According to TF1 he was arrested due to lack of cooperation with law enforcement regarding suspected complicity in drug trafficking, CSAM, and fraud. So my interpretation is that they repeatedly ignored french law enforcement asking Telegram to take down certain channels. Maybe warrant was the wrong word I am not a native speaker.

I will never understand why people defend this idiot. Plenty of secure chat apps exists in the EU without problems. Matrix for example is used by both the German and the French government. Telegrams CEO is just reaping what he sowed by ignoring French warrants.

If they grandfather existing subscribers in it might work for a few months or years, and what does the current Reddit leadership care if that community survives longer than they stay at the company. They also might make a few sales with paywalled celebrity IAmA threads. In any case I will watch from the sidelines and enjoy the spectacle 🍿.

I am using a immutable Fedora since January and it has been great so far.

Ok, and yet you still practically can’t buy anything but drugs with your crypto coins. They are also valued in ‘proprietary money’. Even in the unlikely event that privacy friendly crypto currencies catch on, regulations will make these either completely illegal or their use will require KYC verification as is already the case for normal transactions. As I keep saying, whether we like it or not technological solutions are worthless for political problems. You can’t code your way around a boot to your face.

Well, do it harder then. Ponzi coin isn’t a solution either.

The solution is to vote for privacy preserving policies. The only thing tech will do is taking your money while promising something that is impossible to implement, leaving you with nothing. Technological solutions are fundamentally ill suited to solving this issue.

So you are buying your groceries with that ponzi coin? Besides, if cash is made illegal cryptocurrencies are definitely also illegal and no legitimate business will accept them.

Your ponzi scheme won’t save you then. There are no technical solutions to a purely political problem.

“Everybody who disagrees with me is a bot.”

Spoken like a true bagholder. Cryptocurrencies are a ponzi scheme.

So that is why he is donating to the Trump campaign. Best to get in the list of people he wishes to be persecuted sooner than later. Apparently it’s first come first serve.

This is not surprising. When Tesla started out they had not much competition. Now that all the other carmakers have entered the market it is much harder to maintain their lead. Tesla losing market share was pretty much to be expected and Musk alienating their customers and the laughable Cybertruck certainly did not help.

Stop spreading lies. Firefox will not deprecate the APIs that enable adblocking..

What is your threat model? If you don’t want to give any data to these companies you simply can’t interact with them at all. Where do you draw the line? Once you have figured that out you can come up with a plan.

One thing you probably should always do is separating your business devices from your personal devices. Then create the accounts you need for your business and only use them with your work laptop or phone. If you want, you can invent a sockpuppet persona that acts as your social media manager. This should insulate your personal life from most tracking as long as you don’t use your work laptop for things unrelated to work. I wouldn’t fuss around too much with privacy preserving apps for a business accounts outside of ad-blocking and regularly cleaning up cookies.

Semmelweiss is also partially responsible for the widespread rejection of his findings. He basically called doctors who did not follow his advice murderers which naturally didn’t help his popularity. Antagonising someone who you are trying to convince usually just entrenches their opinions further.

Nobody ever accused powershell of being concise. Its uses a completely different philosophy, object oriented rather than string based. This makes powershell nicer to write scripts in but also makes it worse at bash style one-liner commands.

File search is really awful on windows for no reason at all. Your complaints about commandline utilities is not accurate though. Windows has native powershell equivalents to both grepand tail. You use Select-String instead of grep and Get-Content -Wait instead of tail.

The videos by suckerpinch are always a treat. I can also highly recommend his video about filesystems that store data in difficult ways, for example by playing Tetris in a NES emulator and using the arrangement of the tetris blocks as data store.

They will boil that frog slowly. Soon there will be an alternative subscription with a discount for previous license holders. Then they hide the option to buy a perpetual license so only people who spent time to search for it can find it; and finally they will remove the option completely and claim that they did that because “Nobody was buying it”.
