why?

I thought you were thinking an AI based code generator klike copilot) does it, when you said the IDE does it.

username checks out /s

not the IDE, its the compiler. this is also not some AI shit, in many cases (not all) the compiler can actually figure out how to do this, because it’s not hard, it would just be a lot of boilerplate if written manually.

the AI thing must be something relatively new. shows they are all for using buzz tech

they couldn’t finish the message. maybe they were hit by the bus that was late

oh, they have forked the linux kernel, so cute!
I mean, this is an individual forking it, not a group of people, right?

but reading the first 2 paragraphs, they are so full of shit that I wouldn’t trust them with a butter knife.

and then what’s the benefit of having veracrypt as a flatpak package? that it can be used with older dependencies? if so, is that a good thing to have for things that modify system startup?

It’s clear that it’s not free software, because as the name suggests, that’s about freedoms.

What is not really clear is that it’s not open source. To me at least it means that the source is public, you can change it, use it, send in patches, etc, but possibly with some limitations.

I really don’t understand the difference between free software and open source at tis point. It would make sense to me if this would make it nonfree, but I don’t understand why is it not open source anymore. Isn’t the open source definition a broader one than that of free software?

they’re pretty basic compared to it, both in regards to triggers and actions

I figured that every node would need to scrap the site, in order to validate the content. If there are thousands of nodes, that would ddos the site.

with cryptocurrencies the blockchain is distributed, its not stored centrally. your idea could work similarly

have a look at the community sidebar

that too, but not just that. how does access control work, how is memory safety around the receiving and authenticating code, is the traffic encrypted and how…because keystrokes, and I think mouse actions are also sensitive

the only remaining question is, how is security?

I must mention though that their solution is not really efficient. Everyone’s app gets the phone number, its just not displayed anymore. This can be circumvented with a little modification of the app, which is easy because it’s open source.

The newish feature (less than a year) is that I think they do not require a phone number to set up a new account.

How do you do that? A few days ago I have registered again, and I didn’t see the option. Didn’t you perhaps mean that the app can hide phone numbers?

well, at least former versions are still GPL

(part 2) technically, though, the other part of it is still the case: if you haven’t set yo key backup and you lost your phone, don’t be surprised if you can’t recover all your messages

that must be a relatively new feature

Telegram isn’t really an alternative, they don’t even use encryption by default, so it should be faster

even the user interface? the animations all over the app, scrolling between 2 consecutive messages of a room or anywhere in the settings? It’s not like element would encrypt the data at rest anyway. any and all menus of telegram are noticeably smoother, when not even looking for it
