What exactly does Signal have to offer if one already uses iMessage with contact key verification?

Not the same thing since this the device is still partially decrypted.

Not necessarily. If you trust the code running on your device then there is no backdoor they could install on a server that would break e2ee. They would have to backdoor the client where the keys are.

What do you have against pages and numbers

I wouldn’t be surprised if the amount of power drawn overnight when a processor is in sleep mode ends up being less than the power it takes to boot the device.

The point is that this post is like highlighting an instance of Jews attacking a Nazi in 1930s Germany. Certainly not great, but also let’s make sure we keep the bigger picture in focus here. And that’s the tens of thousands of dead Palestinians murdered by the IDF.

I don’t think peertube will ever truly be successful, because hosting and distributing video content is just extremely expensive as it is so large.

And what would Apple be able to do about it? They don’t have your password*, so they’ll be just as unable to decrypt the device as the police.

*you can give them your password via iCloud I believe but you don’t have to

Those are usually referred to as “the king’s courts”, and “court of law” specifically distinguishes that the court is based on law rather than the king.

Bold of you to assume there will be courts of law.

I strongly disagree with this. In practice, supporting chrome does not imply supporting safari and vice versa. In particular, Safari is much, much slower about adopting new web technologies. Google basically implements support for anything they can think up, Apple waits for it become a ratified standard and then implements it only if they want to. Their JavaScript implementations are also completely different.

Compared to the US and China? Sure. Compared to North Korea, not really as much.

The lemm.ee admin is Estonian I believe so it doesn’t seem like abuse.

More competition for CPUs in laptops/desktops/servers is a good thing, especially if these can compete on efficiency.

On domestic US flights, the “premium economy” tier is just an economy seat with an extra few inches of legroom, and sometimes complimentary alcohol. It might also be a refundable ticket if you buy it up front as opposed to as an upgrade. That’s all

If I could game on my MacBook Pro I already would be. There’s a decent library of games that can run but it’s a lot more work than a windows or Linux box if you want to venture beyond 64-bit native ports.

I’m the reverse. As I get older, all the things I used to consider deal breakers just don’t matter as much. I don’t really care about how upgradable or repairable the device is, I’m just gonna pay Apple for the upgrade and pay them again to fix it. Whenever I have to solve an issue on my gaming PC I get an inch closer to just throwing it out and buying whatever overpriced gaming laptop comes working out of the box.

Similar tools have been written that support locally hosted models if that’s what you mean.

Why? Your boss sure does

That was a military attack on military targets. It’s hard to know for sure what the actual outcome of that day was though since the occupation prohibits investigations. Certainly there were many civilian deaths, but there isn’t any evidence that suggests they were an intended target or that the majority were even killed by Hamas.
