I think the point is they get to know the exact time you first see the notification. It’s a massive flaw in the OS, and I believe I have read about this years ago already, so that “privacy OS” is not intending to fix this leak

mostly anything on windows

that can be done too. tarballed software normally doesn’t have permissions attached I think

but also the way it puts file data one after the other can be beneficial for compression, especially if you can define the order of the files somehow

didn’t they also push that downgrade for older versions?

there is. if the updater gui integrates with packagekit and systemd, it can start an offline update that reboots your system and installs the updates while nothing else is running.

kind of like on windows, except that this is one of the things where windows made the right call. complex software does not handle it well if its program libraries and assets are being replaced by newer ones that the running version cannot understand.

its still kind of a new thing, not all distros make use of it yet, but Fedora does, and it’s not a Fedora custom solution but something that most distros can have.

automatic filesystem snapshots and rollback can be integrated to this too, and then bye bye to updates breaking the whole system.

windows 10 works pretty well too. all things amazon work pretty well too. google’s services very rarely have bugs, even less security breaches. they are all so convenient! why are people switching to alternatives, that are sometimes worse, sometimes better?

Your argument in relation to GitHub does not take in the reality of the effort involved with migrating to a different platform, effort that is likely unpaid, has no logistical upside and stalls the development efforts of a project,

forgejo can automatically import issues, PRs, Wiki articles, and automatic pull/push mirrors can be set up to keep the repo up to date at other places.

the CI/CD system is almost the same.

all the usual features are the same or very similar, including the whole user interface.

not to mention breaking every single source code repository link across the wider internet, links that represent publicity and community engagement.

who said they need to delete the repo from github?

I think it’s admirable that a project is asking its community if it should stay or move

it indeed would be admirable if the communication did not contain offensive tones at multiple places.

and also don’t forget that they already migrated once. but in the meantime it seems they have gone back to github for reasons unknown to me.

I don’t think so. all user processes should be stopped in one way or another before the screen is turned off

but seeding more does not cost storage. why not let it seed until you delete it?

if it’s so that you can see which ones can you delete, just click on the ratio column to sort by that, and check which ones have a higher ratio

monero does not, but it’s users do manually. at least not too long ago it was recommended in the community

I was thinking about signal, and a fun fact is that if we invite all our friends and families to signal, then practically “none” of its users would care about such an incident either

but we do use self custody wallets, which is actually a good thing. and we do churn, because the anonymity set of the sender (right?) is pretty limited as of now. and churning is almost like mixing between wallets.

well an email address is plenty for that, and it’s easy to refer to when the reporters are reporting because of an email sent

then your hashbangs are bad. isn’t their point to tell the kernel exactly which interpreter can process it correctly?

Well not nothing. Android apps are quite easy to reverse engineer so there would be a high risk of them getting caught which would be quite damaging for WhatsApp’s brand.

none of their users would care. but also good luck finding a news site that cares to write about it and has some reach

There is certainly nothing technical stopping them from doing it, but that’s true of Signal too.

isn’t signal built reproducibly, without obfuscation?

there is place for doubts, but you are speaking like end to end encryption has no use in online meetings

what did Monero do to prevent it?
