I had mistaken molly for a different signal fork. Molly just uses an encrypted local db that doesn’t rely solely on the OS encryption method.

The database is encrypted

Take the w where you can get en right? Right!?

Still don’t require paying a living wage either. So yeah, that tracks.

Exciting times for hackers !

The echo chamber is pretty bad here. I also don’t like that people here downvote opinions they don’t agree with, Reddit did this too though. I don’t think opinions should ever be voted on, up or down. People see which types of opinions get the most upvotes and it causes them to not express their true opinions for fear of being downvoted.

This conflict has the potential to cause real change in Russia. We’re talking about potentially getting rid of Putin’s regime and it’s being done without sending any of our troops to die. The help Ukraine is getting isn’t charity, look at the bigger picture.

It depends on the amount of extra batteries that are made. In 2022, 225 million iPhones were sold. If an extra battery for every phone was produced, but only half of those consumers ever buy a new battery then we are looking at over 100 million wasted batteries. Then eventually all of those 225 million consumers would get a new phone anyways, so it still becomes waste at some point. I’m sure they will get better at predicting how many extra batteries to make eventually though. I do wonder how much it’s needed these days though. I get a new device every ~ 18 months but my spouse uses devices for ~ 5 years before getting a new one. She usually gets a new one just because of newer features, battery degradation doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue anymore.

It’s looking like Linus should have taken that $100 million offer he got and left when he had the chance.

While I am for this, this could create more E waste. Now there will be companies producing more batteries as consumers can now swap out batteries. So it’s possible that tons of batteries now just sit on shelves for years and eventually end up going to waste.

Now you can get a summary of the best fake reviews!

That thing does indeed keep the car cooler.

Roids only make your balls smaller.

Does anyone actually use either of those though? It’s always been more easy and convenient for me to just use my own phone.

These laws are fine until something better than c comes out. Then we have to wait for laws to be updated to make changes. We all know how slow government moves.

As someone who only ever browsed all, I see no difference.

This seems so ridiculous. I’m coming from a privacy perspective. I’m using a number of extensions that block as many trackers as possible. Now I may have to give that up just so someone can “attest” to my identity. I’ll have to forgo my privacy, otherwise I can’t use the web.

Alright, thanks. I’ll look around. I don’t have a problem with it if that’s why they chose ml, I just want to know for sure before I told anyone that. Some people get up in arms about socialism.

Do you have a source for that statement?

I want lemmy to have a hacker news mentality on posts and comments. Only post something if it will help continue a discussion. In the beginning that’s mostly what it was and it was great. Now it’s turning into Reddit V2. If that’s what people want then it’s fine, I just thought it’d be more like old Reddit where we only upvote content that added to a discussion.
