It’s not, F-Droid version is 149. You really should avoid browsing the web with such an outdated browser.

Please do upgrade and avoid using an outdated browser.

NixOS so I can keep my config in git. I have a single nix config for all my machines (desktop, laptop and server) so I can share configuration between them. I use it to configure both my system and my user config, my dotfiles, with home-manager. Even my neovim config is in nix thanks to nixvim.

I don’t think I could go back now. It can be a bit of a pain from time to time and the learning curve is steep but it has so many advantages. Being able to rollback between config versions (called generations), having a consistent config between my machines, having it all in version control… The repo have so many packages and when there is a module it’s really easy to add a service. Writing new packages (derivations) and modules is also not that hard. It can be as simple as calling nix-init.

Had my main ssd fail on me a few month back and it was very simple to just replay the config and just get everything working as before. I only had to do the partitioning by hand (it can be done by nix but I’ve not gotten around to it yet). That’s why I only backup data and home partitions, not system partitions.

And CoMaps is its fork.

Telegram never was the private alternative to anything, unless you took their advertisement at face value. It was always known to not use e2ee by default.

Signal is not a problem, the US gov things were very dumb users issues. It was not caused by Signal itself.

So the goalpost has not moved in years, Signal was and is still good, Telegram is only fine if you do not care about privacy.

That’s not my claim.

Lol, “do your own research”.

This is not about me but about the advice you give to people. If you give advices you need to back them up, you can’t just answer “I disagree” to contradiction.

I’m not saying you said it was precise. I’m just saying that not every layer is important, or even good.

What if there are less people using that VPN IP than using that ISP IP, now your are giving more information with a VPN than without. How do you verify the claim that a VPN does not log? Spoiler, you can’t verify, it’s just trust. You have to chose who you trust enough to give them access to the website you visit.

You’re dodging the issue. Why would an IP that’s shared and does not give precise location be as important as precise GPS location?

No, those are not “layer of abstraction” and they do not have equal importances, claiming otherwise is counter-productive. Each data does not reveal the same quantity of information and their hierarchy depends on your threat model.

I don’t think that’s true for mobile IPs since they are shared.

They achieve a lot less since Macron is in power. He “listen to the street” (to the unions actually) a lot less than its predecessors. The yellow jackets had to go very far, with a lot of victims, just to get a few concessions. Repression is a lot more fierce with a lot of police violence. This had the effect of discouraging a lot of people, protests are generally smaller lately. It makes some think that direct actions is the only way now but not much has happened.

To find national protests with real achievement you’ll need to search before Macron. There were some local achievements lately though. And protest are not done alone, there are usually strikes, negotiations and legal leverages at the same time.

This picture is actually from 2018 I think, so the beginning of Macron as president.

That’s actually vx-underground source for this post: https://xcancel.com/vxunderground/status/2032562782248349793#m

From the article:

this is an OS that can’t actually run Doom, the game that seemingly runs on everything - even though it’s listed as supported in Vib-OS’s documentation (which was probably written by AI).

Yes, but I’ve stopped most of it since then. Had some great times, a few not so great, but in the end those were mostly good experiences.

Also alcohol is a drug, and one of the worst one.

Is it really? That’s the same thing as the AI coded compiler. It has multiple OS source code in it’s training data, as someone put it about the Claude C Compiler: “it’s a brute force attempt to decompress fuzzily stored knowledge contained within the network”.

And it’s very handy for this, I have the same config for all my devices (desktop, laptop and server). Enabling and disabling different modules depending on the host it’s deployed to.

That’s why they are asking for a self-hosted solution, not a Google one.

As for your bottom line remember the contributors are working on it for free, they are not selling anything. So they are not running after more users. It’s good as it is, non technical people can use flatpack or AppImage and technical people can add a repo without issues.

And someday someone could add it to the official repo, it could be you.
