At the root of this issue is that Google never built a messaging service that could survive Google’s management shuffle. I understand people want Apple to bend the knee, but this is not their problem. It’s perfectly fine for them to intercede Beeper’s reverse engineering.

If you’re an Android user and you need a messaging app, Signal is 100% open source, secure, and it works on iOS too, so tell your friends!

The downside is I used to use Dropbox a lot for collabs with others. We’re now using something else (Google Drive 🤮) but for a while, Dropbox was king.

Maybe he has good friends in the Exec leadership.

Synology makes the best home NAS hardware you can get. And they are still actively supporting decades-old units with DSM security updates and aren’t stopping any time soon. They get it. And they get my money time and time again.

Cost prohibitive for many, but yes, people need to get off someone else’s computer.

Good question

Feel free to removed when we block Flipboard or Automattic. We’re only blocking Meta, because Meta’s interests are not the Fediverse’s best interest.

“If you can’t Dodge it, Ram it”

I see why Stellantis spun Ram into its own brand now.

Tesla’s self-driving and safety systems are clearly half baked compared to competitor and other vendors.

This shit will not stop until people (execs who fail to dot their Ts and do the OWASP audits) go to jail for it.

This tracks

And fleet operators have stricter requirements. Get in an accident? They want a piss test on the spot, and if you refuse you’re done.

and Tesla drivers are oblivious to any kind of reality

Fixed based on experience. I really do feel like these are scarlet letters to being thundering assholes, and they communicate with their king like wifi routers.

I can think of one but I’m told it’s not legal

The defendant can’t afford for them to go to court, additionally, it goes to discovery and names are revealed. Paying is cheaper and safer.

This is not a lawsuit, its extortion, but if it went to court, it definitely would be defeated by anti-SLAPP laws.

Not a local state’s national guard. They will send in other states.

I hope there are stay behinds in case the military goes against the public, but I doubt ut

I’m certain that regardless of whatever they do, they can’t fuck their way out of America’s population decline.

Now I just need a Roku version.
