.
If you care about preventing extinction, stop looking at the stars, and start digging bunkers. Or building undersea cities, or whatever.
Oh yeah, telegram is a nazi company, they "commited a crime". Fuck off. What is your plan to defeat nazism, ban the whole internet? Because, sorry for giving you the bad news, Telegram is far from the only place where there are stupid people.
FYI: You might be shadowbanned. A lot of your recent comments are marked as dead, without seeming low quality enough to get flags (including this one, which I just vouched for).
What's weird is that some of your comments aren't dead, and typically shadowbanned users have all of their comments auto-marked as dead. It's possible those got vouches though.
