If your country's security depends on someone on the internet taking their product off for the whole world something must be wrong with the people in power. This is censorship and suppression at its peak.
Fun fact: They have deployed facial recognition vans, AI smart glasses and illegally tracking the protesters (most of which are students) without their consent to threaten and deter them.
Not sure how good of a social protocol it is, but I see ATProto/PDS as a possible succesor to solid [1], if they implment the permissioned data access model correctly. Which would certainly have a lot of good usecases, beyond social apps.
lol, true! Even for a single side project, that probably no one is gonna use, I often struggle for hours while choosing a name, meanwhile these folks...
Except it isn't just working as a federation protocol here, it is also acting as an identity provider and a data store for you social interaction on a repo.
Exactly, even if one doesn't know about either of these things (gleam & tangled), all it would take is one or two searches or even better they just visit the homepage. I suppose people have become so used to reading llm generated bluff that simple things don't appeal/make sense to them anymore.
Exactly, signal is decent on all the platforms, while mobile clients for whatsapp is somewhat tolerable if you ignore the constant AI push. But the web/desktop client is a pain in the ass to use.
Not at all, telegram clients in every platform are much much faster than whatsapp, signal etc. on the same platform. Although, this is more visible on older devices and on poor network conditions, I clearly see a difference in my newer devices too.
- insanely fast search, chat history browsing and in app navigation
- unlimited unencrypted cloud storage, your chats and docs always stays available
- ability to send very large files
- ability to host large video and voice chats
- chat automation
- auto translation and transcription
- mini apps
- open source client, with lots of customization
- phone number less sign up (you can purchase a burner number from them and sign up with that, I guess it costs their crypto (ton) tho)
- sending gifts
Demos are not usable on android/chromium. Can't scroll or interact with the elements, clicking the buttons works but only sometimes and the rest of the time flashes a skyblue overlay.
but if you other ppl to read, use or contribute, they will probably need the "work history" more than a "publish history". because nobody is going to read those big ass commits, specially when unsure about it worthiness.
How is this relevant to the current topic? I don't have any context on political stories you are discussing, but I am fairly sure that this isn't the place to do so, not at least this thread.
